Forgot all about this one and then I heard the theme on DirecTV's Hol;iday Pops station...and I had to put this one up.
In 1982, this book was turned into a 26-minute animated movie by Dianne Jackson for the fledgling Channel 4. It was first shown on Channel 4 late on Christmas Eve in 1982 and was an immediate success. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Animated Short Film in 1983. It has been shown every year since and has become a part of British and international Christmas popular culture. (from Wikipedia)
Unfortunately, Diane Jackson passed away way too early during a brilliant career. She also found time to animate the Snowmen dance sequence. She's amazing!
