Reviews and Comments

From TibbyH :

For all those who perceive animation to be nothing but funny animals and children's entertainment, I bring you this. From UPA, a top-notch adaptation of one of literature's finest writers, "The Tell Tale Heart". This cartoon has a marvelous atmosphere with eerie backdrops with basically tell the entire story by themselves. The narration by James Mason is almost the entire reason to watch this as he gives a disturbing performance and hooks you in 'till the very end. Horror and animation fans who have not seen this NEED to watch this under appreciated masterpiece.
