Wow! Such a good movie.

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I thought I had already reviewed this childhood memory. Certain I had.Standout characters were the gentle dog, the wise ox and the discriminated pigs.Most of the animals, the cow, the goat, they were hateful and hostile, reflective of the times.They didn't want to share their manger with humans. They didn't want to share their manger with the pigs. Pigs were disgusting.It seems the pigs spent much of the cartoon trying to peer over the gate to see what was happening with the humans and the birth.After the birth, the animals opinions softened.The pigs, still struggling to see over the gate door, suddenly burst into the manger, afraid of how the other animals would react to them being there.The other animals turned to look at the pigs, then calmly stepped aside, so the pigs could see the baby Jesus as well. Slowly the pigs approached, and they too smiled happily.Now came the part where the animals decided they must tell humanity about the birth of Christ, and they took to the streets, yelling as loud as they could, and suddenly, one by one, each animal returned to his assuming voice.The dog began barking, the goat began baaing, the rooster began crowing.They all sadly made their way back to the manger.The ox, as quickly as possible with his lumbering self, sought to summarize the events, until he too began mooing.Effective cartoon. Deserving of the ten.

The first time I saw this movie, I Had just gave birth to my first daughter. This movie was so inspirational that it brought tears to my eyes. I enjoyed this movie so much, I want my children and grandchildren to see it with me. It breaks my heart that this movie is not seen any more. I am in my late fifties, and I still would like to see this movie again. It may bring tears to my eyes, but they are tears of joy. With all the trouble around us we need more movies like The Night The Animals Talked. I have been searching for this movie for a very long time, if any one knows where I can find this movie, Please let us know. I looked at the family line-up for 25 days of Christmas, and again no movie of The Night The Animals Talked. This movie, The Night The Animals Talked is a great movie at Christmas time as well as anytime of the year. We need more movies like The Night The Animals Talked, to be seen on television. and DVD's or video, so more children could understand the great joy that it inspires.

"The Night the Animals Talked" I remember it still.I like many comments posted here, thought this was an awesome show. I was very young "the one and only time" I saw it. Five? Six years of age? I always looked for it at X-mas time special ...and never saw it again.At 46 years of age, I still remember it. It definitely made an impression. Now that I know it it is still out there. I will be trying to find it. Obviously a good cartoon for young kids. From some of the comments I've seen posted. It is a good show for us old kids now too. I am looking forward to finding it and seeing it again and sharing with my family. I mean here I am, searching for it on the net. Obviously it made an impression. Helps to be an animal lover, but not necessary to enjoy this movie.

I saw this as a child when it was first shown in 1970, and was so moved I cried...and when I found it on the USA Network in 1998 I watched it again, to see if my five-year-old tears held up--and sure enough, it choked me up again.Not the greatest of animation...but the storyline and climax will hook you in, and never let you go. A forgotten Christmas classic that deserved much more than its single 1970 showing on network TV--search for it during the holidays...it's worth it.
