Mr. Horatio Knibbles

My mom recorded it off of TV a long time ago onto VHS. I am not 100% sure of the condition of the recording, but I believe that it's still watchable. I would have to contact her to see if she still has it. But I am pretty sure she does. I used to watch this as a kid too. I'm sorry to say that I don't remember a whole lot about it. Except for the rather large rabbit that kinda looked like he belonged in Alice in Wonderland. If I can get it, I know someone that can transfer it to DVD, but I am not sure that it would be R2. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me. I'm not sure what I would need to do, but I am sure that we can find a way.

Long before I actually saw this film my eye had been caught by a seriously weird still from it in 'The International Encyclopaedia of Film', of the eponymous Mr Knibbles escorting the heroine; and it's certainly one of the rummest productions ever made by the Children's Film Foundation.

Unusually told from the point of view of a girl (the charmingly buck-tooted Lesley Roach), already undeservedly blamed for kleptomania because of the antics of a local magpie, her imaginary friend (first seen stealthily stalking her through the undergrowth) is obviously based on 'Harvey', a dapper fellow in top hat and waistcoat invited to a children's party by squirrel mail; his reply is delivered within the hour by a pigeon, which would certainly come in handy given the current postal strike.

Brilliant for the little kids or even the big kids found it on dvd at vics rare films absolutely brilliant

This film reminds me of Harvey,starring James Stewart,only not as good. Given the minimal budget it is not surprising that there is no attempt at special effects other than lap dissolves. Fairly average CFF film.

I am so surprised to find so many comments about this film, i though i was the only person in the world who loved this film so much when i was little! It used to be aired really early Christmas morning and i would love anyone to contact me if they know where to obtain a copy of this film or if they can sell me one! I have a little sister who has never seen this and would love my children in the future also to be able to watch it. My memories of the film are quite sketchy, but i remember thinking it was great and my mum and dad have never forgotten the film or how much my brother and i loved it. Please contact me if you have any info on the whereabouts of this film!
