    Mr Horatio Knibbles

    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!

    Extremely strange.

    Originally aimed at the very young but interesting to watch many years later. I don't wish to be unkind but was the girl who played Mary chosen due to her having teeth like a rabbit? No doubt very well enjoyed even now by the very young.

    Owes a lot to Harvey

    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.

    Mr.Horatio Nibbles

    this is a classic film. i am 18 years old and i absolutely love it. i remember when i was younger i used to have it on video and watch it every day with my brother and two cousins. that video tape got recorded over and i am really upset. my auntie has just had a baby girl so i am trying to get a copy of this film and give it to her so she can enjoy it as much as i did. this is a magical film that the whole family can enjoy. but saying that my mum got fed up with it because i used to watch it so much. i have looked for this film for so long and i don't care how much it costs so if anyone can tell me where to get this film i would be SOO grateful. please could you email me if you have any information. thanks xxx
