File The Stingiest Man in Town.jpg thumb 200px The Stingiest Man in Town 1978 in film 1978 is a Christmas special created by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass , which featured traditional animation rather than the Animagic most often used by the company. It was an animated remake of a long unseen, but quite well received, live action musical special also called The Stingiest Man in Town which had originally starred Basil Rathbone , Martyn Green , and Vic Damone . The live action version had been telecast on Dec. 23 1956 on the NBC anthology series The Alcoa Hour , and was published on DVD in 2011, by VAI. As with previous Rankin Bass specials, animation duties were provided by a Japan ese studio, in this case Top Craft , which would later provide animation assistance for Hayao Miyazaki s Nausica of the Valley of the Wind film Nausica of the Valley of the Wind and the TV series Adventures of the Little Koala . Given that The Stingiest Man in Town was actually broadcast in Japan on Christmas Eve of 1978 under the title Machi Ichiban Kechinbo , it is listed as an anime in some sources. The Japanese version was directed by Katsuhisa Yamada , better known for work on such bona fide anime as Mazinger Z and Devil Hunter Yohko . Plot The 1978 version, based on the famous Dickens classic A Christmas Carol , is a tale of Ebenezer Scrooge told through the perspective of narrator B.A.H. Humbug voiced by Tom Bosley obviously a word play on Scrooge s catch phrase, bah humbug .
