synopsis
This animated version of Dickens' David Copperfield was produced in Australia by Burbank Films. The filmmakers strive valiantly to crowd every incident in David's life--from "I Am Born" to Manhood--into 90 minutes. Sometimes they succeed. Other times, broad, childish strokes are used in place of Dickens' comparatively subtler literary devices. David Copperfield was first seen in the US over the HBO cable service on October 2, 1984.
