The Small One and Old Time Radio

Do you by any change remember the Disney film, The Small One? If so you know what a dear story it is. A true treasure of a short film and a rarity in the Disney movie collection for it was religious. It is touching and adorable. You can watch the Disney version on youtube in three parts beginning here.

As much as do enjoy the Disney film I prefer another version. The film was based on a book which was made into a radio story by Bing Crosby. You can find the radio program here, Number 10. The show begins with Christmas carols but then leads into this sweet story.

If you have never listened to old time radio shows, you are missing out! There are hundreds online, from the sweet to the funny to the exciting. Great family entertainment. The quality of the shows is delightful. Our family loves listening to old classic stories and adventures like the Lone Ranger and Tarzan. What a fun way to spend time together.
