The Little match girl

Puppet animation is used to recount Hans Christian Andersen's tale of the little girl who tries to sell her matches on New Year's Eve. Ignored by passers-by she freezes to death, while fantasizing about happier days with her grandmother.

This film, in doll animation, tells the story of the poor little girl who must sell matches to support herself and her wicked father, and of the Christmas Eve when nobody would buy her wares.
