    Need a name for this Short Cartoon Film!
    Hey :)

    Can anyone help me remember the name of this short cartoon film?

    It was either from the late 70's or 80's (small chance early 90's but I doubt it!)

    It's about a giant living in his castle and he's upset that the local kids keep going in his garden and climbing in his tree's, so he decides to build a wall around his house to keep everyone out and as he's doing so there's like a little song playing with the words "He's building a wall to surround himself" my memory is a little vague but I think the story goes that he gets ill or something and needs help from his neighbours and it ends with him taking down the wall and letting the kids play in his garden.

    I'm pretty sure that it's a silent film besides the music, it's in colour and it's the kind of the same animation as "The Snowman".

    Would be great if anyone could help as I keep telling friends about it and they remember it but nobody knows what it's called, my parents recorded it from Channel 4 (UK) I think but it was taped over :( It may or may not have been shown in USA etc
