From 1974 comes this 24 minute combination live action and animated documentary entitled Man, Monsters & Mysteries which examined the questions man has had through the ages regarding mysteries and monsters, focusing on Nessie (the Loch Ness Monster) voiced by Sterling Holloway and narrated by Sebastian Cabot.

Cels are in overall excellent condition a collection as beautiful as it is charming.
