...the only question one has is whether Ian Carmichael as The Water Rat has a better singing voice than Peter Sallis as the Water Rat.

Ian Carmichael. Carmicheal earlier voiced Frith, the God of Rabbits, in the Watership Down film.

Peter Sallis. Better known alternatively as Clegg in the never-ending Last of the Summer Wine series (he's been playing the same character since 1973), or the voice of Wallace in Wallace and Gromit.

Good lord, I've seen this maybe once in my life, and thought it was charming - this was late enough that I'd just finished this utterly trauma-enducing Harlan Ellison short story, so running into it on TV was a really nice break. I'd thought I either imagined I'd seen something like that, or was remembering it better than it was.

And here everyone else seems to have watched it dozens of times!

You may have seen the movie, which is what the first clip is from. It was later spun off into quite a decent series that lasted for a few seasons, and was on Canadian TV for a long time.
