Watched way too much of this one as well when I was younger. Trying to track down a copy for my kids.
The animation is quite amazing.

Good luck, I heard they lost a lot of the original sound tapes to the movie in the big fire that tore through one of the major studio backlots in the 90's. That's why there's never been a remastered release of the movie since the 80's.

Be aware that this is the german region 2 PAL DVD with english and german audio and subs. But you shouldn't have a problem playing one of those nowadays.
