  • Police Officer Flanagan gives a little blind girl, Billie, a Raggety-Ann doll, and she is told she can see it if she uses her imagination; she does so and the slum neighborhood is transformed into an enchanted fairyland, alive with beautiful colors and music.

      Yes exactly! My grandmother had this on VHS when I was a kid (I would have watched it in about 2005) and the film was so blurry and scratched and the sound was a bit garbled. But I watched the whole thing through so many times.

    My grandma had this on a VHS. It really is groundbreaking. They don’t label the blind character as disabled. They even give some perspective into how her world is different. How she sees with her hands. And listens to her world.
    I don’t have any idea when this was made. But the advocacy and beauty of it, especially for something so classic is a treasure!

    This cartoon has a beautiful message, that was well before its time, of how everyone is perfect as they are and deserve to be treated as equals, made proper by the ending quote, "There are some who see with the eyes in their head and some who see with the eyes in their heart." 💝

    I consider The Enchanted Square as the saddest Raggedy Episode, because the blind's issue. The sight is a beautiful gift for every one.
    However blindness didn't stop Billie to be happy, this is because Billie has a awesome heart.

    One of the first cartoons I ever saw, first viewing it on a VHS tape at my grandparents' house before they gave it to me and my parents. I'd watch it time and again, but the more heavy aspects went way over my head.
    Rewatched it the other night, and I forgot how bittersweet and wholesome it was. Also, the animation and art is top notch.

    I used to love this cartoon as a little girl,(And actually still have it on VHS somewhere actually) (And the 1941 one), and I didn't realize the little girl Billie was blind until watching it again years later, When realizing that, It makes it kinda sad but happy and innocent at the same time. =) I love Ann's beautiful singing voice in this too!

    For anyone wondering, this was in a vhs of a Snow White film titled Snow White and the Magic Mirror (1994). This tape also included a hippo afraid of vaccinations, and a crocodile with a toothache.

      Barbra anne Piper Well this cartoon is almost 73 years old. I wouldn’t doubt if there are multiple tapes with this film on it. The one I was referencing came included in a vhs of a Snow White animated film from the 90’s.
