David Copperfield is a 1993 Canadian traditionally animated film adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic 1850 novel of the same name. Produced for and premiered on NBC, the film is directed by Don Arioli and features the voices of Sheena Easton, Julian Lennon, Howie Mandel, Andrea Martin, Kelly Le Brock, Michael York and Joseph Marcell.
Loosely based on Dickens' original plot, the human characters are replaced with anthropomorphic animals. It omits several major characters (such as Mr Creakle, Dora Spenlow and Uriah Heep) and adds fantastical elements, such as the "moldies" and the "cheese monster".
