Phantom of the Opera

This animated version of the Phantom of the Opera was directed in 1988 by Al Guest and Jean Mathieson and it stars Aiden Grenell, Collette Proctor and Daniel Reardon. 
It tells the story of Gaston Leroux's book of a opera singer who's torn between the man she loves and her tutor, a disfigured man who poses as her Angel of Music. 

Same old story. The good thing is that it quotes parts directly from the book. the bad things are pretty much everything else. The animation - the only reason I watched this - sucks big time. You can't really begin to imagine how much it sucks. The arms of the characters are generally too short and don't stop getting longer and shorter with each movement. The Phantom's movements are constant and get on one's nerves from minute one. I've only watched one thing worsely animated than this and it was Hercules - not to be confused with Hercules

The voice of the Phantom isn't bad, and the one of Raoul is pasable, but Christine's wailing pirce your brains.
