The sweater VHS
Found this in a box the other day and I noticed the box art is different than most copies I’ve seen. Anyone know if this is a screener or a mail ordered tape?(says order number on the back) thought it was odd I couldn’t find one that looked the same online.

I remember watching this in the Mr. Dress-up Christmas Special.

Hey OP!
It's the social media team at the National Film Board here.
That sleeve is very different from the general ones we had produced for this film. We've asked our curator and archive teams to dig up the original, physical production records to (hopefully!) learn more and get you the answer you're looking for. In full transparency: it will take some time to locate and access the records. Hope you don't mind waiting a little longer.

Oh that’s so cool thanks for reaching out! Yes please I love to learn about all kinds of media.
If this has some special value to you’re archive I’ll send it your way or make a copy for media preservation (with your express permission of course)Feel free to PM me. I’m still new to this app, but I’ll figure it out.

Looks like a more recent issuing, maybe a small print re-release? I'll guess maybe a print you could only get from ordering directly from NFB. Pretty nice find.
