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.

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".

When she is brought down by illness, Murdstone arranges for David to move with him to London to work in his factory, where he encounters Agnes Wickfield and her father the Duke.

David hopes to escape from the factory though Mealy tells him of various obstacles like the "Cheese Monster", a vulture that circles the premises to catch runaways.

While working the night shift, David glimpses the "Moldies" in a drainage grate, one of Murdstone's experiments that trapped workers in a mold-like slime.

The Cheese Monster gives David a chance to catch up to Agnes and the two leave for Dover where Aunt Betsey lives.

Despite her earlier animosity, Betsey is glad to see David and agrees to help get back at Murdstone and Grimby and freeing their slaves.
