Name of the Video?

Many years ago, I remember a short TV video about a little poor girl selling match-boxes. I only remember that girl walking in the streets and shouting "Matches, matches-------". Can anyone tell me the name of that video?

There were several films based on the Hans Christian Andersen tale "The Little Match Girl" first published in 1945.  I don't know what you consider "short", but I will list the films I can find. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093425 from 1987. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0495375 from 1974. The Little Match Seller (1902), a short silent film directed by James WilliamsonThe Little Match Girl (1914), a 9 minute long silent film directed by Percy Nash.The Little Match Girl (1928), La Petite Marchande d'Allumettes), a 40-minute silent film by Jean Renoir.La Jeune Fille aux Allumettes (1952), French director Jean Benoît-Lévy's film version, includes a brief dance sequence with ballet star Janine Charrat.Den lille pige med svovlstikkerne (1953), Danish film director Johan Jacobsen adapted the Andersen story to a short film, starring Karin Nellemose, Françoise Rosay, and Agnes Thorberg Wieth. The film competed for the short film prize of the 1954 Cannes Film Festival.La vendedora de rosas (1998; Little Rose Selling Girl), directed by Víctor Gaviria, is a Colombian movie about homeless children victims of solvent abuse, loosely based on "The Little Match Girl"; it competed for the Palme d'Or at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival.Resurrection of the Little Match Girl (2003) is a Korean movie.Matchstick Girl (2015), a modern adaptation short film set in the UK, was produced and directed by Joann Randles.Match Shojo (2016), a Japanese adaptation of Sanami Suzuki's manga starring Sumire Sato.Animated filmsColor Rhapsodies (1937), a Charles Mintz studio color cartoon adaptation set in 1930s New York City, directed by Arthur Davis and Sid Marcus, and considered among the studio's best films.

Her first appearance during the musical number "The Stingiest Man in Town" shows Scrooge "buying" two packs of matches from her, only to pay her with a button from his coat and go on his way laughing at her expense, leaving her bewildered. Her second, and final, appearance in the special is in the musical number "Mankind Should Be My Business", it shows her shivering from the cold and a now-reformed Scrooge giving her his coat and a handful of gold coins.The Little Match Girl (2003), an animated short film by Junho Chung for Fine Cut: KCET's Festival of Student Film."The Little Match Girl" (2005), ADV Films' adaptation released in Hello Kitty Animation Theater, Vol. 3.The Little Match Girl (2006), the last of four Walt Disney Animation Studios shorts originally intended to be part of a Fantasia (2006) compilation film, which project was canceled.
