I’ve got some good news. I recently talked with my brother, who was in the same class as me. I talked to him about the cartoon, and he remembers one more detail from the episode about the little boy. After the boy becomes handsome, he says, “I am made whole.” I did talk to him about the episode with the nice old lady, but he doesn’t remember anything about that one. Still, I think this will be helpful for the search.
The episode with the hunchback boy is "An Untold Miracle", and the one with the nice old woman is "Busy Befana". They are part of 3-episode (the third being "The Wondrous Candle") anthology series "Christmas Tales from Foreign Lands", animated by artist Karen Rhine and produced by Colman Communications Corporation in 2000.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find online videos everywhere... Even the preview videos in the schoolvideos website doesn't work...
I have linked to teacher's guides PDFs of each of the episodes found in the Colman Communications website. They have a lot of information and some pictures and coloring illustrations from the episodes, but that's really about it...
