These movies have a way of bringing your youthful Christmas memories to life. My husband and I have really enjoyed watching these claymation classics and feeling the Christmas Spirit!
Christmas classics are a hit!

This video arrived quickly, and my kids and I love it. It even has “The Little Drummer Boy” which we haven’t seen in years.
Nice collection, but some atrocious video quality
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
All in all this is a nice collection. The quality of Rudolph, Frosty and Santa Clause seem to be worthy of a DVD (and let’s face it – the originals are all 30+ years old). However, The Little Drummer Boy appears to have been video-taped from a TV with an antenna on the roof. The quality is simply BAD. The frames are grainy, fuzzy and blurred, and the text frames are simply unreadable. I can’t believe someone would actually have the brass to SELL this abomination – I wouldn’t give it away, it’s so bad.
Don’t get me wrong – overall the collection is very nice and brings back most of the Christmas TV specials we grew up with. It’s just a shame that the producers didn’t do a better job re-mastering the Drummer Boy.

TOO BAD THEY CUT RANKIN/BASS INTRO & ORIGINAL STUFF FOR DESTINY’S CHILD
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
For those who grew up with this Rudolf classic, there is a great set of articles on [...] by Rick Goldschmidt, author of a couple of great books on the Rankin and Bass studio. He notes that, “In 1998, Classic Media’s then President Alexander Drosin asked Arthur Rankin, Jr. to do an introduction for the DVD release of both RUDOLPH and FROSTY THE SNOWMAN. Mr. Rankin graciously agreed to participate in exchange for the RANKIN/BASS name to be carried on the DVD front cover (which it was)” but then Drosin left and the new staff at Classic Media decided to make changes.
The 1998 version had the addition of an original song (Fame and Fortune) and some scene material that had been cut in later tv versions. This 2007 version cut out the restored song and scenes to make room for Destiny’s Child…as well as cut the rare piece with Mr. Rankin.
What were they thinking…Geez…So for real enthusiasts of Rankin and Bass, this is a shame…but for youngsters and young at heart, the story and animation is still tops.

How great it is to have all my childhood Christmas shows in one box. I had taped these off the tv for my children back in the “80’s but now here they are. We all enjoyed them. Thanks.
Christmas surprise

My hubby and I were talking about the great classics and he wistfully wondered where he could find them for the grandkids. I purchased this as a stocking stuffer and had great fun in watching his face when he opened it. Thanks for the prompt shipping.
Christmas Cheer!

My kids loved this classic Christmas movie set. It was also good fun for my wife and I since it brought back so many childhood memories.
NOT AS ADVERTISED MIRMEDIA WHERE’S CRICKET?
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
All you have to do is look at the box.IT says 6 classics I don’t know why this isn’t being pointed out.I bought this set as advertised from MIRMEDIA_MOVIES_AND_MUSIC but there is no cricket on the hearth in this set.After I got a nasty email back from them telling me I was wrong they found out I was right and said they would make it right and here I am 2 weeks later and the company won’t respond.Just be careful who you buy from.This is clearly false advertising maybe the good reviews are old.Anyway I would suggest buying the other set so you don’t get ripped off.The company I bought from is MIRMEDIA_MOVIES_AND_MUSIC.Just make sure the company you are buying from has the 6 classics as advertised.
Great set
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The kids watch them no matter the time of year. They are usually on later at night during the holiday season and the kids shoudl be in bed so I bought both sets and they are great. Recordings are great, just like when we were kids.
