 Magoo and Frosty and Rudy? I'd replace it with Rudolph's sequals and the Summer w/o Christmas July 21, 2008
eightstrings'nsixteencylindrical basses(in treb) (Bonesville Oklahomers, land of the Faries who wear boots that Ozzy spoke of befroe I got here.)
Great collection yet Magoo and Frosty don't mix to me, these R&B classics should be together with Shiny New Year and the Summer without Christmas(if that is the title of that fourth of july special) Magoo should be on his own collection as with "Cricket on the Hearth." The others are just right! Santa is Comin to Town is the "Life and Adventures" tale based(loosely) on the 1902 novella yet not so Pagenesque. Micky Roony as always does a great santa. Burl Ives, the narrator should have been given duel roles though as his voice is much better. The comical dentist elf, beleve it or not, reprised his role in the Drew Barrymore version of Rudolph in 2001 or some such year.
Classic Christmas TV specials come alive! April 13, 2008
C. Eberlein (Boston, MA)
There's something magical about the Original Christmas TV Classics. Even though present day animation far outshines anything presented here in this delightful collection, there is something missing from modern effects in animation that can't be attainable. Call it a certain wholesomeness, call it innocence or call it pure genius on part of their creators, but the Original Christmas Classics DVD set is a must for anyone enchanted with the Christmas stories of decades past. "Cricket on the Hearth" is a sweet, albeit dated short about a not-as-famous Christmas story from the author of the infamous Christmas Carol that is quite rare, and just as enchanting. Don't miss out on memories!

Keep them alive!!!! February 25, 2008

I'm the first to say we need to move on as a society, as a race, but we do need to preserve the values and traditions that have sustained us. As such, these movies may be (very) old-school animation and the storylines sometimes campy, but they are holiday favorites, and the values they preach are in dire need today. They should be viewed by FAMILIES at the holidays and all year round.
Christmas treasury of classic cartoons February 13, 2008
J. F. Marino (Philadelphia, PA USA)
Well the "Whos" of Whoville will tell you Christmas comes without many things, including ribbons, bows, boxes etc. (And if you want the Grinch buy the companion x-mas classics II) But take it from me, although they may be right, Christmas is BETTER when you can walk down memory lane with all your childhood friends from these TV cartoons. All your standard favs are here, including Rudolph, Frosty and Santa. But we also get to go way back to the very first r Magoo's Christmas Carol, yes he pre-dates Rudy by two years, and ending with one hardly ever shown anymore Cricket on the Hearth! One extra special note this set includes one of the rarest Christmas stories ever put on film, the Little Drummmer Boy. An actual religious story, which tells the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Christ, through a child's eyes yet! Image that, maybe miracles do still happen.
