Product FeaturesCustomer ReviewsRated I think is a worthly price for this Item, my son really enjoyed all the movies and for me it was a good price for all the movies we received.... Rated All the Great Classics from an Excellent Retailer. Fast shipping & my kids love the shows. Unfortunately - the songs CD isn't the original songs from the included shows on DVD - but the same songs sung by somebody else - but that isn't this seller's problem. They did a great job and I would highly recommend purchasing from them again! Rated We got it for Christmas and my 2 year old boy likes all the cartoons, nice collection. Rated Bought this for my 5 year old and she loves it just as much as i did when i was young Rated This is the best collection of classic Christmas animation I have ever seen. These were the big "Specials" we kids looked forward to every Christmas season. Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin, Jr. were the two masterminds responsible for bringing these and many other classics to life. These cartoons were known primarily as "claymation" classics. SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN This cartoon recounts the origins and upbringing of the man in the red suit. Special attention is given to his famous methods and how they originated (I.e. placing gifts in stockings, using the chimney). Whether or not this is how these motifs really started, will be of little interest the viewing audience (young and old alike) as they are caught up and swept along by the magical delight of the Santa Claus story. Voice talents featured include Fred Astaire as the narrator, Paul Frees (Boris of "Bullwinkle and Rocky" fame), and the legendary Mickey Rooney as Kris Kringle, himself. FROSTY THE SNOWMAN Happy Birthday! What more appropriate first line could one ask for from the world's most famous snowman? FROSTY is one of the very few Rankin/Bass Christmas features to be shown entirely in regular cartoon animation. Yet it still boasts all the delight and charm of the other R/B classics. Jimmy Durante is unforgettable as the narrator/singer, and his rendition of "Frosty the Snowman" is arguably unrivaled. The classic ending reminds us that it is a tale for children and we are all a child to some degree or another. This is shown as the evil magician is punished by Santa by having to write sentences stating that he will not torment Frosty any longer (like a teacher would do with a troublesome youngster). LITTLE DRUMMER BOY This the only cartoon in the set with a biblical connection. Although the story of "the little drummer boy" is not in the Bible, it still places high on most people's Christmas song list. And this little story will boast the same amount of meaning and charm as the classic carol. Although it's quite slow in some places, the pace does eventually pick up and the conclusion is as rewarding as any that could be desired. RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER This was the Granddaddy of them all. It features the most memorable characters and still boasts the ability to captivate each new generation of viewers. Songs such as "Misfits" and Burl Ives beautiful ditty "Silver and Gold" have lasting memories for anyone who grew (or grows) up on this. Yukon Cornelius, Hermey (the elf/dentist wannabe), Clarice, the Abominable Snowman, and all the misfit toys help breathe life into the story and make RUDOLPH the most memorable and endearing claymation classic of them all.
