(n2drama, 2009-03-06) 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.
(S. Mangione, 2009-01-17) 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.
(R. Harrison, 2008-12-24) 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!
(Betty Boom, 2008-11-30) 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.
(David Rickard, 2008-11-27) 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.
