Christmas Classics with Frosty, Rudolph and Santa [Blu-ray]

great christmas movie bundle

I bought another DVD Ruldolph on Amazon last year and it was not at all the same one I grew up watching on T.V. I'm so happy to see the ones from long ago on this DVD set. Quality was good for both the animation and music. Who can't love Burl Ives ! Yes, do order this if you are looking for the original classics.

I remember these movies from the "old days," and was happy to share them with my two granddaughters (4 years and 22-months) at Christmastime. They loved them. The four-year-old did ask, "Is it almost over?" while the Santa Claus movie still had some time left, but when I asked her if she wanted to turn it off and do something else, she said no. Rudolph was, as always, a fetching character and the youngest girl later wanted to print out coloring-book pictures of Rudolph from the Internet. The older girl, who had seen the Rudolph movie once before, was referring to the "abominable snowman" before he even appeared on screen--and, of course, I was thrilled that she could pronounce the "big word," though the first-syllable may have been clipped a couple of times. <wink> She did find him to be a scary character, but when I asked her if he turns good at the end, she said, "Yes, he puts a star on the Christmas tree," so the theme of redemption was definitely received. Will definitely re-view this next Christmas!

If you loved the classic clay-mation movie of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and the animated classic Frosty the Snowman as a kid then this is a must have set for you. We bought this set when we were having trouble finding Rudolph in particular on TV this season and wanted to introduce the movie and characters to my little ones. This set is available on DVD and Blu-ray so shows how important these movies are.The DVD version we got played great and was just what we wanted. This gift set has 2 discs in it and covers 7 movies, most of which I had never heard of but had fun watching as a family. You get the main reason we bought it Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, along with Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Frosty the Snowman, Frosty Returns, Mr. Magoos Christmas Carol, The Little Drummer Boy, and Cricket on the Hearth. This is a very comphrehensive set for families and fans alike.

Great addition to the Christmas collection Rudolph, frosty and Santa! It's just not Christmas without Rudolph! I love watching the classic's that I grew up on as adult. Brings back so many memories.

We don't normally watch TV in our house because of the poor quality and questionable morals displayed in many of the programs, but we do watch videos, which is why I wanted this compilation of the Original Christmas Classics. I grew up watching many of these programs on TV each Christmas in the 1970s and 1980s; it was part of our family tradition, and something we looked forward to each year. I'm glad that I can now share the same tradition with my kids. This set includes two DVDs in a slipcase, and each DVD case has a brief description (on the back) of the programs it contains. The quality of the video and audio is very good and probably clearer than when I watched them originally on broadcast TV. It is important to note that another classic, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", is not included in this set so you'll need to purchase it separately (for about $12.)

Pros:-This product is a great value, featuring SEVEN Christmas movies! Even though not all of them are as strong as the others (in my opinion) there is so much value here that the less-than-stellar movies are just add-ons, in my eyes.-Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer features a semi-rare scene (the Cornelius peppermint mine end-scene).-Rudolph also fixes some color errors that were seen in previous editions of this collection (though iirc, Cornelius's clothes still flash green a couple of times.).-Some pretty interesting trivia in the bonus features of Rudolph, Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town, and the original Frosty the Snowman.Cons:-2/3 of the aforementioned trivia bonus features are interlaced with footage of annoying kids answering questions about Christmas lol-In some discs, Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town will improperly fade to black 2-3 times. If you receive one of these discs, call 1-888-223-4369 and the distributor will send you a replacement disc for free that fixes the errors!-Some of the audio can be hard to hear at times.-If you're interested, the Blu-Ray release of Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol has bonus features, while in this package the movie itself is almost treated as a bonus feature.-To my knowledge, at least with Rudolph, previous DVD editions had tons of extras which (I think) could have easily been added into this package, especially seeing as they wouldn't take up much storage space on the disc due to their SD quality. I'm not sure if different versions of the Rudolph DVDs had different extras, but I'm sure they could have acquired the right to use the bonus features even if they had to use multiple releases as sources.

I love these Christmas classics, I remember watching these when I was 11 years old and abc was doing a marathon reruns the entire month of December of all the classic Christmas shows so I would watch shows like Rudolph, frosty the snowman, Santa clause is coming to town, a year without santa, the new year baby, Jack Frost, cricket on the hearth, the little drummer boy and Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol everyday for that whole month of December such a wonderful memory and now my children get to enjoy them every December.

No complaints, whatsoever!!!

Bought this to show my born-in-Germany kids the specials I grew up with as a kid back in America. There are 7 films in all and these are:Frosty the Snowman (1969) DTS HD-MA 5.1Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) DTS HD-MA 5.1Santa Claus Is Coming to Town (1970) DTS HD-MA 5.1The Little Drummer Boy (1968) DTS HD-MA 2.0Cricket on the Hearth (1967) Dolby Digital 2.0Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (1962) DTS HD-MA 5.1Frosty Returns (1992) DTS HD-MA 2.0The Language is English only and there are no subtitles (Some of these can be downloaded from the Internet and incorporated into the film with Handbrake or played back via Plex). Also comes with a lot of specials but those don't interest me. All I wanted were the movies in Blu-Ray quality to rip and view in Plex. Delivery takes a while, but who cares? There's still plenty of time before Christmas!!

We have not watched the films yet as they arrived after Xmas, shame. But look forwrd to them next year.

We're so happy we bought this set. We love the original Christmas movies and are so happy to share them with our kids. The two big ones for us are "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and "Frosty the Snowman", and these are both in this set. The others are just bonuses.

Must have
