Movie Reviews of The Christmas Collection
Movie Review: A Treasury of Christmas Entertainment
Summary: 5 Stars
First I must say my deepest sympathy goes to anyone who is disappointed with this collection.
I do not believe the review by "Mysterious Mr Wong" can be improved, but perhaps I can expand it a bit.
Disc I, without a doubt offers humor and nostalgia.
Disc II, is a windfall for fans of animated cinemaphotography. For them, the Jack Frost title noted by "MMW" as, "(Not the famous version)" is an Ub Iwerks, classic ComiColor Cartune. With a little Googling you may discover that Iwerks, a fantastic innovative animator was the creator of Mickey Mouse, it wasn't Walt Disney. Several Fleischman productions are included on this disc too.
Disc III, the movies are excellent Christmas fun. In my opinion, "Beyond Tomorrow" aka "Beyond Christmas" could easily rate with "The Bishop's Wife", "A Christmas Story" or "It's a Wonderful Life" as a forever classic. "Miracle on 34th Street", was first aired on TV, Dec. 14, 1955 on "The 20th Century-Fox Hour". A review of that may be found at The Internet Movie Database (IMDb).
If you buy this, enjoy!
Movie Review: Christmas nostalgia
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this collection in hopes that it would contain the Christmas cartoons I watched in my youth, and I wasn't disappointed! "Santa's Surprise" & "Somewhere in Dreamland" (on the 2nd disc) were my favorites as a kid and watching them again brought back so many memories! And there were other cartoons that I immediately recognized once they came on, but never would have remembered otherwise.
As the cartoons are from the 30s and 40s, they are NOT PC, and contain what would now be characterized as "racist" undertones... but I only notice this now that I am watching them as an adult. I didn't pick up on anything when I was a little kid watching them in the 80's, so I still consider it a "safe" collection to purchase for your children.
Movie Review: A wonderful collection!
Summary: 5 Stars
This collection is marvelous! It contains many of the Christmas shows I remember from my childhood, and I even discovered a few wonderful shows that I had missed. The DVD format is great. I had a great time playing these shows for my children this season. Many of them were also the perfect length for playing on our DVD player in our van when we were driving to various holiday events and parties.Movie Review: 36 features on The Christmas Collection
Summary: 5 Stars
The Christmas collection has over 13 hours of Christmas entertainment. It contains everthing from TV shows from the past, such as Ozzie & Harriet and The Jack Benny Show, to TV classics like Rudolph and Jack Frost. There are also several movies, Miracle On 34th Street being my favorite. I think anyone who loves Christmas will find several shows that bring back memories and help to make new ones.Movie Review: Best of the Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
There were many other features I might have added to this collection were I the one in charge, but then, it would have been a 40-disk collection. Let me just say that I got an awesome collection of good old, nostalgic Christmas goodies I'll be a long time viewing and re-viewing. Lots of baang for the buck - 6 stars worth. 'Nuff said.
