The first 3 titles are great. Frosty Returns has completely different illustrations than the Original Frosty. It was so bad we decided to watch Frosty the Snowman a second time. I loved The Little Drummer Boy when I was little, but the quality of this DVD was so poor I wouldn't watch it again. This came w/ a music CD too (it's very pathetic...sounds like it's made for kids, but thankfully kids don't like it, because it's torture to listen to). I recommend checking out the prices of the first 3 movies individually, before buying this.

I find it extremely hard to believe that in this day and age with all the technical expertise for restorations of classics no one bothered to restore these to their pristine condition. C'mon people!!! How tough is it to get a good master copy or at least dust off the one you are using. One thing about DVD. It sure shows off all the dust and dirt and white fibers.
Also it is apparent that the scenery is always changing colors throughout the movies; like the copy they used was sitting in the trunk of a car in the desert for a couple of years before they found it for this collection. Holy smokes. If they can restore old Charlie Chaplin dissolving nitrite films to pristine condition why not these???!!!! I am disappointed that these classics that we grew up with and loved have been so poorly prepared and transfered to dvd. I love the movies. I hate the condition.

The actual shows themselves are wonderful! These are the Christmas classics that I grew up with and it's great to watch them anytime you want without the commercials and annoying channel logos. However, the transfer to DVD is absolutely horrible. There is so much film grain and dirt it is at times distracting. You would think that they take these wonderful classics and remaster the video, but no such luck. Still worth the purchase, but I wish they would have done a nicer transfer.

Christmas is a magical time of the year. The Rankin-Bass Original Television Christmas Classics add more warmth to the fire that is the holidays. Born in 1985 I am nearly 20 years shy of the first time these classics were televised. But I still remember seeing them as a child on TV during the season and falling in love with them. These are a must for the holidays!
