Diagonaldi Very well executed
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
pmiller067 I was lucky enough to have done all of the music for this production. It was one of the most fun and rewarding projects I have ever worked upon.I am pleased to say that it was finally released on DVD. I am not thrilled to say that the audio quality of the DVD version is of very good quality. It sounds as if it was dubbed from an old mono soundtrack, and certainly does not hold up to even the original television dubs (and certainly not the original masters that I have).But that said, I truly enjoy seeing the comments, and feel very gratified that so many continue to name this special as one of their favorites. As many of my family members (including my two daughters) sang parts on this project, it is especially fun to see and hear again.There is talk of a 25th reunion of some of the cast, and perhaps even a concert of some of the music (including the record we did from this for Atlantic records). We'll see...In any case- thanks again for the kind comments.Patric J. Miller
stephanie406-1 I loved this movie as a child, and I've watched it every Holiday season it came on.Just wanted to inform everyone that IT IS AVAILABLE ON DVD! It was released September 2003. Check Amazon.com for "Claymation Christmas".According to the editorial review, the DVD includes the 3 Holiday specials (Halloween, Christmas, and Easter). They were aired between 1987 and 1992.Happy Claymation, everyone! I myself haven't bought it since I just discovered it was available online, but I definitely won't go another holiday without this classic in my collection!
lorbro313 This is a must-see-movie in our household. The clamation wonderfully animates classic Christmas Carols. It is full of humor and it enjoyable for all ages. We wore our tape into oblivion and it took me forever to find another copy.
imlanglois This is one of the great Christmas specials of all time. Our dinosaur hosts, Rex and Herb, take us through six "music videos" of different Christmas carols. Singing camels bring us "We Three Kings", Quasimodo conducts a symphony of living bells, one of whom just can't quite get it right, for "The Carol of the Bells", and there's much more.The humour is clever and cute, and as always, the animation is top-notch. Really revels in the fun of Christmas. I recommend it to anyone who loves the Christmas season and good animation.
