Summary: At Last
Review: Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I try and get all the classic cartoons I can find. I absolutely LOVE these two cartoons, when I heard they were out on DVD, and better yet out together I just had to get it. If you love old fashion Christmas tales you'll fall in love with these two shows. Frosty has all the original voices from the first show. They have been a childhood favorite of mine, and now I can share it with my own kids.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One word...
Review: FINALLY!!! These two have always been among our seasonal favorites, and my VHS copies were down to their last. Rankin & Bass rule the Holidays!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Skip Frosty, watch Twas the Night Before Christmas
Review: Forget the Frosty show. If you want to see the best Frosty show, get the original "Frosty The Snowman" narrated by the late, great Jimmy Durante. The true gem in this DVD is getting to see "Twas The Night Before Christmas". This is one of my all time Xmas favorites. It ranks up there with the original Frosty, Rudolph the Ned Rosed Reindeer, Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, Year Without A Santa Claus, and Mr. Magoo's Christmas. Like those other shows, Twas the Night Before Christmas has some memorable songs like: "You wish and I'll worry, you play while I plan, we'll all do what's necessary, cause even a miracle needs a hand". Also, "Give up a little on the wonder why and give your heart a try". Lastly, "Christams chimes are calling Santa, Santa, every heart is calling Santa, Santa. Come on Kris Kringle, down the Milky Way." Enjoy this one and all the others.

Thank You Warners At lease somebody has a brain there. this will save me from having to watch those other crappy shows this season that can't hold a candle to rankin/bass shows that had a heart & actually a message.

So Please Do Yourself A favor & pick up a copy of this Wonderful Dvd. Live On Frosty & The Clock Maker of Twas The Night Before Christmas. The Message of These Two Shows is something that every child should hear.

Summary: Let Up A Little On The 'Wonder Why' & Give This DVD A Try
Review: This budget-priced DVD combines two holiday specials from the Rankin-Bass archives, both produced with traditional hand-drawn animation instead of their trademark stop-motion Animagic process. "Frosty's Winter Wonderland" features nightclub comic Jackie Vernon reprising his role as the warm-hearted snowman, and "Twas The Night Before Christmas" features George Gobel and Joel Grey in a heartwarming tale of a Christmas Eve miracle.
The two specials work well as a pair since they utilize similiar animation styles, and both use an underlying theme of love as a powerful force that changes the villain's cynical heart and turns him into a hero. Long-time fans of the Rankin-Bass specials will adore the sincere performances from the celebrity voice talents, especially the songs by Gobel and Grey.
This DVD will be treasured by anyone who longs for more innocent times when the world was a fun place to live. Watch it by yourself first so you can quietly shed a tear or two for your lost childhood, then share it with your children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Overlooked Christmas Classic
Review: Twas the Night Before Christmas was one of my favorite Christmas specials when I was a kid and it still is.

The story begins with a reading of Clement's The Night Before Christmas but creatures are stirring because they have learned that Santa is upset with their town and he isn't stopping to bring toys this year. The story is told jointly from a mouse/human perspective through a flashback to reveal why Santa is upset and how they hope to remedy the situation.

Other Christmas shows (such as Rudolph and Charlie Brown) have received more attention over the years but, in my estimation, Twas the Night Before Christmas belongs in the same lofty company. It's a great story and we got the DVD so our kids could enjoy the show too.
