Hanna-Barbera Christmas Classics Collection

Great Movies

NI SCRATCHES WORKS GREAT 👍 GREAT PRICE 👍

My main reason for getting this DVD was for "A Christmas Story" and "Casper's First Christmas". "The Town That Santa Forgot" was nice, although I found that it really wasn't up to the level of the other two cartoons (Story and Casper were both produced in the 1970's, while Santa is from the early 1990's).I remember seeing "Caspers First Christmas" on TV back in the 80's, and then it seemed to disappear from TV in the 90's and 2000's. "A Christmas Story" I only saw on TV once back in the early-1990's, and I was glad that I taped it back then since it's become a yearly favorite. Of course now that I have it on DVD I don't need to watch the worn-out VHS copy anymore.However, its too bad that these Classics were not issued in the usual retail manner, since most people don't realize that they are out. And of course, not everybody's DVD player can playback DVD-R's. (Warner's Archive program uses DVD-R's, so some machines will not read them; also machines that are wearing out will not play the DVD-R's correctly as they need a stronger laser to reflect back at the disc correctly, and if your DVD player did play DVD-R's, but now won't or is skipping on them, then it is time for a new DVD player.)5 stars.

I was really only purchasing this for "Casper's First Christmas" as it features Casper, the Friendly Ghost with virtually all of the classic Hanna-Barbera characters like Yogi Bear and Quick Draw McGraw. Though this isn't the best stuff from H-B or of Casper, it is highly watchable considering the time it was made in the late 70s."A Christmas Story" was a great surprise. I had seen it when it originally aired, but totally forgot about it. It seems to be a generic special that originally aired in 1972, but also seems like a training ground for the upcoming H-B feature film "Charlotte's Web" which came out in 1973, as the characters are more realistic and fluid than what was typical for the time at H-B."The Town Santa Forgot" I have never seen before as it was made in the 80s. Even though I love cartoons, I tended to steer away from the inferior ones by this time as I was getting to be an adult and better stuff was now available on TV and home video. It's surprisingly good, with Dick Van Dyke narrating. I can't say it's excellent but it's highly watchable.Overall, the three are a welcome addition to your holiday special shelf.

Sweet

Great Christmas classics from Hanna-Barbera. Only complaint Warner Bros removed the Hanna-Barbera logos which is a disappointment...

I purchased this DVD solely for ‘Casper’s First Christmas’ and was not disappointed. It was one of my favourite Christmas specials from my childhood and brought me back. The other two were a bonus.
