This truly is one of the Christmas Specials I cherished not only as a child but as an adult as well. It went forgotten in my mind until a couple of years ago when I started my collection of Christmas movies to get me into the "spirit". It was a little costly ($50) because I had to special order it but I definitely think it is a must have for anyone who remembers it from their childhood. Not only is the animation fantastic but is great for the whole family and holds true to the Christmas spirit. Great songs and also quite funny. The only downside to this special is the sound quality ( original stereo from TV broadcast and the fact it is only 24 minutes long. All in all a great collector's item.
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!
Finally a Christmas special that doesn't inspire a gag reflex. Well done animation and story that makes you just want to wassail. The camels really rock as do the California Raisins. Music is original with redone Christmas favorites. Find the kids and a big lump of clay and enjoy! (along with some waffles:)
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.
