Nonsense! It just incorporates Groundhog's Day into the beginning. It's a winter movie more than anything, I suppose, but I grew up watching it along with all the other Rankin/Bass specials, so I guess that makes it as Christmasy as anything.

although I still think it is a Groundhog's Day special, I will agree that it is somewhat winter oriented -- mostly about the end of winter though

how do you feel about the Rankin/Bass stop-motion special ""Rudolf and Frosty's Christmas in July" -- is it a Christmas DVD too?

btw, Rankin/Bass didn't do claymation

Yeah, I mean stop-motion by claymation, my bad. Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July is a tough one for me. I usually end up watching it at Christmas, just because it seems too weird to remove Christmas characters and put them into another season.

Speaking of the 1979 Rankin/Bass Jack Frost, does anyone here have it on DVD? If so, is it the Front Row or Delta studio release? I got the Front Row release from eBay and the quality is of TV standard, at best. The video is filled with artifacts and grain and the audio sounds a little muted. I'm wondering if it's like that on all the releases?

I have it on DVD, but I am not sure which release it is. I'll try to dig it out this weekend and see; I think it is packed away with my Groundhog Day decorations. However, even if I have a different version than you, since I only have the one version, it might be hard for me to compare the quality.

Thanks, Rebel, I'd appreciate that. It's ok if you can't compare, just tell me if the quality totally blows on your's, and that will be enough.

I just added one more to my Christmas dvd collection.
Miracle on 34th Street (The Original One). I loved that movie but I might be a little bias because I absolutely love Natalie Wood.

I just got the original television christmas classics collection that looks like a red book and has the rankin/bass holiday specials.

I bought that set. I love it. The dvds are beautiful transfers.

I doubt they're different from the Rankin/Bass DVDs that have been around for years. Some of them looked quite good for their age and roots, but "The Little Drummer Boy" showed lots of wear-and-tear, I thought.

Here's my list. It took awhile because part of them were en route when I first saw this thread.

Charlie Brown's Christmas
I Want A Dog For Christmas Charlie Brown
Garfield's Christmas (from Garfield's Holidays)
Mickey's Christmas Carol (Treasures)
The Santa Clause Widescreen Special Edition (still en route)
It's A Wonderful Life
Nightmare Before Christmas ( it counts dangit)
White Christmas
Christmas Story (you'll shoot your eye out)
Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer
Santa Clause Is Coming to Town
Little Drummer Boy
Frosty the Snowman
Frosty Returns

I recently added the Robbie The Reindeer twin pack (Hooves of Fire and the Legend of the Lost Tribe)

I'm thinking of adding Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas to my collection next week.

Not that much, I must say. Wow, I'm a bit of a humbugger, aren't I?
