with anchor bay discontinuing all their disney films, i thought i should pick up some of the more higher rated dvds before disney butchers them in a barebones P&S. this past week i ordered and picked up One Magic Christmas at my local Borders for only $12. after finishing it last night, i must say that the quality of the film on this dvd is extraordinary. i used to rent the VHS a lot, and the quality of the film was like glazed over (not to mention fullscreen) and the sound was always fuzzy; no matter what tape you watched. this dvd suprised me with a brand new 5.1 dolby digital track that was crisp and clear and the picture was vibrant, colorful, and almost completely flawless in its original aspect ratio (1.85:1). the film itself was one to watch every year as a traditional disney film with Steenburgen in perhaps her most natural and best performance i've seen. while the disc is barebones, the care and effort put into the film itself more than makes up for the lack of features.

but that's where my question comes in. on the back of the box, under the features it says that there is a theatrical trailer. this must be an easter egg, because i can't find it anywhere. if anyone has any information as to where to go to watch this trailer please let me know. or if it is simply not on there, please let me know as well........and why it is not there if you have any information. thanks, and if you have a chance, don't forget to watch this holiday disney film this year. it'll definitely put you in the mood for christmas.

Disney more than liley took it out at the last minute, like they did with Return to Oz. For Anchor bay releases, disney did not (for whatever reason) want their name or references to the disney name ANYWHERE on the DVD besides the movie itself. Pretty stupid.

Hey disneyfella, I love the film too. It's one of my favorites, and it's definitely been forgotten or overlooked by many.

Trailer isn't there, but like you, I was very pleased with the audio and video. I wrote a review of it here:
