Depending on what you already own, this DVD collection is either the coolest thing ever or a huge disappointment. Everything here is an absolute classic and if you don’t have them already, then you definitely should. “Classic Christmas Favorites” is a convenient and affordable way to pick them all up at an affordable price.

The problem is that this set continues an unfortunate practice of re-selling old material with a splash of new material that is available no where else, meaning that people who bought the previous releases are forced to buy them all over again if they want the other films. There is no way to buy the new material separately
It basically repackages three previously released DVDs, Rudolph & Frosty’s Christmas in July, The Year Without a Santa Claus (Deluxe Edition)and Frosty’s Winter Wonderland/Twas the Night Before Christmas. These are the exact same disks that you would have received before, with even the disk cover art intact.

The new material is included on the “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” disk. This is an odd choice, as this is the only non-Rankin/Bass release and of course, this Dr. Seuss treasure has seen a variety of releases, including a recent 50th Birthday Deluxe Remastered Edition special edition. Tagged onto the disk are three Rankin Bass rarities, “The Leprechaun’s Christmas Gold”, “Pinocchio’s Christmas” and “The Stingiest Man in Town”. All three are making their first appearance on DVD, and they are really what most people will be buying this set for. It is great to have them released at last, but I would have preferred an individual DVD.
There are still a few Rankin/Bass Christmas specials that have not had a DVD release, and I fear this being the wave of the future. The same problem happened with the Popeye and Batman cartoons (also by Warner Bros) series until definitive collections were finally released. Warner Bros just doesn’t seem to get what fans want, and are more concerned with squeezing every possible dime out of their properties.
What I really want is a collection that gathers together all the Christmas specials together giving them the treatment they deserve, including putting the Rankin/Bass name up on top and giving them their due credit. That would make me really happy, even if it meant buying them for a third and final time.
It’s wonderful to see all these Christmas specials in one package, and particularly the three that were previously unreleased on DVD (”The Leprechauns’ Christmas Gold,” “Pinocchio’s Christmas,” and “The Stingiest Man In Town.”
NOW, as far as I know, there are only three Rankin/Bass Christmas specials not available on DVD: “The First Christmas,” “The Little Drummer Boy, Book II,” and “The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus.”
All of which are owned by Warner Bros. SO, why did Warner skimp out on us and not include these three as well?? PLUS, they simultaneously released a new deluxe edition of “Jack Frost,” which is awesome, but again, why didn’t they bother to put it into this boxed set? They could have EASILY fit those three other specials onto the same disc.
Of course, from a sales standpoint, the answer to all these questions is obvious: give the public a little more of what they want each holiday season, and they’ll just keep buying and rebuying ad infinitum. But this is seriously getting old, Warner. Why not just give us everything you’ve got at once, and stop being the REAL “stingiest man in town?”
Complaints aside, this is a wonderful set for anyone who doesn’t own any of these specials. If you own last year’s Christmas Television Favorites boxed set, you might want to hold out until next year when Warner is sure to pull another double, triple, fourple-dip on us. Hopefully then we’ll get those other three specials, plus Jack Frost, all in one big Christmas DVD collection.
