Twas the Night Before Christmas

I would like to see real Rankin Bass themed extras!
Rankin Bass presents "Twas the Night before Christmas" This delightful Christmas special is based on the poem by Clement Moore adapted and written for the show by Jerome Coopersmith and produced by Arthur Rankin Jr.It features charming songs by Maury Laws and lyrics by Jules Bass. Some of the most memorable songs are, "Even a Miracle Needs a Hand" and "Calling Santa," among others.

There is a reading of the poem in the beginning of the show and when it gets to the part of "..not a mouse was stirring," Father Mouse played by George Gobel catches us up on the events at hand. That being the hope that everything will turn out right in Junctionville and Santa will still visit and everyone can be happy again. Of course I could tell you all the details but you're better off watching it unfold yourself as to not spoil it if you haven't seen it before.

Now on to this deluxe edition at hand. On the special alone I would give this show 5 stars but being this is a remastered...

I agree with SUPERDAVE80s...
I gave this 5 stars for two reasons....they issued it with a nice cover (Although, I would have used the PAUL COKER, JR. lettering for the logo) AND they put the RANKIN/BASS logo (Drawn by my friend Patrick Owsley and taken from my first book)! BRAVO for that! Now, SUPERDAVE80s is right...where is the content? They actually removed FROSTY'S WINTERWONDERLAND from the disc we had before and put nothing on here for extras? I am sure WARNER BROS has the money to do these things correctly and put nice documentaries on all the discs issued. They should all actually be put into one big box set and they would make tons of money BUT these are the people that are putting COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG season one out instead of SECRET SQUIRREL and ATOM ANT???!!!! Enough said!

My favorite Christmas show
This is a classic and the songs are fantastic. The DVD is a great purchase because the one they show every year on ABC family leaves out the song "Give Your Heart a Try" to fit in a couple extra commercials.
