Can someone point me to a link to order the restored Rudolph and/or box sets?

I notice deepdiscountdvd.com has at least 3 separate sets. Here's the one that has the most value.....Eric Huffstutler said:Can someone point me to a link to order the restored Rudolph and/or box sets?

Interesting. I've always wondered why Santa Claus is Comin' to Town has been sort of forgotten, but maybe ABC is trying to bring it back. Hopefully they'll show it again this year (unedited, of course) because it's been a holiday staple for myself since I was a kid. It'd be nice to see it get that kind of universal recognition.ScottR said:I mean ABC. I don't remember what all was edited, but most of the songs were taken out as well as much of the story! I believe it was edited from 50 mins. down to 37 or so!
I agree. For a good long time in the 80s and early 90s, I feel like the show wasn't aired at all (it could have been and I missed it) but it definitely didn't get the marketing push that Rudolph got (and still gets) every year. 'Santa' was my favorite of these specials as a kid, and I still think it is the best and most clever among them.BrettGallman said:Interesting.

I just noticed Cricket is available separately. I'll add it to my list. I need to get The Year Without a Santa Claus as well. I always thought it was weird.ScottR said:Cricket on the Hearth is a lovely cel-animated special featuring the voices of Danny and Marlo Thomas and Ed Ames. It has grown on me. The best Rudolph dvd is actually the 2000 release. Yes the video and audio is the same as the current version but I prefer the "Rankin/Bass Present" on the cover. This was the only time that they were credited with Rudolph on the front of a packaging.
Thanks for that. It looks like ABC Family is showing a lot of my favorites at a time that's good for me this year.Dave Berthiaume said:FYI, here is this year's schedule of holiday specials:

Actually, I answered my own question from here:WadeM said:Does Warner own these:
The First Christmas (1975)
The Little Drummer Boy, Book II (1976)
The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (1985)
If so, I wonder what, if any, their plans are for them if not in this new set..
