Dear Guys:
I know it's still early for Christmas talk, but since my mother is putting out her holiday decorations in the next few days, perhaps I can re-start a discussion I bring up every year on different message boards.
What Christmas specials (that you've loved as a child) haven't make the transfer to digital yet?
There are a couple:
The 1971 Richard Williams version of A Christmas Carol. It won an Oscar for best short film, and re-cast Alastir Sim who portrayed the character in the 1951 British version. Loved the film, can't believe it hasn't come out to DVD yet. The VHS edition to this film already costs at least a hundred dollars on amazon. com and ebay.
The early seventies Australian version of A Christmas Carol, that was shown on Saturday afternoons on CBS, and sponsored by Kenner. Not so great version, but I loved it for nostaligic reasons.
Others?
