A X-mas wish for 2003 WB.......May I please have "A Christmas Carole" 1938 version. (1 Viewer)

[Jeff_HR]

I would make a wish for Christmas 2003 of you WB. Could you please release the 1938 M-G-M version of "A Christmas Carole". Please include the extras from the M-G-M Laserdisc + any others that are available & appropriate. I & my family would thank you. Merry X-mas to you at WB!!!

 

[Patrick McCart]

I've only seen clips from one of the "MGM Parade" TV shows, but it looks like a fine adaptation of the classic story.

What were the extras on the laserdisc set?

 

[Jeff_HR]

The extras on the LD are:

• 1. Jackie Cooper's Christmas Party (1931 M-G-M Short)
  2. Peace on Earth (1939 M-G-M Cartoon)
  3. The Night Before Christmas (1941 Tom & Jerry cartoon)
  4. Judy Garland Sings "Silent Night" (1937 promotional film)

Of all the Christmas Carole movies this is my favorite.

 

[Larry Bevil]

Put me down for a copy of this classic.

Given that WB has been so good with their catalog titles this year, I'm giving this thread a bump.

 

[Chuck L]

Oh yes!

I'm going to repeat my plea to WB. May we have the 1938 M-G-M version of "A Christmas Carole" for 2004 or 2005. PLEASE.

The extras on the LD are:
1. Jackie Cooper's Christmas Party (1931 M-G-M Short)

Looked up A Christmas Carol (1938) on the IMDb web site and the "Full Cast and Crew" page doesn't list Jackie Cooper as being in the movie. Did he have a part?

I believe that this short was just added as it was Xmas related. As far as I am aware Cooper is not in the film.

 

[Larry Bevil]

Just double-checked my laserdisc and noted the credits do not show Jackie Cooper as being in the movie A Christmas Carol, 1938. I also do not recall seeing Jackie Cooper in the film.

 

[Jeff_HR]

If you are listening WB, PLEASE release this!!!!

 

[ScottR]

Also, please include the trailer featuring Lionel Barrymore.

 

[Larry Bevil]

Just for info, this version of A Christmas Carol is scheduled to be shown on Turner Classic Movies on December 23rd.

 

[Jeff_HR]

Thanks anyways but I don't need to watch it on TCM. I'll watch my Laserdisc!

 

[Jeff_HR]

Well I'm bumping this up & hoping that someone at WB can champion this film & get it out on DVD this year or next.

 

[Jamin Fowler]

On the laserdisc of "A Christmas Carol" they include the Technicolor print of Judy Garland singing Silent Night for the MGM Christmas trailer - and I think this is the only place that you can get it in color comercially!! So I hope that Warner releases that with it as well!!

 

[Jeff_HR]

I'd love to see all the extras from the LD on a DVD edition plus a commentary & other extras.

Given WB's affinity for boxed sets of catalog releases these days, how about this:
THE WB CLASSIC CHRISTMAS COLLECTION:
A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1938, with the Lionel Barrymore trailer as an extra)
CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT (1945)
A HOLIDAY AFFAIR (1949)
--plus a bonus 4th disc containing classic Christmas-themed shorts from the Warner/MGM/RKO catalogs (though some of these could easily go on the movie discs):
* COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON (1930, Vitaphone short)
* THE CHRISTMAS PARTY (1931, with Jackie Cooper)
* ALIAS ST. NICK (1935, animated)
* THE PUPS CHRISTMAS (1936, Harmon-Ising cartoon)
* MGM CHRISTMAS TRAILER (1937, Judy Garland)
* THE CAPTAIN'S CHRISTMAS (1938, MGM Captain & The Kids cartoon)
* PEACE ON EARTH (1939, Harmon-Ising cartoon)
* BEDTIME FOR SNIFFLES (1940, Chuck Jones-directed cartoon)
* HOLIDAY GREETINGS 1941 (Lewis Stone)
* THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1941, Tom & Jerry cartoon)
* ONE HAM'S FAMILY (1943, Tex Avery-directed cartoon)
* MGM CHRISTMAS TRAILER (1945, Frank Sinatra)
* STAR IN THE NIGHT (1945, directed by Don Siegel)
* GIFT WRAPPED (1952, Sylvester & Tweety cartoon)
