Christmas Classics Gift Set

[StoogeFan1118]

Saw this at Costco I am going to have to go there and pick it up for $19.99 I do have my other set of these on blu but I can sell that to one of my cousins for the $19.99. Looks like an unplanned trip to Costo in the near future

So which store has the version with the extra movies?

[moviebuff75]

"The Little Drummer Boy" is missing sound effects on every version on digital media. The only version that is complete is the vhs. When they were remastering the special, they couldn't find the effects track. Hopefully when Dreamworks starts releasing these titles, they will find the tracks.

I bought this last year. Love it! My wife and I watched Rudolph and wrapped some presents two nights ago.

What kind of packaging does this set come in? Is it a slipbox with individual cases, like the Bourne boxset? Or what?

Actually, there are two versions. The original release was released on 10/12/10 with three cases housed in a slipbox. The second release was released on 11/4/12 with two cases housed in a slim slipbox.

What does the special set with the extra movies look like? How can you tell that it has those movies? And where is it available?

The audio glitch on the Rudolph Blu-ray happens during the song Silver and Gold when Sam sings "Everyone wishes for silver and gold.", the word "for" is not heard.

As for Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, judging by this box set, you guys are better off buying the Collector's Edition Blu-ray/DVD combo pack (cuz odds are the extras aren't on that new set).

Thanks for that. I must have missed it.

If you're still looking to pick up a copy you can pick it up new on Amazon right now for only $15.99. It's from a third party but is fulfilled through Amazon - so shipping is cheap, or free if you have a Prime membership. For $16 I couldn't pass on these warm, fuzzy, stop motion memories!

So for completeness sake -- there are 3 releases of this set now?

1st -- Slip Box with 3 cases/3discs with 4 features incl SD "Frosty Returns"

2nd -- same box design with same UPC, but smaller box with 2 disc, 2 cases with same 4 features

3rd -- slipbox with 2 cases, 2 discs, but with different design on rear cover and now containing the additional features -- Magoo HD and Drummer Boy HD and Cricket and Frosty Returns in Std Def? I can't make out the UPC, but this set so far has been seen mainly at Costco?

I know it isn't around Christmastime anymore, but I have to mention that I really enjoyed getting this box set. My family and I enjoyed sitting down and watching these old classics. Just wish they would have included something other than Frosty Returns. Just..."bleh".

The original release also included a bonus disc.

I can;t find anything about that -- was that a bonus Bluray or DVD disc or are you talking about the set with the CD (was that with
all the original 3 case copies or was that a store exclusive?)

I guess my original should have been phrased in the form of a question rather than a statement since I'm trying to figure out the
various sets -- my 9.99 groupon purchase was the 3 case original with no CD.

I have the original 3 case blu-ray edition and it came with a bonus CD of Christmas music. I bought it through Amazon and there was no mention of the CD being an exclusive. However, the spine of the box does say "Limited Keepsake Edition."

It was a CD soundtrack. And it wasn't a store exclusive.

[spawningblue]

So it's been confirmed the re-release includes all the extras from Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol Collector's Edition? Any pics of the menu screens, including the extras from each disc? Also, has anyone found this anywhere other then Costco? They aren't known to have store exclusives are they?

[WendyCR72]

One detail about this Box Set I have not seen here (maybe I missed it!) is that Rudolph has a long-missing scene reinserted in this set not seen, I guess, since the show's early airings with Yukon Cornelius coming across a peppermint mine towards the end. (I was told that this was a nod to York Peppermint Pattie, a sponsor back in the day; no idea if that's true.)

So, for me, it is worth that rare scene alone in terms of owning the set, since CBS still doesn't show the scene to this day.

Just received my set from the Groupon deal in the Movie Deals forum (now dead), and it is the original 3 case set and included the music CD!!! Came in excellent condition as well!
