DreamWorks/Universal is releasing the Rankin/Bass Christmas Specials on DVD/Blu-ray again this October and if you're wondering if these are the same anniversary editions released a few years ago, surprisingly they're not! They'll be brand new deluxe editions with extras!

Courtesy of Amazon:


Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer:

• The Animagic World of Rankin/Bass

• Restoring the Puppets of Rudolph

• Reimagining Rudolph in 4D

• Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Attraction Film

• T.E.A.M. Rudolph and the Reindeer Games


Frosty the Snowman:

• The Animagic World of Rankin/Bass

• Original Pencil Test

• Commentary by Animation Historian Mark Evanier


Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town:

• The Animagic World of Rankin/Bass

• Commentary by Animation Historian Greg Ehrbar


And according to the listings, Rudolph and Frosty will have 5.1 AND Original 2.0 Mono (Santa Claus only has 5.1 listed though maybe they forgot to list that).

The 3 specials will be available on both formats seperately or in a box set which will also contain The Little Drummer Boy and Cricket on the Hearth:

Do note though, you might want to keep your anniversary editions from a few years ago anyway since they have some extras not ported over.

Anyway, do get these anyway since these are the editions of the classic Rankin/Bass specials we've been wanting for such a long time! Thanks again DreamWorks/Universal.
