‘The Original Christmas Specials’ now available on Blu-Ray
Like many people growing up, I remember watching these specials on TV as a kid. They are timeless stories with animation way ahead of their time. Kids have enjoyed watching them for generations, and now you can own them in The Original Christmas Specials Collection. It is out now on Blu-Ray and has something everyone can enjoy. I was able to get a review copy and this is what I thought of this collection.

It was a real joy watching The Original Christmas Specials. It had been years since I had watched some of these films. I forgot how well done they were, and how touching their messages still are to this day. ‘The Animagic World or Rankin and Bass’ took a long look at how these two guys got their start, and had lots of amazing interviews. ‘Restoring the Puppets of Rudolph’ told the tale of how some animators were able to find two original puppets from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and how they got restored. If you are a fan of these tales then this is a collection you will want to pick up this holiday season.
The Original Christmas Specials Collection is available now on Blu-Ray and DVD. You can order this collection at Walmart and Best Buy.
