VHS Movie Reviews of Life & Adventures of Santa Claus [VHS]

Movie Review: DVD... The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus....
Summary: 5 Stars

Please... to whom it may concern... If you're reading this and care anything about the Millions of lives around the world that could be saved by putting this Classic Treasure onto DVD, Please do so NOW..... lol

Would really love to see a DVD version of this.... Perhaps the people at Rankin/Bass are reading and could make us all happy...

Movie Review: I hope they create a DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars

As a child, I loved watching this movie every Christmas. Unfortunately, I no longer have a VCR. I wish they would put this film on DVD. I think it would really sell!

Movie Review: A Must See for Kids & the Young at Heart
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a very interesting, unique tale about Santa Claus. This is not about Christmas so much. Frank Baum (author of Wizard of Oz) wrote a story about the Life of Santa and how he came to be the iconic,immortal Old Kris Kringle we know today. As for it being scary as others listed, there are much more scary things for children to catch on the tube. There's only a part or two that are gloomy and if you're concerned then watch the movie with your kids to be reassuring. But the movie is about Good and Evil and I think it's obvious who will come out on the top of things. To sum it up, it's a fun, fantasy version of Santa Claus that very few people know of.

It took me forever to remember this film from my childhood. I had remembered loving it as a very small child and was delighted to rewatch it and add to my collection for my future children to watch. [...]

Movie Review: Yet another holiday season passes and NO DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

The Adventures of Santa Clause was my favorite Rankin-Bass holiday special and I have dvd's of them all but THIS one--WHEN is Warner Bros going to get around to a DVD release? Let's not hear about how pagan or irreverent it would be either--that doesn't wash anymore with the current holiday enteretainment out there for the public indulgence. No air time on TV makes me jonesing for a DVD of this delightful show more now than when I was a kid.

Movie Review: Another Warner Bros Boxed set of Holiday Classics??
Summary: 5 Stars

I heard a rumor that WB was going to put out another DVD BOXED SET of Christmas "lost" classics - ALL Stop motion Rankin/Bass!!
1. Life and Adventures of Santa Claus
2. Pinocchio's Christmas
3. The First Christmas
4. The Little Drummer Boy: Book 2
5. Leprechaun's Christmas Gold
But what about Jack Frost?? Hopefully that will be included too. Seems to me that Jack Frost should be included in this set. Wow do I ever hope this is true! I'll stand in line for this Boxed set!!

UPDATE: A new WB Box set is out (OCT 08), BUT...it is the same as last year's except that Leprechaun's Christmas and Pinocchio's Christmas, along with a traditional animation of Stingest man in town has been added. Jack Frost just got released as a seperate DVD, not part of the new Box set. Yes folks, only three are still missing of the R&B Stop motion Christmas classics....(1, 3, and 4 above)

Summary of Life & Adventures of Santa Claus [VHS]

This bizarre, pagan take on the Santa Claus legend, which is based on a story by L. Frank Baum (The Wizard of Oz), was produced and directed by Rankin and Bass, the reigning kings of the Christmas special (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer), using their brand of puppet animation. In the forest of Burzee, the immortals gather to discuss the fate of Santa Claus. Found when he was an abandoned baby by the Great Ak (a wizard with big wooden horns on his head), the boy was named Claus because that means "little one" in the language of the forest. Raised by immortals and knowing nothing but peace and harmony, the adolescent Claus is taken on a tour of the mortal world by the Great Ak, and he discovers the world is rife with misery and injustice. This is when he decides he will dedicate his life to making kids happy, and he learns the best way to do this is to give them toys. After years of service, the immortals must decide whether or not to give him eternal life. Indeed, this is a very strange Christmas tale. --Andy Spletzer
