A Charlie Brown Christmas [Posted on 2008-12-17]
A must see classic for all ages. Watching Charlie Brown has become a family tradition for our family. The new remastered deluxe edition is very clear and includes a second short Charlie Brown Christmas story that is O.K. but not as good as the original.
"That's What Christmas Is All About Charlie Brown" [Posted on 2008-12-23]
I was in the eighth grade back in 1965 when 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' special debuted on network television and captured the hearts of American viewers in unprecedented fashion. It became an instant Christmas classic which has stood the test of time and is as popular today as it ever was. It's kind of an amazing accomplishment for a cartoon, especially when you consider how much our culture has changed since the naive sixties. There's something special about the childhood innocence and purity of spirit instilled in this production that touches everyone in a meaningful way. It just doesn't get any better than this.
Improved picture & packaging - What about the sound? [Posted on 2008-12-25]
A lifelong fan of this Christmas special, I give the content 5 stars, as usual. And this new issue is a delight to own. The package is gorgeous with its sparkly sleeve. The remastered picture is cleaner than the previous issue on DVD. The sound, however, has some trouble. For one, the synch is noticeably off. Watching, I thought something wasn't quite right. It wasn't until Schroeder and Lucy's Jingle Bells scene that I was sure there was a problem. I even dug up my old VHS copy to verify. When an annoyed Schroeder plays the toy-piano version of Jingle Bells, the old copies have a perfectly synched presentation, with each movement of his hand resulting in one note, dead on. The new version's synch is off to an alarming and annoying degree. Also, I was more impressed with the audio quality on the VHS copy. In short, the best part of this new issue is the packaging. If you want one copy for watching, go with the older issue. If you are a collector, get this one for the package and keep the older version for viewing.
A classic [Posted on 2009-01-06]
A delightful classic, beautifully restored. The bonus "making of" video is also well worth watching.
An all time favorite. [Posted on 2009-01-06]
I was so excited that Amazon had this series on Charlie Brown.
I have been a Charlie Brown fan for many years.
The quality of these tapes were excellent, and my grandchildren will enjoy Charlie Brown as much as I do.
