Overall, the entire DVD is a little clunky--the menu screen was a little old-fashioned and took my Dad a second to get used to. We thoroughly enjoyed finally getting to watch "Claymation Christmas" again. The other features were not quite as memorable, but a nice bonus since the DVD was under $9. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to watch the Christmas special again.

This collection of Will Vinton's claymation holiday specials is great for kids and adults alike. The Christmas celebration, which is worth the purchase on it's own, is great for the entire family; with a blend of classic christmas carols, delightful animation, and silly comedy, it makes a perfect choice for family viewing near the holiday. All three animations take on a personality of their own, which can be entertaining or disappointing, depending on your taste. The Easter and Halloween specials both star an inventive and ambitous pig set on making a profit by overthrowing the holiday. Both are set up as somewhat of a dark comedy, though the Easter special still brings enough light-hearted laughs to draw in all audiences alike. The Halloween special makes more of an attempt to make it's weird monsters and undead characters seem silly in a style that is almost Tim Burton-esque, but may be too scary for children. All in all, Will Vinton's Claymation Christmas makes this DVD a must buy for families, the young at heart, and anyone who has wondered what ever happened to the California Raisins.Read full review
Claymation Christmas has become a family tradition... right up there with the Peanuts Christmas Special... it's on the short list of must-watch TV entertainment.

The main reason for purchase was the Christmas celebration segment. We had this on vhs many years ago and finally got around to finding it on dvd. The creative animation and stories are priceless…a true Christmas classic

Years ago I saw the Easter pig when it first was released. It is loaded with visual and verbal puns and, though it is 'low brow' humor, I wanted to see it again. It was worth the money just for that. I figure - 10 to 15 years from now, I'll watch it again. What surprised me was the Christmas one. The music was GOOD! Most of the time when people try to "modernize" Christmas carols - they mess them up terribly and make them sound awful. While obviously other people will dissagree since everyone's musical tastes are different - what suprised me is that all 6 in our family agreed - probably the first time ever on musical preferences! So .. our whole family (Mom, Dad and 4 teenage children) have decided that THIS Christmas video will be made part of our Christmas tradition - starting with this coming up Christmas (2007). As far as the halloween one. Oh well. It is included free on the DVD. If you are the type who will not watch the second one if the 1st is not great - don't watch the Halloween one first. If you want to watch them from worst to best, I'd recommend Halloween then Easter, then Christmas. Or just watch them in the coming year at their appropriate seasons. But don't ignore the other two if you watch Halloween first.Read full review

Carols funny and serious, all in great productions with wonderful stop-action Claymation and beautiful backgrounds. I'm so sorry it's no longer on TV - it deserves to be part of anyone's Christmas celebration.
