Customer Rating:
Summary: Anxiously awaiting a DVD release of this classic!
Comment: I can't wait to share it with my husband and my children who have never seen it. Husband thought I was hallucinating when I told him about it and couldn't find it online.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Delightful, motivational, and entertaining!
Comment: I rate this film 5-stars because the animation is spectacular and is an excellent family film to watch, during the Christmas season.
Rankin/Bass Productions made a winner with this delightful Christmas film.
Of course anything with Rankin/Bass on it is almost always a good thing!
A DVD version needs to be released.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Christmas through the eyes of a child
Comment: This is a truly unusual cartoon, by today's standards. It is less concerned with what one may get from Christmas than what one may give. It brings home the true meaning of the holiday, yet is still festive and entertaining.
Take home this classic treasure, and you'll look on giving with a whole new attitude. It will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside!
Customer Rating:
Summary: How About A DVD?
Comment: The First Christmas Snow is a cute and touching Christmas special from Rankin and Bass and features Angela Lansbury as the voice of a nun who helps take care of a little blind shepherd boy and though this is shown every year on The Fox Family Channel (It was show about two or three times so far this December of 2005) I wish it would be transferred to DVD!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Should be on DVD!
Comment: This is a very good Christmas movie for your collection. ABC Family rarely shows it anymore, so if you can get a copy, consider yourself fortunate. The story is a good one for the family. It is typical Rankin-Bass work - classic!
Like many of the Rankin-Bass specials, I am hoping that this show will be made available on DVD.
