HELP! me please

Post by tlouise »

I have been stumped for over a year now. I had a vhs as a kid that was a compilation of Christmasy shorts. I've been able to name a few (maybe all) of the ones I specifically remember, but cannot find any record of such a vhs/DVD. Can someone maybe help me, or maybe even know which vhs I'm talking of.
The shorts that I have been able to find and name are:
(1948) Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer-cartoon
(1936) Christmas Comes but Once a Year-cartoon
( ? ) The Night Before Christmas-live b&w
(1945/
1935) Christmas Toyshop (Ye Older Toyshop)live/cartoon
(1932) The Snowman-cartoon
(1945) A Christmas Dream-cartoon
(1934) Jack Frost

Please please please help me! This is a piece of my childhood I would love to have back.

This isn't a question about a movie; it's a question about a collection of movies on a VHS, and whether it was ever commercially released. (For all we know, this was a specific VHS compiled by a friend or family member of yours)

Regardless of the answer, I can tell you with absolute certainty that it is no longer commercially available. Why not just make a DVDrip or compilation of all those cartoons, since you know each one?

He's not sure if it's all of them. He said that in the OP. He probably wants to see the original to see which (if any) he forgot. Also, some old VHS tapes had commercials on them. Maybe he wants to see the "extras" like that he's forgotten.

Wow, impressive. Didn't realize Amazon listed VHS's; I was wrong.

Afternoon,

I was replacing my last VHS I've been holding onto and I have slowly been hunting down every movie. This is one of the movies I own. I wanted you to know if you search in Amazon Prime Video, type in Christmas Classics it has 1 hour & 30 min of the VHS classics on their digital platform to buy for 9.99. For the the other 1 hour & 30 min they have the remaining individual classic episodes to buy or at least watch if some can't be bought. The one below is missing 7 classics but has 14 out of 21. I bought the digital version to share with my daughter

Christmas Cartoons: 14 Christmas Cartoon Classics - 2 Hours of Holiday Favorites. Check it out now on Prime Video!

I really hope you see this post reply.

Enjoy,

Katie Monique O'Donnell
