RUDOLPH THE RED NOSE REINDEER / FROSTY THE SNOWMAN / SANTA IN SOUTH AFRICA

This magical Christmas collection features four classics including, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) Frosty the Snowman (1969) Santa Claus is Coming to Town (1970) The Little Drummer Boy (1968) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer:This classic 1964 television special featuring Rudolph and his misfit buddies set the standard for stop-motion animation for an entire generation before Tim Burton darkly reinvented it in the early 1990s. Burl Ives narrates as Sam the Snowman, telling and singing the story of a rejected reindeer who overcomes prejudice and saves Christmas one particularly blustery year. Along the way, he meets an abundance of unforgettable characters: his dentally obsessed elf pal Hermey; the affable miner Yukon Cornelius and his motley crew of puppies; the scary/adorable Abominable Snow Monster; a legion of abandoned, but still chatty, toys; and a rather grouchy Santa. Frosty the Snowman:Jimmy Durante narrates this Christmas story that is based on the song of the same name. To make up for the fact that her students are in school on Christmas Eve, the local schoolteacher hires the magician Professor Hinkle to entertain the kids. Unfortunately, he's not a very good magician. Frustrated in his attempt to pull a rabbit out of his hat, he throws it away in anger. Outside, the kids build a snowman, and when the hat blows onto it, it comes to life. Santa Claus is Coming to Town:Features the voice of Mickey Rooney as Santa Claus and is narrated by the enchanting Fred Astaire. The Little Drummer Boy:The classic story of the young, orphaned Drummer Boy who has no gifts to give the new-born baby Jesus except a song on his drum.
