The NEW Very Merry Christmas Songs

"In the 1980s Disney released Disney's Sing Along Songs: Very Merry Christmas Songs on VHS. This program featured Christmas songs with scenes from Disney cartoons on screen along with the words, often highlighted by a Mickey Mouse head. It lasted 30 minutes and had the following songs- Deck The Halls, Up On The Housetop, Joy To The World, Let It Snow, Sleigh Ride, Winter Wonderland, Here Comes Santa Claus (At Disneyland), Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, Jingle Bells, Silent Night and We Wish You A Merry Christmas.In 2002, Disney released Disney's Sing Along Songs: Very Merry Christmas Songs on DVD. Unlike what the ... Editorial Review states, this version lasts 54 minutes, and not just 30 minutes. This new DVD edition features the same songs from the VHS version, along with some additions. These include- a new version of Jingle Bells, Toyland, All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth, The Best Christmas Of All, White Christmas, Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree, Jingle Bell Rock, As Long As There's A Christmas and Seasons Of Giving.This program on DVD is just great for the children just as it was on VHS so I do recommend it. The special features which include a Words Of The Season Vocabulary Game, a Very Merry Musical Game and Create-A-Card Activity are also great fun for the children and very appropriate for this kind of DVD.Buy Disney's Sing Along Songs: A Very Merry Christmas and have a very merry Christmas!!"

The VHS is great, but the DVD is NOT!

"I have owned the VHS version of this Sing Along ever since it came out over ten years ago and I have loved it. It is one of my favorite holiday videos, particularly the Wooden Soldiers on Parade song. I loved the VHS so much I decided to buy it on DVD. The reason I am giving the DVD 1 star is because it is very different and much worse than the original VHS, and I wish I had known this before I bought it. There is talking in between all the songs (unlike the VHS version which has a smooth transition between songs) which spoils the continuity and the video as a whole. There are also many additional songs which do not live up to the original songs' quality. They are just fillers and detract greatly from the video. The DVD also has changed the Wooden Soldiers song to a more modern version which isn't half as good. I am extremely dissappointed that Disney did not just leave this wonderful video as it was. This DVD has ruined the beauty of the original VHS. My advice is get the VHS version and skip the DVD!"

Good Old Fashioned Christmas Fun!

"I recently bought this video for my 3 year old and he watched it over and over and over (although I think I have the 2002 release). The Disney characters sing all the true classic christmas songs and the animation is wonderful. The words appear at the bottom of the screen, so even I was able to fine tune my holiday yule vocabulary! The ending is absolutely spectacular and includes integration of most of the Disney film characters. I really enjoyed watching this video as well."
