Description: Get ready to celebrate this warm and wonderful time of year and sing along with the Christmas carols you love best! Plus, join in a jolly chorus of new holiday sing alongs -- featuring your favorite Disney characters! Learning the lyrics is easy and fun because the words appear right on the screen. Whether you're having a party, starting a brand-new family tradition, or simply getting into the Yuletide spirit, Disney's VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS SING-ALONG SONGS brings the gift of music and laughter home for the holidays!
Amazon.com: While most of Disney's Sing-Along titles are compilations of theme songs from movies, here is a musical collection presented for the sole purpose of celebrating Christmas. The holiday video oozes with merriment as it blends traditional carols and seasonal favorites with Disney's unique brand of quality animation and beloved characters. Mickey Mouse opens the 30-minute program with an original song, "From All of Us to All of You," while Chip and Dale scamper around the Christmas tree. "Deck the Halls" will never sound the same after hearing Donald Duck's rendition, and even Santa gets in on the animated action as he plunges down the chimney in "Up on the Housetop." As a reverent reminder of the Christ-child's birth, Disneyland Children's Sing-Along Chorus harmonizes "Silent Night" and "Joy to the World." Especially captivating is this latter tune, accompanied by hundreds of animated fairies dancing through a snow-covered forest before they transform into glistening stars. Lest we forget this is Disney, all 13 songs add cameo appearances by favorite characters Jiminy Cricket, Bambi, Minnie, and many more. Nostalgia reigns as Bing Crosby lilts "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" while plenty of snowy shenanigans from Mickey and Goofy remind viewers why Disney characters are so endearing. If Disney is tooting its own horn (and it does through a couple minutes of live-action footage from Disneyland's Magic Kingdom), it is discreet. The real star of this sing along is the spirit of Christmas, alive in full measure. --Lynn Gibson
This is not what you think it is How can you call this "Very Merry Christmas" and not have that song on here? Lynn Gibson must have imagined "From all of us to all of you" being on this DVD, or she didn't actually watch it before reviewing, because that song is not on the DVD. The description also makes it sound like it has the classic Disney Christmas cartoons on here, but in reality there are only short clips of the cartoons from Jiminy Cricket's Christmas special (apparently not available on DVD) set to newly-sung Christmas songs. This was a huge disappointment and definitely not what we were hoping for.
nostalgia I used to watch this video when i was a kid. I bought it mostly for nostalgic reasons for my music class. I will be showing this to my young music students who have trouble singing on the beat without staring at the text. The disney pictures are lovely, and the singing on the video is pretty good. lots of children singing, which is always encouraging for the little ones. (they can do it too.) all in all, a good, safe buy for a young one.
Love Love Love This DVD Our son loves this DVD and has ever since the first time he viewed it. I love it too but more for the winter wonderland scenes in between the songs. It is a really beautiful and gets you in the holiday mood.
A Christmas must have My 3, 5, & 7 year old love this DVD. We have been watching it every year since my oldest was a baby. It just doesn't feel like Christmas until we have watched this & we watch it from Thanksgiving until Christmas. This is a Christmas must have.
VHS- Great, DVD- Not... I completely agree that they really messed this one up. The original was charming and heart warming, but the new one is...well, a little creepy. I think the voiceover reminds me of The Nightmare Before Christmas, which is a great film, but not at all what this video was about. The new songs don't flow well, and the differences in animation are jarring at best. I really can't see why they changed it at all, except maybe to lengthen it. I just shelved my DVD and ordered another VHS to replace my old one. I don't think the DVD wil get pulled out anytime soon....
