3.0 out of 5 stars Nice, fuzzy an sentimental, December 23, 2004

Ok. This forgotten Christmas special features the voices of Tommy Smothers and Barbara Feldon as two bears in a mythical bear world, and it's Tommy's character who longs to find out about this so-called "Christmas" that he heard about once. The problem is all bears fall into hibernation in this bear world, and can never really find out what this strange "Christmas" is.

Not a bad seasonal special from the early seventies that deserves to find additional life on DVD. Especially since it's no longer telecast regularly, and hasn't shown up on the cable channels recently.

It may not be in the same league as the Grinch or Charlie Brown, but it definitely deserves to get a second chance.

Nice. Warm. Fuzzy.

Sincerely,

JThree

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Childhood Memory, November 27, 2004

This review is from: Bear Who Slept Through Christmas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I remember seeing this as a child (I'm 33 now) and thought perhaps it would be on DVD. I see that it is only avl used through Amazon. I know it's not Amazon's fault and used is better than it not being avl at all.... I remember this being a very sweet and gentle story of a bear trying to avoid sleeping through Christmas as he makes his way to the city. Great memory! The older I get the more I cherish those times.

I do not own this particular video, but I do remember watching it several times as a child. It was a cute tale about a little cub that wanted to know what Christmas is all about, even though he was supposed to be hibernating.
