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!!

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!

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.

Before purchasing this video, I checked it out from my neighborhood Library. After watching it my two daughters loved it. I went and purchased it and within 2 days of watching it over and over again, they knew every song. I highly recommend!

This DVD has 20 of the all time favorite Christams Music for the whole family.

They are each complete with words that flash over colorful pictures and images from old, new and classic Disney animation and characters.

From the Fantasia to Beauty & The Beast to Mickey to Ariel. It closes with a great group singalong that ues all the characters and their voices togethr. It is segmented to skip songs or hear your favorites over and over.

The DVD also contains a game as well as a create your own greeting card section. Cute and really great for the really young ones to interact with thier parents.

A great DVD for the family to have around Christams time. Have fun. (12-2-03)

When this video came out, I was working at the Disney Store and our jumbo screen played the video clips on it over and over. I didn't think about it then, but in hindsight I realize that the Disney Company doesn't make videos like this anymore! (Can you imagine ~ Joy to the world!) I'm an active Christian and look for videos and music that include traditional Christmas carols. Now that I have a family of my own, I'm thrilled that my kids can sing along with this video some of the songs we sing in church every year. It's also fun to see some of the older Disney shorts that bring back so many great childhood memories. We've worn it out so much that I'm buying a new one to replace it! Truly a gem in our holiday collection.

This is a fantastic DVD. We played it continuously for a week until my daughter snapped it in two trying to get it out of the box. I'm going to buy another one.

Growing up as a child, I saw this video every Christmas season. It was almost to the point where it wasn't Christmas until this was watched. It has a lot of great Christmas songs with many clips from old Disney favorites.

It's great for the whole family, and the children will love it.

I've had this video since 1991. My son loved it then, still loves it now. It brings us into the holiday spirit, no matter what time of year it is. Disney did a wonderful job. My favorite song is the Parade of the Wooden Soldiers. Wish I could find that on CD or cassette. It's traditional songs are beautifully sang while the characters add to it. Great family time spent together! That is what the holidays and everyday is about.

Ok, I feel funny typing this but I will. I'm 15 years old and I still love this movie! My mom bought this movie for me when I was 4 and I've loved it ever since. I think this is a great movie for children if they like disney characters, christmas, and music. It also helps kids learn the words to some great christmas carols.
