5.0 out of 5 stars This is fantastic!, November 2, 1999

This review is from: Rudolph Frosty & Friends (Blister) (Audio CD)

When I was growing up back in the seventies, I looked forward every Christmas to watching the Rudolph, Frosty, and Santa cartoons. Having this CD and listening to the music selections from the cartoons brings lots of memories back to mind. I love to hear these old favorites! This is a must have for anyone who remembers these cartoons as fondly as I do.

5.0 out of 5 stars The original recordings from acclaimed Rankin Bass Specials, December 21, 2004

This is probably the best single cd overview of original recordings from holiday Christmas Specials, certainly of Rankin-Bass specials. It contains seven recordings from Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer like "Jingle Jangle Jingle" and "We're A Couple Of Misfits" (only the instrumental overture and finale are missing and they can be found on the Cd Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer that is erroneously credited to only Burl Ives). Also included here are Santa Claus Is Coming To Town's title track, "First Toymaker To The King," "No More Toymakers To The King," and the super delightful "Put One Foot In Front Of The Other". Frosty is represented by its Jimmy Durante-sung title track and the Little Drummer Boy special is represented by its title track as well.

The only significant holiday tv special recordings not included here are the nifty "Heat Miser" and "Snow Miser" from Rankin-Bass's Year Without A Santa Claus (you can find those on Nick At Nite's A Classic Cartoon Christmas Too) and A Charlie Brown Christmas' "Christmas Time Is Here," "Hark The Herald," and "O Tannenbaum" (available on Vince Guaraldi's Christmas cd and on Nick At Nite's A Classic Cartoon Christmas). Plus, "Welcome Christmas" and "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" from How The Grinch Stole Christmas (also found on A Classic Cartoon Christmas). All of these songs will make you feel like a kid again. Happy listening!

This review is from: Rudolph, Frosty & Friends' Favorite Christmas Songs (Audio CD)

"Rudolph, Frosty and Friends Favorite Christmas Songs" is a fun little Christmas CD. It has a hodge-podge of hits from four Rankin/Bass Christmas specials ("Santa Claus is Coming to Town," "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Frosty the Snowman."), featuring such great Holiday singers as Burl Ives, Jimmy Durante and Fred Astair.

All of the songs are well done, and come straight off the soundtrack for the Christmas special. Rankin/Bass has always meant holiday fun, and this CD is no exception.

The only complaint about this CD is that it could have been better. Rankin/Bass has a treasure horde of Christmas songs, both traditional and original. Songs from "The Year Without a Santa Claus" would have been appreciated. For what it is, it is a good CD. But it could have been better.

Ah well, "Jingle, Jingle, Jingle, I can hear those sleigh bells ring, I am old Kris Kringle, I'm the king of jingle ling..."
