5.0 out of 5 stars A holiday must see!, July 30, 2002

This review is from: Very Merry Cricket [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A very Merry Cricket by Chuck Jones is one of my usual must see Holiday tapes. A sequel to Mr. Jones Cricket in Times Square. We find Harry Cat, Tucker Mouse feeling down about all the commerical selling in the Big City of New York. People have forgotten the meaning of the Holiday, so off they go to Sunnyslope, Connecticut in search of Chester the musical cricket,also featured in "A Cricket In Times Square" also by Chuck Jones. We have a little fun with their adventures getting back to the big city of New York in time for Chester to play "Silent Night" on his wings during a blackout and remind people just what the holiday of Christmas stands for. With voices done by Mel Blanc, a wonderful holiday tape. For all ages.

I have no idea why anyone would ever give this a bad review. Of course the quality of the video is not up to the new standards. So what? The childhood memories are more important. Younger folks might not understand. But those of us who were around when this was a holiday regular on network TV DO. Please remaster this gem and release it on DVD!

1.0 out of 5 stars utterly forgettable, December 14, 2003

This review is from: Very Merry Cricket [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Made at a time when Chuck Jones' gifts were in decline; the animation looks really low-grade, the first few minutes of the show are pure headache fodder, at least five minutes worth are a pure rehash of Cricket In Times Square. If this show is trying to say something at any level I couldn't pick it out. If I had a half hour to fill this holiday season I'd just go take a nap before I sat through this again.
