A great Christmas Story!
Initially I bought the video because it featured the music arranged and composed by Lyle Mays, but I was quite surprised at the story and the miracle of what Christmas is. The animation is quited good and I enjoy playing this video during the Christmas season for my son, and anytime in the year! Amy Grant and Christopher Reeve are featured as the voices of the characters. Beautifully done.
Beloved Tradition
Our family has enjoyed watching this video since it was first released on VHS. Such a sweet story and the narration by Amy Grant and Christopher Reeves is well done. The narration combined with the music and animation leaves an overall sense of peace, truly. This is in no way flashy or hyper, but rather classic and subdued; perfect for Christmas. Today, I was looking to see if its available on DVD because the VHS machine is worn out. Thankfully it is available on DVD at rabbitears.com!
Does not tell the Christmas story
If you are looking for something that would impart Christianity or tell about the real meaning of Christmas, this is not the movie for you. It was a cute story all the way until the very end, and then it got pretty cheesy. We had thought maybe it would tell about baby Jesus being born, or maybe mention God, but there was nothing. It was a pretty empty story. It had a lot of build-up and suspense, cause they kept talking about some miracle that was going to happen and then when it happened, my kids started laughing cause it was just weird. oh well.
