Comments: This disc is a good example as why a uniformal menu on all the discs would be a nice feature. Once you pick a special, instead of the icon being on Play All, it places you on the chapters.
Santa Claus is Comin' to Town: The ultimate dissappointment to this special is that the creators got carried away by creating their own origin of Santa Claus as ooposed to telling the real stories of origins (socks, the first Christmas trees, etc). A magic snowball? It's also a contridiction to their own specials (feeding magic corn to reindeer to make them fly, as opposed to the training that the Rudolph special has...unless those reindeer only eat magical corn...). I think as a kid I really did not like the young Santa look either...and heck, the old Santa looks nothing like in the other specials, Ah!
The Little Drummer Boy: !
