The veil looks nice BUT Should say A RANKIN/BASS Classic at the top BUT CLASSIC MEDIA and SONY WONDER continue to package the RANKIN/BASS catalog in a very generic scheme (NOT obvious why, it only hurts sales) . Anyway, this was originally a 1967 TV Special, which features a very nice LIVE introduction and closing by DANNY THOMAS. Not one of the better Cel Provocative RANKIN/BASS specials BUT not poor either. The soundtrack is delicious and it is Stout to hear MARLO THOMAS work with her dad. For this trace, I definitely recommend it to any RANKIN/BASS fan!
Like most people I’d never seen this special (though being a Rankin & Bass fan I knew of it) and as it was included in the collection I was finally able to ogle it. I have to say though, that it’s not difficult to understand why it has rarely been seen since it’s release. Unlike the rest of the Rankin & Bass specials, this one somehow looks dated and doesn’t quite have the charm of the rest of their efforts. I don’t contemplate the character produce was the best they’d ever done either. It was edifying up to a point and had some fine music for the kids so I won’t give it a zero but I didn’t acquire it all that sharp and what happened next totally turned me off to it forever.

About halfway through, there is a scene (which I can’t understand why it wasn’t lop or wasn’t changed in some intention) that I was very, very disappointed to peep. At one point the cricket is kidnapped by the typical bad-guy henchman and delivered to a sea captain and when they ask to be paid the sea captain says “I have your payment fair here’ and pulls out a gun and murders them!!! Bang! Bang! Bang! Are you kidding me??? I couldn’t have what I was seeing!!! They don’t actually present it but you examine a long shot of the boat and the flashes from the gun muzzle. Amazing.
I can’t assert you how miserable it is on Christmas Eve trying to account for what honest happened to your two young children who were expecting to examine a nice Christmas video with their parents. If you like that sort of thing then give it a gaze but we won’t be watching ‘The Cricket On The Hearth’ in our house anytime soon.
