gavin6942 Two hosting prehistoric dinosaurs guide you along a typical small town's Christmas choral celebration. There's just one catch, the entire town population is made out of clay! Special Guest Stars: The California Raisins! Apparently today this special is hard to track down, with the only DVD release having some pretty awful sound quality (a shame considering this is basically a musical with clay over the top). And yet, it seems to be well-remembered by those who saw it all those year ago.I was able to track down a copy and was impressed by what I saw. Some, like the Raisins, were how I recalled them. But there are some very interesting interpretations of Christmas songs that need to be heard.

dorianagray "Claymation Christmas" has been one of my favorite specials ever since I was a kid. I recorded it from the Disney Channel around 1992 and I still watch it every year as an adult. "Claymation Christmas" is hosted by two dinosaurs, the smart and proper Rex and dimwitted Herb. Throughout the special, Rex tries to explain to Herb and other numerous characters the true meaning of the song "Here we come-a wassaling". The street food vendors, including a bunch of pigs selling fruit from a truck, keep getting the words wrong. Herb keeps sneaking off and getting food from the vendors while Rex tells about the songs.The scenes are interspersed with animated Christmas songs. From the hilarious "Carol of the Bells" (with real bells and Quasimodo!) to the beautiful, folk-song version of "Joy to the World", they are all very enjoyable.Finally at the end, a group of elves selling cider come along, correctly singing "Here we come-a wassaling". The other Claymation characters come out and start singing too. Finally we see Herb, who has eaten so much he has doubled in size. The special is funny and entertaining for both kids and adults.

lorbro313 This is a must-see-movie in our household. The clamation wonderfully animates classic Christmas Carols. It is full of humor and it enjoyable for all ages. We wore our tape into oblivion and it took me forever to find another copy.

sketchyninja Finally a Christmas special that doesn't inspire a gag reflex. Well done animation and story that makes you just want to wassail. The camels really rock as do the California Raisins. Music is original with redone Christmas favorites. Find the kids and a big lump of clay and enjoy! (along with some waffles:)
