Watch A Christmas Story For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

Must See Movie...

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

For a longest time i always had this faint memory of some Christmas related cartoon, that i think i might have seen in sometime in my childhood. It must have only aired once (in my country at least).But of course the internet saved the day on this upcoming Christmas and i could finally take a look at that almost forgotten flick.And its just. bleh.Story: Someone forgot sent poor Timmy's letter to Santa, so its up to a Clever little mouse and his Dog companion bring the letter to Santa, before he goes to Timmy's chimney.And that's about it.There's is not much to go for in this Hanna-Barbera flick except their typical cheap looking animation and their typical cheap slapstick. There was this one song that was enjoyable and Dogs voice actor is the one who played Tigger. But still i would not want to sit through this again.

I have fond memories of this. The friendly mouse and dog team up to deliver a letter to Santa. They go all over town but keep running into store Santas or Salvation Army types or whatever. There are the usual Hanna Barbara songs, voicers (Daws Butler and Paul Winchell), treacly images of an ideal Christmas, etc.And know what, I loved every single second of it. They'd put this on about 7:30 pm in December back in the 70s, and I can remember playing outside in the snow as a kid, coming into the house and seeing this come on. It was a perfect tandem show w/ the Grinch/Rankin Bass/Peanuts stuff that is now better remembered.It's not a classic per se, but its not that bad, and if you ever get a chance to watch it, do so. You gotta like H-B from the 70s though. Fair Warning.

As a one-off, unrelated to any franchise Special (it's also nothing to do with the 1983 movie with the same title) it's clear that A Christmas Story has fallen into massive obscurity. Quite rightly so, as it's a fairly bland story with nothing memorable about it whatsoever.It begins in some quaint, little, snow-covered town with little Timmy being read to by his dad on Xmas Eve. But he's forgotten to mail his letter to Santa, so the dog and house mouse take off in search of the big-bearded gift-giver (who conveniently just happens to be down the street instead of anywhere else in the world) in order to give him said letter.Limp hijinks follow. And it ends with a total cop-out, borderline illogical ending which pretty much negates everything that precedes it. But I guess I'm scrutinizing a 1972 Hanna-Barbera cartoon a little too closely.Forget this one, and stick to Specials based on established franchises.

Caught this peculiar oddity when the tivo was set for Loony Tunes. I actually thought it was older than '72, which was the same year for Roman Holidays and Amazing Chan.As the other review says, it was Gumdrop the mouse (Daws Butler, imagine Elroy Jetson here) and Goober the dog (Paul Winchell, Tigger from Winnie the Pooh) who suddenly felt the need to get Timmy's letter to Santa and chased him from house to house.Nothing overly new from the HB stock. The 'Hope' song is played in both the Flintstones' Christmas program (not the original Christmas episode from the early sixties show, which appears to be scheduled to air on WGN this year) and the Yogi Bear show, Yogi's First Christmas (not in Casper's Christmas).LIke most of these shows, its over before it starts getting on your nerves. Flintstones, however, is an hour program and Yogi runs ninety minutes.
