Search - Various Artists :: Nick at Nite's Classic Cartoon Christmas

Baby boomer nostalgia or a timeless trip into the season? That question practically becomes mute when one tunes in to these classic TV Christmas cartoons that magically maintain their shelf life. There's Burl Ives singing "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" and the title track to the songs from the animated Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer show, along with that lovable "We're a Couple of Misfits." And with a handful of songs from A Charlie Brown Christmas and A Muppet Family Christmas, this CD is sure to connect with adults who remember first seeing these holiday shows on TV, as well as their kids who are seeing them for the 60th time on video. That said, ya gotta love a record that has the original "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch," as well as Fred Astaire doing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," and Jimmy Durante showboating his way through "Frosty the Snowman." Big fun for old and young. --Martin Keller
