'A Charlie Brown Christmas' will include a bonus Peanuts TV special.
'Horton Hears a Who!' will include the feature-length documentary "In Search of Dr. Seuss", the singalong music video "You Can Heart Horton, Horton Can Hear You!", and two more animated stories based on Dr. Seuss' work: "Dr. Seuss' Butter Battle Book", and "Daisy-Head Mayzie." Apparently missing is a third segment included in the DVD, "Horton Hatches the Egg."
Extras for 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' are still unconfirmed.
What a rip off!! They should all be released on a single disc together! These shorts are less than 25 minutes each. Even with a bunch of special features, they could all fit on one disc. Even if they only charge $15 per disc, it's still too expensive
If it was all the charlie brown specials on one disc, like the holiday box set I might bite, but its kinda sad to purchase a blu-ray for a 20 min short.
Ya. That would've been so much better. Especially since it's releasing October 6. Great Pumpkin (another annual watch at my house), Thanksgiving, and Christmas all on one disc.
Peanuts 1960's Collection DVD Box Set To Be Released July 7, 2009
The Peanuts 1960's Collection, a two-disc DVD set containing all of the animated Peanuts TV specials from the 1960's, is coming from Warner Home Video on July 7, 2009.
This box set will contain six Peanuts specials, three of which are not currently available on DVD, and two of which have never been released on DVD in the US before. The specials included will be:
A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
Charlie Brown's All-Stars (1966)
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)
You're in Love Charlie Brown (1967)
He's Your Dog, Charlie Brown (1968)
It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown (1969)
A Charlie Brown Christmas, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and You're In Love, Charlie Brown are available on other Warner Home Video DVDs; Charlie Brown's All-Stars was released on a Paramount DVD, which is now out of print; and He's Your Dog, Charlie Brown and It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown have never been released on DVD before in the United States.
The box set will also include a documentary about jazz musician Vince Guaraldi, who composed the music for the first 14 Peanuts TV specials (including all the ones in this set). This documentary is titled The Maestro of Menlo Park — Profiling
$29.99 retail for a 25 minute cartoon is rather outragous. These are good cartoons but should be packaged with similar cartoons not on there own for such a high price.
