Here are some treasures from my collections of film/tv related books & vhs tapes. Hopefully they will stir some fond memories.
|
Robinson, Barbara, and Judith Gwyn Brown. 1973. The Best Christmas pageant ever. New York: Avon. |
While this famous Christmas story was first published in 1972, the ABC TV Special starring Loretta Swit premiered in 1983. See the VHS cover below.
|
Swit, Loretta, and Barbara Robinson. 1986. The Best Christmas pageant ever. [U.S.]: Regency Home Video. |
|
Hanna-Barbera Productions. 1987. The Nativity. New York, N.Y.: Hanna-Barbera Productions. |
By many accounts Hanna & Barbera (William & Joseph) felt that their Bible series was the best thing they ever did.
|
Heckman, Don, and Bob Forward. 1989. He-Man She-Ra: a Christmas special. Charlotte, N.C.: United American Video. |
This cartoon adventure usually makes the list of the strangest Christmas specials ever made.
|
Oliver, Mary. 1985. The legend of Santa Claus: Santa Claus, the movie. [Place of publication not identified]: McDonalds. |
This film didn't catch on quite as well as "The Santa Clause" nearly a decade later. Does McDonalds still publish books?
