Sacrificial giving--reminiscent of O. Henry's timeless "Gift of the Magi"--is the theme of this lighthearted Christmas gem ideally suited to young audiences. Jason Alexander (of Seinfeld fame) lends his ever-mirthful voice as Santa's Elf, who narrates the animated tale of a poor family and a father's wish to give his kids a special gift at Christmas "to put a sparkle in their eyes." Even though Mom and Dad (voiced by Shelley Long and James Eckhouse) have sold most of the farm animals to pay off debt, Tommy and Beth are unaware that poverty has struck their household. They are brimming with excitement as they put the finishing touches on a surprise gift for their parents--a one-horse open sleigh to be pulled by Kris, their trusty, talking horse (voiced by Don Knotts). Meanwhile, Dad quietly decides that the only way he can afford to get his children a Christmas present is to sell the family's beloved steed. What looks like an ideal solution brings dismay on Christmas morning, despite the kids' best efforts to put on a brave face in the absence of their gentle gelding. It would take a Christmas miracle to remedy this mishap, not impossible if "you think with your hearts and not with your heads," says Elf. The tender tale is loaded with valuable Yuletide lessons, especially a reminder that the best Christmas presents are often the ones that can't be gift-wrapped. And all ages will enjoy a rousing rendition of the title song at the film's end. --Lynn Gibson

 NO!!! DON'T BE CONFUSED July 26, 2003

If the picture is accurate, this is NOT the Jason Alexander narrated Christmas Classic "Jingle Bells". The three Christmas Classic animated stories are all quite nice. This is an astonishingly cheaply animated video. It's awful. The characters rock back and forth using the same two animated cells. The story is awful. One of the worst Christmas videos of all time!!OKAY: Amazon continues to confuse the two. The DVD is what it claims to be. The three specials on the DVD are really well-done charming Christmas stories. Nell Carter is a gem as Mrs. Claus. Just Don't buy the wrong VHS Jingle Bells.
 Find out if it's coming out again! June 10, 1999

I am sixteen years old and I still remember half the words to Jingle Bells from when I was in second grade, so I decided to buy this video. It came as a shock to me that it is no longer available.It was a masterpiece. Bring it back!
