Two hours of classic Walt Disney Christmas cartoons. Some all time favorite characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto. You can get tired of the Christmas music, the Christmas movies, but it's tough to get tired of the cartoons. We are working on bringing you the best Christmas entertainment to be found anywhere in one place. Merry Christmas.
Bruce Springsteen, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Live, 2007 concert footage. Vintage Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performance. This guy and the band can still put on an incredible show after all his years up on the stage. Very few are able to pull this off. The Boss is one of them that still can.
Now this is a very interesting music video. Billy Idol animated. The song has a catchy tune to it. Not a song we heard during that era. Worth putting on here though.
The MTV version of Wham's hit song, Last Christmas. One of the all time great original Christmas songs of the 1980's. Kicking it back a few decades. Were times better then? No, just different. Inflation was pretty high, the press complained about the politicians, jobs at the first part of the decade were scarce, and unemployment was high. Though there wasn't a draft, everyone that turned 18 had to sign up for the potential of being drafted. TV was very different. There were no reality TV shows. Video games were just starting to come out for the home market, otherwise everyone went to the video arcade to play the latest releases.
Home computers were just starting to come out. A gig of anything was unheard of and considered massive information. There were no Windows OS's. You coded your own work. Internet was unknown to the masses. High tech meant you had an awesome stereo and maybe a VCR. Cable TV was not the dominant force it is today. Only rich people had car phones. What the heck was a fax machine anyway? It was simply a different time. Everything changes. Some for the better, some not so much the better.
We have been seeing a number of issues while porting in videos onto this site and it has prevented us from being able to port a good number of videos onto here. Turns out with all the issues surrounding DMCA and copyright laws, even if a video or film, shows up and is playable on You Tube, if you try to port it onto your website, the video will not play on your site. That was the case with this video, Home Alone. We found a work around that allows us to port the movie in despite these new restrictions now being put in place.
We don't get it. Play it on TV and you are free to record the movie onto a VHS tape, DVD or onto your Hard Drive and even TiVo. You are free to make copies of that show any way you wish from that recording. Yet, post it online and you violate copyright laws. Download a copy and you violate copyright laws. Anyone see any issues here? We see VHS and DVD copies sold all the time through legal channels on the second hand market through thrift stores and more. No one is thinking of copyright violations in those areas or markets.
Used DVD or VHS tapes one would think should fall under copyright violations as the license should not transfer from the original purchaser. Wait, that is a really bad idea and how many sales would the movie industry loose because of it? DivX started out as a limited play and expired after so many days of first playing a video or after so many plays of the video. What happened to that market? The market crashed as no one wanted the highly overpriced crap and now DivX is free software. Something eventually has to give over DMCA copyright laws as they are failing in so many areas and we just do not see them ever winning no matter what they do.

Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol. For those not old enough to know about good old Mr Magoo cartoon's this was some pretty entertaining stuff back in it's day. For those old enough to remember Mr Magoo, here is a trip back down memory lane. A cartoon version of a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

What is Christmas without one of the classic Charlie Brown Christmas show specials? We are seeing if we can get a well rounded grouping of Christmas Entertainment up for everyone before Christmas to help with that Christmas spirit. Enjoy.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, a video CD that is up on You Tube. Thought we would share this with everyone. If not your cup of tea, that's okay, there is plenty more here.
