One of the best christmas shows I have ever seen

My mom taped this show and we used to watch it all the time, til it accidently got taped over. I would love to see it again, its absolutely wonderful. Paul Fusco did an excellent job, this is a special part of my christmas past and I would like for it to be a part of my daughters christmas memories as well.

Beloved Holiday Special Finally Coming to DVD!

This is a wonderful hidden gem of a Christmas special. I know many fellow Santa's Magic Toy Bag fans always lament over the fact they can't find it anywhere ... or their VHS copies are so worn out from watching it over and over, they sadly can't enjoy it any more. I'm so glad to have just read that it is finally being released on DVD for the first time since it originally aired on Showtime Network in 1983! I would definitely recommend picking up a copy this Holiday season, I know I will! This is a unique chance for families and children to discover them again for the first time. Classic, wholesome, family entertainment at its best!

A childhood favorite

I don't know what the other reviewer's problem is but this movie was a favorite of mine as a child and can't be found anywhere much to my chagrin (except Greenland, apparently). We taped this (on Beta) off of Showtime and watched it every year.

The poor elf is a screw-up whose only friend is a jack-in-the-box named Danny. After messing up in every department at the North Pole, Santa gives him the job of keeping an eye on his "magic toy bag" until Christmas Eve since he can't possibly mess that up. Guess what...

Not really deep, but a sweet little movie I wish I could get on DVD to share with my new baby at the holidays.

This one was one of my favorites as a kid

Actually, this was a movie about an elf that doesn't fit in to any department at Santa's toy factory. Feeling out of place, he is given a special job, caring for Santa's toy bag. He ends up washing the bag and shrinks, so he makes another one for Santa but finds that it doesn't have the magic. Santa grabs the bag and sees that the magic was in the bag all along. Great movie for kids!

It was all done with puppets and used to be one of my favorite Christmas specials. I used to have it on VHS but the tape was so old that a VCR eventually ate it.

I've been looking for a copy of it everywhere but cant seem to find it, so if anyone has seen or knows where I might be able to find it, that would be great!

Sherman reminds all the elves what Christmas is all about!

This is one of my all time Christmas favorites! I HAD to comment when I read the first review-from Massachusetts! I watch this every year....and keep praying my VCR doesn't eat this great old' show (it's on a tape with several other "Oldies but Goodies"! I wish I could find them on DVD! I highly recommend this wonderful cartoon to everyone! who watches holiday cartoons. This came out back in the 1980's on Showtime and I remember watching it(again!!) while I taped it. Who can forget the jack in the box named Danny that Sherman used to talk to? And the toys that Sherman created-- I STILL wish I could have one or two of them! Bottom Line--They JUST Don't make them the way they used to!
