Box is a little rough around the bottom corners and a little dog-eared on the top endflap. Still has nice color though. Pre-viewed for quality and played great, cassette is nice and clean. This remastered version has real good color and nice clean print source given it's age. Animated puppets much like 'Nightmare Before Christmas'. This always played every year around Christmas on prime time TV in the '60s. Narrated and sung by Fred Astaire, that's his character on the cover, kind of looks like him in real life. This delightful story tells how Kris Kringle (voiced by Mickey Rooney) got his start as the world's most famous gift giver by struggling to bring toys and happiness to the children of Sombertown. If your children want to know the origins of Santa Claus, well... here it is!
