I love the littles and I was so excited when I saw this Christmas edition. There is snow in one episode but nothing has to do with Christmas!! Nothing! I was so disappointed. The episodes were good but please don't expect this to have ANYTHING to do Christmas. Other than that the episodes were good, just like I remembered!!
misleading title
now, before i start let me just say that "the littles" has been a favorite cartoon of mine(and one i haven't seen in ages). when i noticed this dvd for sale i grabbed it quick, but after watching it i was disappointed that there was nothing to do with christmas aside from the cover art. however, you get four great episodes from the show, i just wish the company would not have promoted it as a christmas special.
Finally been released to Home Entertainment....
After all these years of not being released to home entertainment, The Littles are livin' with you again. Aside from it's TV movie Here Come The Littles from Playhouse Video in the late '80s, and a early '90s release from BMG, as well as a late '90s release from DiC, and the rare Liberty & The Littles which is a rare release. Anyway, the DVD was great. I do not know why it's considered a Christmas special release because non of these have to do with Christmas (even though the one title A Present For Grandpa Little is a bit of a refrence), but the episodes are actually Looking For Grandma Little (1984) (which is titled A Present For Grandpa Little), The Spirits Of The Night (1983), as well as the show's final episode ever The Little Girl Who Could (1985). Plus also, there's a bonus episode on the DVD "The Little Scouts" (1983). The opening is intact before the menu and I am happy to report that The Little Ideas For Big People segments (aka A Little Known Fact in 1985 episodes) are intact except on the bonus episode and nothing is sped-up and I am very happy that they kept the DIC logo with Dinky tossing the button is intact as well. So I give this release three stars!
Couldn't ask for a better video for the price! My 4 kids have fallen in love with Inspector Gadget. Current programming on TV has to be screened so heavily to determine its suitability for kids; it's great to see a good show that's just plain fun. The transfer to DVD is handled well. The first episode with Inspector Gadget with a mustache is hilarious. The others are well-chosen, and my children are begging to watch the DVD all the time.

I cannot begin to express my joy at finally having these episodes on DVD after all these years. If you never watched My Little Pony, it was a little more involved than you might have imagined with actual plots and adventures rather than just fluff. There are a few episodes that are oddly dark for a show about pretty ponies but there is nothing edgier than you would see on any show aimed at young girls. My joy at finally having these on DVD, however, is overshadowed by my frustration that they finally released Rescue from Midnight Castle (or Firefly's Adventure depending on your generation) and Escape from Catrina (the DVD incorrectly spells this Katrina) but edited them. What is the point of releasing them on DVD at all if you are only going to edit them! We now have to wait for them to...

The evil Dr. Claw has thrown Santa down a manhole and hypnotized the elves into breaking the very toys they've just been making. It's a job for Inspector Gadget (voiced by Don Adams in his irrepressible Get Smart mode) with a big hand from his whip-smart niece Penny and her brainy dog. The trio heads up to the North Pole to rescue the big red guy, cheerfully butcher a Christmas song or two, and restore Yuletide order. Kids ages 3 and older will enjoy the hijinks as the bumbling inspector arrests the real Santa for impersonation and uses his jet propeller hat, spring legs, and other gadgets to great effect in Santa's workshop. This 23-minute video won't teach the kids their ABCs, but it's a lot of fun and there's something endearing about Penny's efforts to help her...
