Overall

As I've said, nothing says 'Christmas' like the classics can. The classic is exactly what you get here on this set, and much more. There are two discs here to enjoy for this holiday feature that you almost can't let a year go by without seeing. One features the original black and white version, but the first disc includes a newly colorized version of Miracle On 34th Street. I would highly recommend this title to anyone, especially if they haven't already seen it. Now is the best time yet to get your hands on this holiday classic as you can have both versions of this film, as well as the shorter TV version and other informative features. This set is packed with enough to show that a lot of care has gone into this set. The picture quality seems to be a little better on the old release funny enough. I think there was a little compensation being made for how bright the lighter shades looked before by dimming them a little for a better black level, but may have gone a little too far. All in all this set is definitely worth the upgrade for the features and the two disc packaging alone. No Christmas is complete without this movie, as it's up there as one of the most cherished holiday classics of all time. Grab this set and find out why.
