Love the brilliancy of the conductor being Quasimodo... the true classic bell ringer!
Anyone know if this version of the song exists anywhere else? I love Carol of the Bells, but, ironically, it's really hard to find a version that's actually played on bells! like many others, this version is the reason this became my favorite xmas song as a kid and still is! Fave version now is by Transiberian orchestra.
OMG I used to watch this as a child so many times around christmas! I loved the whole show but this was my favorite skit! I nearly wore that poor VHS out!
Here's my bands christmas song if anyone's interested /watch?v=TH87QavP1_4
Thanks for uploading this! This on ly played ONE time, I recorded it on VHS when I was a kid in the 80's - but tape was too warn and old to upload to youtube
This really brings back childhood memories. I recorded this special off of t.v. when it very first aired and used to watch it every Christmas growing up.
I'm only 18, but my family has had this vhs. ever since i was 2. I remember watching it every year til a few years ago when the video tape broke :( but watching these youtube videos of a claymation christmas has brought back so many memories. thanks for the upload!
Saw this program for the first time while in the military back in 1988, stepdad and mom said I would like it, feel in love with it! I have the dvd for my kids to enjoy for years to come. Our favorite part is the carol of the bells. LOVE IT !!!!!
Oh yea.. WILL VINTON STUDIOS RULES!

@murderouswayz you may also be shedding a tear for the generation gap that you prematurely narrowed

0:49 I'm pretty sure that should be a bass clef instead of a treble clef.
