- I've waited forever for this
I have waited forever for this movie to come out on DVD and finally here it is.
I remember watching this as a child and I thought it was cool as it went from live action to animation and back to live action again.
Thanks so much for bringing my childhood back if only in a movie.

- The Daydreamer - DVD
The Daydreamer was one of several 1960's movies from Rankin Bass in animagic. It's a combination of movie and claymation with a number of well known fairytales in it. It is in line with the other 60's greats such as Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer & The Mad Monster Party. I had to have it to complete my collection and it brings back plenty of memories when I was growing up as a kid in the 60's.

As well as the Emperor's New Clothes & Thumbelina which they weren't as familiar with. As an adult, I get a kick out of the movie stars and ... Read More
