### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A Dylan Thomas Classic
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2024*

This movie was produced by PBS. It was filmed on location in Wales. Along with White Christmas and A Christmas Story, this has become a family viewing tradition. It is sometimes hard to acquire a copy. I would recommend adding this to your family collection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Among the best of all Christmas DVDs ever made.
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2020*

This warm, heartfelt production first aired more than 30 years ago and was sponsored by McDonald's at the time.  We were utterly enchanted when we saw it back then, and were happy that we had recorded it on VHS so we could watch it every Christmas over the ensuing years.  When it finally became available on DVD we jumped at the opportunity to own it in much finer format than VHS, and have continued to watch it every Christmas since then.  Filmed in a seaside Welsh town, it has an air of purity and authenticity that takes the viewer right into the scene and keeps you there until the end.  The story line is elegant and guileless in its simplicity.  In my opinion the genius of this production is its ability to transport the viewer across an entire century into a past that no longer exists, and to enable us to get into the mind of one small boy in a way that we seldom experience.  It is impossible to find any major fault with this timeless masterpiece written by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas in the early 20th century.  We have given this DVD to many friends as a Christmas gift, and every recipient has shared with us how deeply touched they were to see it.  The DVD was unavailable for a number of years until very recently, so we purchased 3 more copies to give to younger generations in our family who would probably not see it otherwise.  There is no way to give this wonderful story and production the credit it truly deserves.  Highly recommended!

    A Lyrical, Magical Classic
  

*by F***I on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2013*

Wonderfully narrated by Denholm Elliott, this beautiful film, "A Child's Christmas in Wales," delves into the richness of Dylan Thomas' prose. Gorgeous cinematography of the coastal Welsh village and surrounding landscape vividly brings to life this classic Christmas tale. Dylan Thomas' 1955 poem, originally written for radio, is meant to be savored on a chill winter's night, and nostalgically portrays a simpler time, with a child's special imagination. On Christmas Eve, kindly grandfather "Old Geraint" (Elliott) shares stories about his Christmas past with his beloved grandson, Thomas (a perfectly elfin Mathonwy Reeves). The narrative poetry will pull you in: "All the Christmases roll down toward the two-tongued sea, like a cold and headlong moon bundling down the sky that was our street; and they stop at the rim of the ice-edged, fish-freezing waves, and I plunge my hand in the snow and bring out whatever I can find. In goes my hand into that wool-white bell-tongued ball of holidays resting on the rim of the carol-singing sea..."True to Thomas' story, the film delightfully describes a Useless Present: "a celluloid duck that made, when you pressed it, a most unducklike sound, a mewing moo that an ambitious cat might make who wished to be a cow..." I have heard black and white cow-cats like that, who poke around the ground with their little faces, eating grass and moo-mewing.This film can enrich and inspire your family traditions during the holidays. To further savor the story, we also have the book, A Child's Christmas in Wales. You also might want to try another lyrical film: The Secret of Roan Inish. Enjoy!
