New Christmas Blu-ray to Include Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol


Nobody really wants to talk about Christmas.  In fact, some may even threaten those who are talking Christmas when it's really time to get ready for Halloween.  Today, however, Dreamworks is re-releasing the Christmas specials they own as part of their acquisition of Classic Media.  The collectors edition bundle, however, includes some bonus specials including Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol.  

While it is unknown if Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol ever aired on Boomerang, we do know that the TV Mr. Magoo cartoons did air on Boomerang as part of a deal they made with Classic Media.  That deal has since been long gone though.

Of course, none of the other specials have ever aired on Boomerang as they had special deals of their own.  For example, CBS still has exclusive TV rights to Rudolph, Frosty, and Frosty Returns while two of Disney's TV stations, ABC and ABC Family, hold the TV rights to Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

Since the re-brand, the fate of Boomerang's Christmas Party is unknown, but keep following this blog for updates.
