Product Description
Filmed in a distinctly old school stop-motion style, DAVEY AND GOLIATH'S SNOWBOARD CHRISTMAS follows the intrepid young adventurer and his faithful canine sidekick as they take to the slopes for a snowboarding session. A few lessons in life are in store for young Davey as the adventures unravel, and these are nicely balanced with plenty of seasonal Christmas cheer.

 A wonderful revisit to old friends, with a great message June 4, 2008
After a long hiatus the duo of Davey and Goliath are back, and with a wonderful Christmas message, too! The son of the original animators recreates the timeless style of this old 60's favorite, and adds an updated and needed reminder of what the birth of Jesus was all about- the coming of love into the world, not just 2000 years ago, but today and always. The animation looks better than ever, thanks to newer technology, and the story is told in a moving way that kids can understand and adults will enjoy, too. This DVD has now become a season tradition for me and my family! It just goes to show that the truth (and solid artistic work) holds up despite the passing of time.
Let's see more of such great animation and keep Davey and Goliath coming out on DVD!
 Political correct poison March 19, 2007

I grew up on Davey and Goliath and still enjoy the old episodes. I was looking forward to a new installment to the series but was greatly disappointed once I began watching.
I am no fan of political correctness (leftist propaganda/indoctrination) and it was a great letdown that the Clokey family and the Lutheran Church succumbed to this poison to society.
Why can't Christians have their own holiday? Muslims and Jews have theirs, and I can't remember the last time a Muslim or Jew made me, a Christian feel inclusive of Ramadan or Hannuka.
Anyway, the animation is topnotch, but the message is garbage. Pass this one by if you're looking for a good ol D&G Christmas message. If that is what you are looking for, then watch "Christmas Lost and Found". All your kids will get out of a "Snowboard Christmas" is feeling guilty for being a Christian....and maybe that is the intent.
 Good for the kids! January 9, 2007

WHo could say anything negative about wholesome Davey and Goliath. It's been 3 decades since I
watched in Black and WHite...Davey has moved into the modern age with a sports subject matter
sure to appeal to the kids. Maybe for me too much effort to be politically correct, but it retains the
basic value messages...and it sure beats the alternatives available out there .

During the last couple of years I've seen repeats on t.v. of the old show of "Davey and Goliath",which I loved as a kid" and thought it was too bad that tv was soo Sexist back in 1970's and '60s. I believe ,especially in these violent and self-centered days, America and the world need to have more friendly religious messeges! So many Christian people today seem so bigoted & self righteous and go giving out their version, often misguided messeges, of Christianity.I totally think shows like these need to help bring people together. Also, I suggest viewing the "Vegetable Tales"videos.

Snowboard Christmas could have been wonderful, given the theme, but the message is pure liberal propaganda. The plot and dialog are unnaturally subservient to political correctness. All beliefs and genders are equal. The predetermined ending becomes obvious about ten minutes into the story. Remakes are generally bland, and this one sure is. A big disappointment is the voice of Goliath. Oh well, we live in Orwellian times.
