  The Box Of Delights
Review created: 09/02/08

The Box Of Delights was first released for Childrens afternoon TV in the 80's.
As a child I was fascinated by the visual effects and and magical storyline of a schoolboys adventure during Christmas holidays. Upon viewing it again, some 20 years later, I am sorry to say the magic and wonder has long dissapeared. For instance visual effects of the 80's are totally laughable by todays standards, making the whole production seem very dated. Is it because we all grow up and mature, and our tastes change, or is it because we remember watching this when we were children during our Christmas holidays? I never had any memories later on like the ones I had when I was 11. Jesus, does anyone?

A wonderful piece of Christmas viewing - it was magical when I first saw it in 1984 and it has lost nothing over the years.

My husband loves this, he wanted it as a present as the hidden storyline interests him and he watched it when it was the original t.v series. The old man is based on Nicholas Flamel, the alchemist, who most will have heard of through the Harry Potter stories. A good mystical children's film, but great for those who remember it the first time round.

  Box Of Delights DVD
Review created: 05/10/09

Bought this DVD because our eldest son very much enjoyed watching this series in the Eighties.
Although the Special Effects aren't as spectacular as today's, it 's still very watchable.
The music is very Christmassy, a nice DVD to watch in the run up to Christmas.
We're very happy to have this DVD in our Collection.

The reason I bought this DVD was because I sat and watched it with my children and it will provoke unforgettable memories. I can't remember if we missed the last episode or not but as I love children's fantasies I will watch it all again anyway. Hopefully my grandchildren will enjoy it also. There is nothing to dislike

  Box of Delights BBC DVD starring Patrick Troughton
Review created: 22/03/08

I watched this series when it was shown by the BBC at Christmas 1984 and was mesmerised. Even now, nearly 25 years later, it is still enchanting and the effects, though a little dated, are not bad at all, considering they were produced in the mid-eighties. The story is timeless and I would recommend both the book and the DVD to anyone of any age but especially to children who want to know what we read before Harry Potter

I first watched this on tv in 1985 when it came out, and loved it! I have the book but had never been able to find it on dvd until now. It"s the perfect dvd to make you feel christmassy! The extras included clips from Pebble Mill and Blue Peter, a right blast from the past! Excellent!

this is a really great sreies to make part of any ones christmas traditional parts.
i had this on vidio and played it every year untill the vidios wore out
its a wonderful mix of animation and live sections. no matter what the age group this will be a great family film leading up to christmas
even more so if you like fantasy stories as well
there is no part of this i dislike
would have to give it a rating of 5 stars
