A must for Mannheim Steamroller fans! Dated but the story, the skating and the music made this great! A must for Mannheim Steamroller and Olympic ice skaters!

Christmas Angel

(5 out of 5 stars)
"If you like ice skating and Christmas and the music of the Mannheim Steamrollers, plus the skating of Dorothy Hamill, then you will love the DVD of this Television Special. There are some pretty great special effects, the colors are fabulous, and of course, the skating done by some of the greatest ice skaters from around the world, is wonderful."
Chip Davis Is A Musical Genius!

"This Dvd contains a story written by Chip Davis. The story is performed on ice by skaters. The music of Mannheim Steamroller is absolutely magnificent when choreographed with the skating sequences. That is what makes this a work of art.
It seems a lot like a Christmas fairy tale on ice! It has spectacular music and some beautiful special effects.
Truly Unique and yet "another" masterpiece from the artful hands of Chip Davis.
So, if you like ice skating and the music of Mannheim Steamroller, then this is the DVD for you!
Just keep in mind that this is not a concert, but a well-put-together Christmas show.
It is 45 mins. of magic. The story is told by Chip Davis and Olivia Newton John, as parents reading a book to their children. This DVD stars Dorothy Hamill and Elvis Stojko.
This is a beautiful story for parents and children alike, and will probably be a very enjoyable experience for you!
Chip Davis is the genius behind Mannheim Steamroller and is the "main man" behind this production! ENJOY!"

"Thoroughly enjoyable DVD. I have long followed the skaters and skating shows. So I am familiar with the cast of this show. The addition of Mannheim Steamroller music adds to its uniqueness. I bought a sample of this DVD last year and decided I must have the complete show. Well executed wih a cute story line. Randy Gardner's choreography is amazing."
Grand Children Pleaser

"This was an excellent production and enjoyed by our 8 and 10 year old grand daughters. We previewed the DVD first and then prior to showing it to our grand daughters talked about good and evil in life and that there was good and evil in what they were going to see. We thought the devil looking skaters would bother them."
