Actors: Scott Hamilton, Ekaterina Gordeeva, Kurt Browning, Josee Chouinard Reviews: FUN FAMILY HOLIDAY FILM December 2, 2007 By BAM VINETM VOICE Amazon Verified Purchase This was originally a Target exclusive movie. I purchased my VHS copy at a discount after Christmas the year it was released. Truthfully, I would not have purchased it originally if it had not been 50% or 75% off. Now I wish I had purchased several more and the DVD version. It has become a favorite. This video is like an Ice Capades show only MUCH better as you are treated to close up interaction between the performers and some video magic that isn't possible during live performances. The story line is sweet and appropriate for all ages. The story is tender with fantasy and generously sprinkled with high spirited fun. Some of the skating has the beauty of a ballet. Other sequences are high energy. Scott Hamilton is incredible on a pair of skates and makes a cute Elvis. Ekaterina Gordeeva is so beautiful. Love to watch her on skates. (This performance was after her husbands untimely death.) Kurt Browning and Josee Chouinard are also a joy to watch. I have been trying for several years to find DVD copies of this video--one for our home library and several more for our grandchildren. The DVD version hasn't been available on ebay. People seem to be holding on to this one. Since the Amazon product info is bare for this video, I have copied some info from several ebay auctions for the VHS version below: "Daring leaps, amazing acrobatics, marvelous music, sensational skating and a magic mirror make this special holiday show a skating spectacular on ice. In this exciting tale of dreams fulfilled, a beautiful magic mirror reveals the wishes of small children to Snowden, Raggedy Ann & Andy, Doc and an all-star cast of skaters."
