Love It

I loved this movie when I was a little girl. It brought back so many memories!!

Meet the Raisins

This is another classic from Claymation. Appropriate for those who enjoy good Claymation animation. Very funny little skits of the California Raisins as they rise to fame and fortune, and even includes some funny "commercials". This tape has great old '60's music to accompany the animation. If you enjoy the Raisins doing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in the classic a Claymation Christmas, then you'll probably enjoy this tape.

This movie is pretty darn snazzy...

I'd usually give it a 4 star rating...but due to it's "underdog" status it won't hurt to bolster it a little. Besides, the 1-star reduction was only considering that not everyone who watches this will have the same nostalgia as me and the other reviewers seem to keep with us.

BUT all that out of the way, the animation quality really is superb, Vinton Studios is best with it's medium...and speaking of Vinton Studios...here's a little surprise for those wishing to buy this movie new:

Both Raisin specials are made available on VHS at the Vinton Studios Store! So show your support and buy one for everyone you know.

Extremely Clever And A Lot Of Fun

The songs and the "history" of the "California Raisins" are shown in this half-hour video....and it is very funny and entertaining. The California Raisins are claymation characters that it made it big with commercials on television.

This "documentary" is the "story" of the animated group - some fake history of these likable raisin characters. The "history" shows how the group was formed and played '60s and '70s R&B songs, then becoming famous, as mentioned with a few television commercials in the 1980s.

What's great about this are two things: the music and the humor. It takes a number of viewings to catch most of the funny visuals and hear all the puns in this short tape. It's presented more as a regular TV program would be, with commercials interrupting it, news bulletins, promotions, etc. It's very clever material.

I remember all these old rock 'n roll classics, and they sound even better with these "guys" doing it! It's been 20 years since this first came out on VHS - where is the DVD?

Old classic - gotta keep the VHS player

Just another reason why I'm keeping my dusty old VHS player. Funny how VHS and Blu-ray are my favorites now. I never thought I'd find this California Raisins classic from my childhood, but here it is, street-fighting broccoli and all! If you didn't see this as a kid you might think it's lame and I'm crazy, but you're the one missing out. Great music. In fact, I'm going to go watch this again.
