This is a bit of a Christmas classic for me, got a used copy for just under 20 bucks on eBay today, I'm a happy camper!
Why pay just under $20? It's still available from Intrada (or MM where shipping is only a buck). You could have got a brand new copy for just over $20. The price being virtually the same that would have been my preference.
19.95 shipped from ebay beats all those options. And I'm in Canada.
Great score. Sounds nothing like Christmas though. And I'm sure it was temped with THE LAST STARFIGHTER. I'm always reminded of that when I play it. Newman's action/adventure/comedy scores are ace. I think the film is awful though.

It is truly a bad Christmas film, an embrace of everything commercial and shallow. I can usually give a slight pass to most Christmas films but this one is not one of them. Deck the Halls and Christmas with the Kranks are also a terrible films.
Oh, okay. It was unlikely to see the light of day again anyway, as the first go-round didn't sell out and was discontinued, to the best of my knowledge.
It's one of my favorite D. Newman (or any Newman) scores and it's a holiday classic. It's a pity that others don't agree.
Good themes and fun action music...
Yeah, I find it hard to believe that this rich, thematic, catchy score gets called "mediocure"....ah well, *I* think it's a fantastic disc and that's all that matters.
I played this last week. I still find it rather boring. Neither rich or catchy. He's really hot and cold with me. I love Operation Dumbo Drop, The Phantom and Galaxy Quest. But many other scores people sing his praises over I find dull and unmemorable like Jingle, Anastasia and DuckTails.

I’m still waiting for The Flintstones, one of my holy grails. Love that score.

I’d love to see The Flintstones released someday. Wonderful score.
