A Claymation Christmas Celebration' was one of the trio of seasonal TV specials created by clay animation expert Will Vinton, and deservedly won an Emmy. The range of effects that are explored through this claymation production is mind-boggling! It's a good-natured, spirited production hosted by odd-couple dinosaurs Rex and Herb who educate us on a series of perennial Christmas songs, enacted by a wonderful bunch of Claymation characters that have a unique way of "Molding" into our hearts.
