People like to look down on the Ewoks, but damn it, I loved them as a kid. I was 6 the summer Return of the Jedi came out in 1983, and when I saw it with my older brothers (who were true Star Wars fans back then), the Ewoks were my favorite parts of the film, since I wasn't too familiar with the other films at the time. I definitely was watching this TV movie when it premiered, and I remember I had a read-along storybook and album of the film. I also remember they did a sequel with Wilford Brimley, which was much darker, and had a few of the returning characters from the first movie dying early on.

This is funny. I was just watching this movie with my wife 3 days ago. I wish these commercials were in it like I remember when my dad recorded it for my brother and me back when our parents would take us to Mcdonald's to get us happy meals. I was 3 and he was 4. Movies like this had the mystique, warmth, and sense of adventure that doesn't exist in TV anymore. Even the commercials maybe cheesy, but they were wholesome. The nuclear family was appreciated back then and being a child back then is priceless. Everyone's nostalgia for this is such a pleasure to read. Makes the holidays feel as good as they did back then when watching those commercials. Merry Christmas!

I’ve been watching all these videos when posted but this one took me back because my dad recorded this when it came on. When I saw the ABC intro I was like OMG I REMEMBER THIS but when the Ewoks came in I teared up...Keep them coming❤️❤️

Huggies, Nestle, and McDonald's. That combination of sponsors sounds fitting for a movie made for Kids like this one. The animated animals in the Christmas McDonald's commercial remind me of the animals in the Disney movie, Bambi. I find your comment on #4 to be very funny. Grandpa sure hates Ewoks with a passion. ;)

Yet another reason why I always say 1984 was an awesome year! Even though I lived in OK at the time, I remember when the Ewok movie first premiered on ABC. I was at my Grandparents, and my Grandmother recorded the show for us to watch again whenever we wanted. She also made her famous Banana Pudding which was also a treat to enjoy while watching the movie. I miss those days. 😔 Had to shed a tear when the McDonald’s commercial came on. 😢 Thank You 🙏🏾

3:29 - This shot of all the toys reminds me of my best friend when I was growing up, who I think had every Masters of the Universe toy in existence. He was the kind of kid who always got every toy and video game console/game first, and usually around the time it came out.

Yay! My 80s sweet spot :). Love 1983-1987 the best. I am actually currently watching “Paper Dolls.” It’s the most 80s thing I’ve ever seen. Love it.

One could only imagine the reaction a person living in the 80s would have if they'd known the later models of those car phones they were carrying around in suitcases would do all the video and audio work for them of that video system.

Panasonic Video System-good for making your own music videos..i think Adam uses a similar setup on The Goldbergs The Ewok Adventure-a.k.a Caravan Of Courage(Lucasfilm declares this and the sequel Ewoks:The Battle For Endor to be officially canon..does this mean they will soon be seen on The Mandalorian..?) The Funniest Joke I Ever Heard-certainly wasnt among the ones told on this special Call To Glory-before there was FX's The Americans..this episode mustve been a precursor Three's A Crowd-show shouldve ended at Three's Company Who's The Boss-reboot supposedly is still happening,just wont be the same without Katherine Helmond :( 2010-good film,wish there wouldve been a film adaptation of 2061 Odyssey Three..R.I.P Douglas Rain(voice of HAL)

Battle for Endor was the better of the 2 Ewok movies, but this one has its moments. And if you have the DVD with the 2 movies on it consider yourself lucky. It's been out of print for a long time and goes for well over 100 dollars on ebay. Actor D.B. Sweeney @12:54 ?
