Don't forget that Yukon Cornelius was convicted of animal cruelty in 1987 for his forcible removal of the Bumble's teeth. Thank you PETA!

An old Irish Blessing - "May those who love us, love us; and if they do not love us, may God turn their hearts; and if He does not turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles, that we may know them by their limping" -
I wondered what happened to "Fame and Fortune". Its not on my soundtrack album either.
Cool facts Scott!

Favorite thread of the year hands down----Merry Xmas
"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

Another question. Was that black stuff Donner puts on Rudolph's nose deer poop?Comment

I always felt the same way about that Santa...what the heck was his problem? I was glad he was replaced in the Rankin-Bass universe later on by the Mickey Rooney version of Kris Kringle (Santa Claus is Coming to Town/Year Without a Santa Claus/Rudolph's Shiny New Year/Rudolph & Frosty's Christmas in July).Santa is a mean miser in the Rudolph special. I came to this conclusion at about age 10 or so. I still watch it, but Santa is one grumpy SOB in that one. The other reindeers are cruel and sadistic. Two of our favorite holiday specials (Rudolph and Charlie Brown/Peanuts) are full of mean, spiteful characters. Merry Christmas!
I didn't care for Mrs. Claus either and was glad when she was replaced by the vav-va-voom Jessica the schoolteacher (SCICTT). But eventually she aged into the Shirley Booth version (YWASC)....bleech!Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

The Year without a Santa Claus is probably my favorite Rankin/Bass holiday special.
They don't play this one much anymore either. I had to go buy the dvd so my kids would know who Mr. Heat and Cold Meiser were whenever I felt like singing there little diddy's around this time of year."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

I watched Rudolph the other night too, unfortunately I didn't find it wuite as entertaining as I once did, Rudolph now strikes me as a little whiny and annoying. I also watched Santa Claus is Coming to Town, which I still love, mostly because of Fred Astaire.Comment

Hahaha This is a Funny thread you guys are killing me......I feel the same way I'm glad they got rid of that Santa and Mrs.Claus....maybe his Clause was up or he croaked after gaining so much weight in one night...lol!.......The Mickey Rooney and Shirley Booth versions are my Favs...Although Rankin/Bass did another version that was horrible.. based on Frank L Baums book.Comment

I always found it annoying that the network version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town cut Jessica's song "My World Is Beginning Today". She would sing like 3 lines and that's it. I don't know if it's full length on the dvd since I don't own it (yet). They are all a must see during the holidays.sigpic WANTED: Boxed, Carded and Kresge Carded WGSHComment

I wanted to like that one, but egads it's long boring and dull as dishwater. No charm at all.Although Rankin/Bass did another version that was horrible.. based on Frank L Baums book.
The whole song is on my DVD version.I always found it annoying that the network version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town cut Jessica's song "My World Is Beginning Today". She would sing like 3 lines and that's it.
