Every Christmas Stop-Motion Special Reviewed in MANY Words!
Added 2018-12-25 16:25:28 +0000 UTCMerry Christmas!
Here's my unfiltered, 2am on Christmas Morning thoughts on all the Rankin-Bass stop motion Christmas Specials! (And movies that aren't Christmas-themed. And many movies that aren't Rankin-Bass! What is this marathon?)
As per usual this is off-the-cuff and explicit. Also... spoilers? Does anyone care about Rankin-Bass movie spoilers? We all know Rudolph guides the sleigh, right?
I actually missed one or two Rankin-Bass holiday specials including a Halloween movie call Mad, Mad Monsters which actually kind of bums me out. It was old enough that when they made it it's possible they still gave a damn about trying! :D

Walu-rudolph's name is Scratcher, and he is TERRIFYING. I only saw a picture, but if I had watched that movie as a kid, that f***er would've made an appearance in every one of my nightmares.

2019-01-19 04:46:20 +0000 UTCThis is my first time even bothering with the patreon panhandle, but I wanted to tell you that if you made a video or audio product where you abridged one of these movies with your on-the-nose interpretation of how they come across, I could see it being wildly popular. I would make it popular....as I could. "so this is basicly" but under another moniker or something.

2018-12-26 16:58:51 +0000 UTCI have not seen Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer. Those stop motion movies just always looked janky and weird to me so I always avoided them.

2018-12-26 01:00:54 +0000 UTCI quite liked the RB Rudolph, Frosty, Santa Claus (Coming to Town and Year Without), Peter Cottontail and the sequels that were done by Rankin Bass and not by other companies (Shiny New Year and Christmas In July though not as much) for more riffing value than anything. also Frosty Returns...I'm surprised you liked it that much. I do too.
