Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

So, does Mrs. SFDebris know you've been ogling a 50 year old stop motion animation model of a redhead? And since this special came out in 1970, I do mean 50 years.
If Chuck or a mod reads this feel free do delete my account. I would do it myself but I don't seem to be able to find a delete account option. phpBB should have such an option but I guess this isn't stock phpBB.

The original nannystate killjoy. Hero of de Blasios and Moonbeams everywhere.

The only story problem for me was having the penguin at the wrong pole. Sorry, some things just push into being unrealistic. ;)

This was a nice surprise! I'd forgotten most of this special. Thanks, SFDebris. :)

Dunno if we have any One Piece fans here but for a long time I suspected that Burgermeister Meisterburger may have been an inspiration for Wapol.

Pretty sure Winter Warlock is the the inspiration for Ice King of Adventure Time too.

This was delightful. It always was my favorite of the Rankin Bass stop motion specials. I even made a point of watching it a couple weeks back.

Minor error at the end. The Life and Adventures of Santa Clause isn't in the same continuity as their other Christmas movies, it's a standalone (and reasonably faithful) adaptation of a children's book from the turn of the century.
