| Rankin Bass Stop Motion Christmas Specials |
| What is your favorite Rankin Bass Christmas special? |
| Brian’s Notes |
| The Rudolph Era (1964) |
| Those Christmas songs you loved in this special, including the title song, were orchestrated by a jew. Silver and Gold…Silver and Gold…thanks Johnny Marks…the most jewish sounding name ever. |
| Except for Burl Ives all voices/songs were performed by Candians…what is that all aboot? |
| Favorite Scene in Rudolph? |
| Joel’s Notes |
| My favorite is “Santa Clause is Coming To Town”. I always liked the idea of a young Santa and Mrs. Clause. |
| Plus, Fred Astaire as narroator and delivery man is pretty classy. |
| Kill me now Rudolph |

| Hammond’s Notes |
| Rudolph’s voice is a a kid, the girl’s is like a trained 30 yr old. |
| sound pallet get old after watching a few in a row. |
| The animation style is a mixed bag, sometimes it’s really smooth and pretty, other times, it’s pretty rudamenrty |
| I can tell they had a stable of talent they pulled from like Rocky and Bullwinkle. But I like rocky and friend’s voices better. |
