The Little Drummer Boy (1968) Christmas Story

[Jennafu832]

This is the scariest movie in the world... It made me scared of the desert when I was a child, as well as of ancient times. I mean, Aaron roams around by himself, with no one in sight other than that horrible Ben Haramed and his little stooge. I was afraid that bandits were going to come and kill my parents, like what happened to Aaron. I was afraid of Ben his scary little sidekick. What a horrible thing to make him perform with a painted smile on his face, then be chased out of town. Ugh.

Love this movie..

I always felt this was the darkest and weakest (effects wise) of the R/B specials. I feel that the story would have been stronger if the lamb had been injuerd by the centurion earlier, allowing Aaron's hate and rage fester strongly, making his transformation more visceral. I also think that his drumming should have come AFTER the lamb's healing, as a way for the boy to give thanks and repent. But...that's just me.

@Tanyableu Ahh, someone who understands narrative and character development...

[Tanyableu]

@CoyKiyote Well, I do like to pretend to be a writer. XD

The true meaning of CHRISTmas will never come back at the national level. America is becoming more Godless by the day. It's only in the hearts of an ever shrinking few that the trur meaning will continue. Every year they show Rudolph, Frosty, & others, but not The Little Drummer Boy because of the Christ story. I'm surprised they still show Charlie Brown's special even though they read from the Bible in that cartoon.

Whoever posted about this material belonging to someone else, please, stop. This is one of most amazing things I've ever seen. It touched my heart so much to know that I have a Savior that came up on this earth as a babe, would become the ultimate saving grace for this entire world. This touched my heart so much, that I actually cried. Those who are meek shall inherit the kingdom of God. Amen!

A much-forgotten gem. Thank you for posting.

I can't believe you uploaded content that someone else owns onto Youtube. Still, I actually like this Rankin Bass special. Just wish that some people can actually like them or understand them as much as I do.

Thank you for posting! I have been looking for this for the past month and could not find it anywhere, internet or elsewhere. Thanks again! What a blessing!

To this day, I still get goosebumps and cry at the end of this. Especially, when the 1st Beatitude is mentioned as the final line.

@Actors317 I remember this from when I was so small. I think they took it off the air during the season and replaced with snowman and santa. but i loved this movie the most
