Somethin' kinda interesting I heard not to long ago. I was watching Rudolph at my Grandma's house, and she told me her brother was friends with Burl Ives. I thought that was pretty cool...
@AaronsGame Robert L. May created Rudolph in 1939 as an assignment for Montgomery Ward. The retailer had been buying and giving away coloring books for Christmas every year and it was decided that creating their own book would save money. May considered naming the reindeer "Rollo" and "Reginald" before deciding upon using the name "Rudolph".[3
I was nine when this came out. It wouldn't be Christmas without watching this. It's funny how quickly it goes by now. I didn't remember the extra part toward the end with Yukon tasting peppermint, because they stopped showing it after the first couple of years.
When this and the other Christmas specials came out on dvd, I bought them. As a single guy, never intending to have kids. I bought them just because I Wanted them. Well, years later, my daughters LOVE Rankin and Bass. :-)
Absolutely perfectly put gandy74! For that brief moment, it's 1964 again. And yes, I tear up, but they are tears of pure joy. How lucky I've been to have had a great, great childhood. ;-)
The slow fade into color at :21 and the accompanying lullaby-like music alone of this special has more child-like innocence,wonder and pure Christmas magic than ALL the contrived,manipulative,agenda-driven holiday crap corporate Hollywood has churned out for the last 20-25 years.
i love this so much that i almost cry, such good times and memories, no you tube eveerthing was simple, you made ur own fun.plus the storms were great back then. were talkin early 70,s
I LOVE THIS VERSION MOVIE THANK GOD I LOVE YOU PEOPLES THIS IS MOVIE RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER MOVIE EVEN BETTER THANK YOU PEOPLE I LOVE YOU PEOPLES
This came out the year I was born, and I've probably watched it at least 43 times(that I can remember). I watch it every year, and I still enjoy it immensely, every time. :)
It is amazing how these (Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, The Little Drummer Boy , Santa Clause is Comming to Town..ect).... were put together so long ago. A lot of time and tallent was put into anamations back then and they still look good today...........They do bring back memories of my childhood/infant days when only local channel were on tv and you had to use "rabbit ears" with tin foil for a better reception......but that was sooooo long ago.....Merry Christmas
December 24 at 8:00 in the morning a 14 year old boy by the name of scott johnson was found dead. Doctors coulsnt come up with the cause of his death. His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened. Turns out he was still signed into MySpace. She found he had gone to sleep after he had read and didnt respond to a chain letter. If you dont repost this to six videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. Sorry, dont wanna die
Thank you sooo much for posting this...we tried to watch Rudolph on ABC Family and it was a newer one about Rudolph and the Misfit Toys. I thought we had missed it!!! Thanks!!!!!
id say my fav besides this and frosty cartoons, except frosty and rudolph's christmas in July, would be year without a santa claus, twas a night before christmas, and santa claus came to town. movies not included.
I actually remember as a kid watching this and all the Rankin/Bass specials on vhs. I loved them so much, I used to watch them all year round. :) I can't believe I haven't seen this one in so many years, I love this special so much.
@yocuzz100 I'm there, too...I love these old classic Christmas shows! I have my own personal copy on DVD of Rudolf from 1964 & I watch it every year. Life is like a roll of toilet paper...the closer that you get to the end of the roll, the faster that life goes by!
@yocuzz100 I'm 50 and I still remember these old Christmas cartoons from when I was kid. I wasn't Christmas time until Burl Ives sledded down the hill on his Norelco razor. I seen some antiques show about 2 years ago, some guy brought in the little plastic dolls used in this cartoon. He was friends with either Rankin or Bass. The little Burl Ives doll melted in his moms attic :(
@clintonearlwalker Holy smokes!.... The Norelco commercial!! I forgot about that one!! Berl Ives always looked like Cernol Sanders to me. Did I spell that right?? It's olnly been 40+ years!!
@yocuzz100 Well you were close, it's "Burl" Ives, and "Colonel" Sanders, I have spell check built into my browser and I'm a spelling Nazi (> . <) Anyway, I love this cartoon, the Grinch, Frosty, Little Drummer Boy, and a few others, I love watching them on YouTube. Cheers, and Merry Christmas!!
@clintonearlwalker Holy smokes!.... The Norelco commercial!! I forgot about that one!! Berl Ives always looked like Cernol Sanders to me. Did I spell that right?? It's only been 40+ years!!
I was born in 1989 and my mother had all of these Christmas videos including this one and I have been in love with them since then. For me to not be born in that time and to like these movies is already a great impact. These movies are one of the main reasons I can't wait until the month of December.... Because usually they show these movies on TV including "The Little Drummer Boy, Frosty the Snowman, Jack Frost, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and etc"
Watching these claymation christmas movies is a tradition at my house and I love it. I bought all of these as well as some of the cartoon versions so when I have my own kids they can always watch these too!
I Still Love This Movie, This is one of my Favorite Stop-Motion Animaiton Christmas Shows, I Still Remember when this was on CBS, Sitting in front of the Tv, with a chocolate chip cookie and a cup of hot chocolate, The christmas tree would be on, I'm so looking forword for Christmas.
This show made Christmas so real when I was a child. Great memories of youth,
and when Mom and Dad were still alive. Life goes by so quickly!!! Try to enjoy the holidays with loved ones, you never know how long you have them, or they have you.
I Just Love This Movie, I Remember watching this when It was on CBS, I Remember Sitting On The Floor In Front Of The TV, With a chocolate chip cookie, and a cup of hot chocolate, and The Christmas Tree would be one, and just watch this movie, I Hope when my neices are older, I'll get them into watching these christmas movies, like this one, so that they'll enjoy them, like i have before them.
Something is wrong with 1 or more people.

It must have taken forever to make the movie because 1) You have to make the characters out of a special material
2) You have to make probably more than 200 clips!
and last 3) You have to edit all the clips together
Anyway I love this movie so much! (Partly because I'm 9!) This is the only version I atch.
