Not so sure about teaching kids to be different, but it was definitely a humorous take on the Universal Monsters and it appealed to kids as well as adults in a way that no other animated feature could.
There again, that's Rankin\Bass productions for you-they also brought us Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty The Snowman and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.
True masters of their craft, and Tim Burton, while good, could only HOPE to be THIS good. Mad Monster Party! \,,/
when I was a kid, this was my main movie! frenchescas song "Never was a love like mine" is my all time fave! i usta do the mummy dance too! lol. and you gotta love the hunch back dance...and the duck noises through out the hole thing!
OMG Halloween fun when I was a kid --before VCRs and DVDs. I now own a copy of this gem on DVD. And I recently saw a model of Yetch for sale on Ebay! "It's the mummy!!" So much fun! Thanks!
It's the mummy!!!

@JordanHelmer Yea I wasn't expecting an ad showing another ugly Hyundai, might as well just watch some VHS's with all these ads online.

The visual are great, but the movie is tedious
Too Rankin/Bass with weak jokes and innumerable and tedious musical numbers.

Wow...that is SO bad. I love Rankin Bass, but holy crap, what a way to date a fun little movie. I don't think I've ever seen this one.

I saw this film when I was about 3. When I was 13 and first saw the Beatles, I thought they stole their act from this film!
