[cstoczyn]

LOL

[Montork]

so bad its good! and the most awesomely deep metaphorical speech is from the antagonist!

[TheBenCarroll]

''Come now. Let's be grown up about this thing!'' Pepe Le Pew said that in For Scent-imental Reasons (194), also directed by Chuck Jones.

[bhardevust]

I don't know, man. I think Mr. Wolf was on to something there. Can you imagine what kind of money you could get today on eBay for some of 1978's favorite Christmas toys - encased in the original Gloopstik? Thanks alot, Ann.

[RetroToledo]

@bhardevust This whole special was about crushing fanboy tendencies!

[BelatedCommiseration]

Drat! Foiled by the power of love!!! That wolf was all talk, I bet he was never a fully paid up member of the league of evildoers! You wouldn't get Dick Cheney moaning like a pussy if he was stuck in gloopstick...he'd just declare war on suspected gloopstik strongholds. One fairly cryptic thing that made me scratch my head a bit when young, at the end the wolf says he might prefer goodness to badness, but no one knows for sure unless they try both...what does that mean? Mixed message?

[Montork]

@BelatedCommiseration go on kids! stick it to the man! go bad or go home!

[BelatedCommiseration]

@Montork As long as you go good again afterwards obviously the wolf is saying its perfectly ok to do whatever evil crap you want. At least thats my interpretation of his comment anyway...but luckily Raggedy Anne heads him off with a hasty 'err...yeah thanks for that...anyway...Merry Christmas!' before he can finish his train of thought.

[Mirani2]

@BelatedCommiseration no mixed message. The cartoon just sucks. The good kind of sucky that is :)

[BelatedCommiseration]

@Mirani2 Naa...I believe Chuck Jones was trying to get a message of evil through all the christmas scmultz that he was required to put in...I can just imagine him now tickling his beard with delight at the evilness. I'm sure right now he is dropping anvils on the devils head in hell and loving every minute of it!

[cstoczyn]

@Mirani2 No, It's Not!

[RetroToledo]

@BelatedCommiseration Who knows, Chuck Jones got too auteur by this point in his life to care what others thought.

[BelatedCommiseration]

@RetroToledo True...I mean he did appear in his well chair in six degrees of seperation with Will Smith about a decade or so after this so maybe like you say he was just starting to full embrace the auteur within. Also nice to know someone is still keeping their eye out for their gloopstick guaranteed present by the fireplace...even if the festrive season is now over a whole two months gone! Whats happened to it all?!!!

[dog453679]

Okay. So I was a little bit mean when I was laughing at that wolf stuck in the Christmas tree( Gloopstick, that is.) No one deserves to be stuck in that stuff forever. Not even him. I'm glad love conquers all, especially synthetic plastic. He's lucky enough to change his ways. I guess there's some good in him after all. Still, he did looked kinda funny in that getup. LOL!

[dog453679]

I.. HAHAHA! gotta agree with Andy with this one! HAHAHAHAHA! 0:43 is w-where you... HEE! HEE! HEE!.. find the... HAHAHAHAHAHA!.... "B-Big Bad Christmas Tree!" HAHAHAHA! I-I can't even look at him without laughing my ass off! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (falls off the desk and on the floor laughing.) L-let's continue with special! LOL! (wipes tear.)

[drinklikesinatra]

Does anyone else find it a bit creepy that Santa sleeps with his reindeer? Where's Mrs. Claus?

[RetroToledo]

@drinklikesinatra Animal husbandry can get kinda freaky!

[Stephen10528]

In the end he becomes a big good wolf like Loopey De Loop.

[madamedementia1]

The clip got stuck at 4.22

[tannin13]

what a pussy

[Pocockable]

@tannin13

Isn't a pussy a cat? What's this got to do with cats?

[discoweasel1977]

Thank you for wishing me good luck.

[discoweasel1977]

I really don't want my Christmas presents sealed in Gloopstick because nobody can't play with them.

[Stephen10528]

@discoweasel1977 Don't you mean nobody can?

[hell5309]

"...I'm going to be a Christmas tree all my life!"

Sure. Worry abou that when the Gloopstick will make you die a painful death from not being able to excrete your own waste. (Frankly I'm suprised it didn't suffocate him.)

[discoweasel1977]

@hell5309 Do you know what I want for Christmas this year? A set of tennis racquets. All because I got chosen to play tennis the 2011 Special Olympics World Games in Athens, Greece next June. Can't you believe that?

[hell5309]

@discoweasel1977 Congratulations. Hope you win.

[discoweasel1977]

@hell5309 I'm a Special Olympics athlete for real.

[hell5309]

@discoweasel1977 I never said you weren't. 

[discoweasel1977]

@hell5309 I'm very impressed for what you wrote to me about that I'm going to Greece for the World Games.

[hell5309]

@discoweasel1977 You're welcome.  And like I said, I hope you do well.

[Stephen10528]

@hell5309 Waist. Anyway why are you surprised it didn't suffocate him? It's just a cartoon.

[hell5309]

@Stephen10528 No, waste, as in his own excrement.

I was making an ironic joke about the fact that his predicament would have been a lot worse than it looked.

[cstoczyn]

@hell5309 I Get It

[discoweasel1977]

Good thing Alexander Graham Wolf have changed his personality of being good.

[anubisx]

ah the memories. :) i hope youtube keeps this on forever. i want my nephews and nieces to see this. as well as my own kids<3

[discoweasel1977]

I think Alexander Graham Wolf deserves to be in his own mess of being stuck in Gloopstik forever.

[hell5309]

@discoweasel1977 If that's your attitude, I hope you don't expect God to forgive you every time you mess up.

[discoweasel1977]

@hell5309 What I meant was Raggedy Ann and Andy saved Christmas.

[hell5309]

@discoweasel1977 I understand what you're saying, but the thing is, I was making a joke about how this cartoon makes a mockery of the laws of physics. (I say that because you may have thought I was breathing a sigh of relief instead of cracking a joke.)

[FishDemon00]

I really wish both holiday specials featuring Raggedy Ann & Andy come to DVD. Don't you?

[zorroazulapex]

So, they're all just going to walk home?

[MovieRatIan]

@zorroazulapex No, no that'd be silly

....they're skipping of course

[Glaivester]

The part of this that I remember the most vividly is the gloopstick self-destruct sequence.

[barulez]

Thank you for uploading this. I missed this special for a very long time. I loved old times xmas specials.

THANK YOU!

[JA268]

0:26 is funny

[jamesnoble07]

I remember this one when i was a kid, save that one for december,

[Technus]

I"m surprised Wolf is weeping that he's stuck as a Christmas tree and not the fact that he can't move.

[xohottbabexo]

I feel bad about alexander crying.

[cstoczyn]

@xohottbabexo Poor Alexander

[hell5309]

Love conquers all...including high density polymers.

[RushaiTheSamurai]

That made me giggle. :P

[discoweasel1977]

@hell5309 I agree with you. No kid would love their Christmas present sealed in Gloopstick.

[hell5309]

@discoweasel1977 I wasn't talking about that specifically, but okay.

[megarouge2001]

@hell5309 You made me snort.

[hell5309]

@megarouge2001 I just like how the same voice actress who played Rocket J. Squirrel played Raggedy Ann in this special.

[megarouge2001]

@hell5309 Oh yeah, she did tons of voices.

[Mirani2]

@hell5309 yes, June Foray. She also did the grandmother in Mulan

[hell5309]

@Mirani2 Huh. Never would have guessed.

[cstoczyn]

@Mirani2 Long Live June Foray!!!!

[cstoczyn]

@hell5309 MMM HMM

[Montork]

i love you big bad wolf, your so soppy and pathetic!
