It's one of the more interesting entries to the Rankin/Bass canon.

The original was written by the writer of the Wizard of Oz, so its a fantasy movie rather than being a Christmas popsong movie. It has a lot more in common with the Rankin-Bass Hobbit than most of the christmas specials.

Honestly I wish they'd animated it like they later did Hobbit and Return of the King.

Both The Hobbit and Return of the King actually came before The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus, which was the last stop motion production made by Rankin-Bass.

I notice that a lot of the demons use the sound effects of kaiju from the Godzilla movies, namely the dragon uses Rodan's roars and the flying demon uses Mothra's screeches. Was copyright not a thing back in the 80s

That may be the case because The Last Unicorn and Return of the King use some sound effects from Godzilla and Ultraman(The former outright uses Godzilla's roar in one scene)

you somehow managed to forget both Winterbolt and King Awgwa in this list

>>88695666
interesting minor fact Satan Claus, the whole reason the earlier special Santa Claus Is Coming To Town even exists is because at the time it was made Rankin-Bass had wanted to do Life & Adventures of Santa Claus but couldn't get the rights to it, so they went and made their own version of a Santa Claus origin story, and then they eventually got to do Life & Adventures anyways so they came out ahead twice

Winterbolt and the Bumble don't count because they either lose their powers or turn good at the end. Jack Frost is still a selfish dick though so he still counts as a villain though.

I did forget the Awgwas though.

Maybe, but something about this one from Little Drummer Boy hits me hard, even though its not the best of their work, it has a strong emotional arc for the main character.

Everybody likes the Miser Brothers, but nobody knows how to capitalize on that. I guarantee the live action Year Without a Santa Clause was made just for the Misers.

>>88697005
Little Drummer Boy is one of those movies that barely ever gets played, like Nester or Pinnochio's Christmas. I can't say I've seen it much.

The sequel gave us one of my favorite songs, though.

I really like the 2D version too. It's comfy.

I just wish we had another adaptation with a fuckhuge budget so we could get the full-scale version of the battle described in Baum's book.

Like originally, it wasn't just one dragon, the Awgwas called in like 300 fucking dragons to help them out.

Man, imagine a lush hand-drawn one.

I loved the designs in the R&B one (especially the Wind Demon looking like he's made of sticks and leaves,) but if they'd been able to but that eye to some nice traditional animation it'd have been 10/10.
