Rankin-Bass Heaven

I love old Rankin-Bass holiday specials. I watched "The Year Without a Santa Clause" the other night and still LOVE the Miser Brothers (I always kind of wanted to be Snow Miser for Halloween).



Of course there's this one, I think this is the first feature that was made...



I never could figure out how Rankin-Bass thought that all children had huge overbites.

OOOhhhhh, just found this, a remix by the Big Bad Voodoo Daddies! Not bad at all, might have to Itunes it...

Oh my golly yes! I loved watching these specials every year. I did watch them again on ABC Family, but they seemed to be really short.

Maybe it was just me, but of course my favorite is and always will be the classic Mad Monster Party? which used to be around Halloween when I was a kid.

I own this on DVD and it is awesome!
