Ho Ho Oh No! We're taking a critical look at the classic, 1964, Rankin / Bass film, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, which is widely acknowledged to be the First Holiday Special (becoming a recurring staple of Christmastime television), and the First Stopmotion / Claymation Holiday Special. Rudolph, Hermey, Santa, Donnor, Yukon Cornelius, misfit toys... BURL IVES! This flick is a trip!
