At the North Pole, the Christmas rush is on. Everyone from elves to reindeer are merrily preparing for Santa Claus’ yearly sleigh ride. Everyone…except Santa! Feeling forgotten by the children of the world, old St. Nick decides to skip his gift-giving journey and take a vacation. Eager to help, Mrs. Claus and two spunky little elves set out to see where all the season’s cheer has disappeared to. Aided by a magical snowfall, they reawaken the spirit of Christmas in children’s hearts – and put Santa back in action. Shirley Booth and Mickey Rooney (as Mrs. And Mr. Claus) are the starring voices in this wonderful Yuletide favorite. Year: 1974

Customer Rating: Summary: THREE GREAT RANKIN & BASS FAVORITES ON A "MISERS" BUDGET! Comment: Yes, it's that time of years again, when anyone old enough to remember these beloved Rankin & Bass classics will be reliving childhood memories watching these shows during the holiday season. It just never seemed like Christmas until Rudolph, Frosty and the rest of the animated holiday gang came on TV each year.
The great new is most of these are available to buy on DVD! Which means you can watch them whenever you want and they look better than ever! This review is for the older release of this holiday special which looks crisp and clean with vibrant colors. There are no special features, but the inclusion of two more Rankin & Bass specials 'Nestor, The Long Eared Christmas Donkey' and 'Rudolph's Shiny New Year' more than makes up for it.
So join Heat Miser, his brother Snow Miser,Rudolph,Nestor, Santa and the rest of the Rankin & Bass holiday gang for some very fond memories and Holiday fun! Customer Rating: Summary: you have to see nestor! Comment: one of the best Christmas stories of all time and even better, its come with 2 more!!! so worth it!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliant Claymation Holiday Musical Comment: TYWSC is an animation masterpiece by the remarkable Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Rankin/Bass had a prolific stretch of productions using stop-motion puppet animation ("Animagic"), beginning with the ever-popular Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in 1962.
Many of these Rankin/Bass "Animagic" productions are interesting on several levels, since they often pulled the holiday away from religious moorings (with a couple of exceptions) and contributed to the huge holiday commercial machine (music, decorations, TV, now video and DVD) but at the same time celebrated the secular-humanist qualities of Christmas, such as cheer and pleausure of giving or sharing for their own sake. TYWSC, like some of these others, is in fact a pagan, feminist and still moralizing tour de force.
