I Can't Believe I'd Never Heard of this one before!!!I'm 16. My mother and I were watching a Rankin/Bass Christmas marathon. For years we had known and loved Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Peter Cottontail, and we'd seen a few minutes of Jack Frost here and there, but somehow we had let The Year Without a Santa Claus get passed up. Luckily we saw it this year and were thoroughly delighted; it's now among our favorites. This story was totally charming. Right from the beginning, those two dumb elves were funny. Mrs. Claus was awesome I recognized the voice of Hazel the maid! I ALWAYS knew Vixen was a female reindeer the only one on Santa's team, I might add. And Vixen is a central figure in this movie. She's adorable. A feminist Christmas special?! COOL! Santa and the elves travel to a hot southern town in Dixie that never gets any snow. Santa helps a non-believing but still very good little boy change his mind and believe in him (even though the boy doesn't know it's him!)Okay, okay, so I'm going to say what everyone else already said and knows: The best part of this, the show-stealing scenes, were those with Snowmiser and Heatmiser. The two constantly bickering brothers who seem kind of villanous but are actually pretty nice. (They seriously reminded me of my own brothers.) Their songs are SO catchy, they had my mom literally up and singing them while dancing up a storm. (This was, mind you, the first time we'd ever seen this!) Soo there you go. The children singing Blue Christmas to get Santa to come back to the job was a tender moment. And of course, the Mother Nature scene rocked the house. Again, we see a female taking the screen, and in her cute little house with a nice green lawn and rainbow too. Unlike some of the other stories in this 'family' of videos, this one doesn't-as someone pointed out-center on the historical meaning of Christmas. But it still gets its point across and manages to be a touching, enjoyable treat for all. And then there's the question, does it touch upon goddess-worshipping neo-paganism? Well, all I have to say is that never occured to me but if it does then ROCK ON RANKIN/BASS!! Or..well..you know what I mean. Keep being watched faithfully by fans each year. And the Miser Brothers can rock on, too. Ya gotta love it when Mother Nature starts talking about her two sons and they go calling her Mother dear. She tells Mrs. Claus: They gave you a hard time? And Mrs. Claus says, Yes, but I'm sure they didn't mean to And Mother Nature tells her honestly, Oh, yes they did! Great stuff. Great, great stuff.Check sJoan BennettLisa BrennerBedard, Michael, posters, Bedard, Michael posters, Contemporary Artists, Contemporary Artists posters, art prints, prints, lithographs, print, book, books, movies, dvd, dvds, soundtrack, soundtracks, music, where can i, buy, shop, get, find, search forReturns & ExchangesChocolateCoffee - ICoffee - IICoffee - IIICoffee - IVCuisine, Gourmet Visit Your Account to changeyour personal information. : 14.99bkdvd6008Noah's ArkQuantity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 20 25 30ProductionArt Print24 in. x 21 in.UnframedFramed / MountedLiving TogetherArt Print20 in. x 26 in.UnframedFramed / MountedCrossingArt Print26 in. x 24 in.UnframedFramed / MountedALSO VISITGameSpotGameFAQsWGamer DLXWindows XP ExtrasOnline CouponsTop of PageLiving TogetherArt Print20 x 26 inParis Hilton
