It's been ages so I don't remember where any of this outrage might have been focused. Looking at the "special" bell in the video upthread, I'd imagine that people might take issue with that as well. But at the same time, if we based everything off of today's so called sensibilities, I doubt we ever get Rudolph. I don't want to live in a world without Rudolph.

He cited Gumby and Pokey (which was called Stop-Motion technique) as his inspiration. He just took it to new levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Not clay... I always thought it was done in clay. But impressive: https://mashable.com/2014/12/06/rudolph-the-red-nosed-reindeer-tv-special-facts/#BSo5_ry8PiqF 9. It took 24 frames to create one second of filmed animation. WOW! The ***** over, lied to them, The Misfits in the original: In the original special that aired in 1964, Rudolph, Hermey and Yukon Cornelius promise to return to visit Misfit Island, then never do so. This set fans into such a fuss that Rankin/Bass responded to their angry letters by changing the script. In 1965, the special included a short scene in which Santa and the reindeer deliver the Misfits to new homes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
