Hey, 'Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer' is a classic! Has been for many years. So much so that it's a synonymous with Xmas specials. Not to mention marketable. From Xmas ornaments, toys to collectibles. Surprised to see that on the top DVD ranking in Japan. I didn't know it was popular in Japan.

I love this feature. I had a animation teacher (who still works here at the college where I work) who was a storyboard artist on the show. When you think of 'Rankin/Bass', you can only think holiday goodness.

Such nostalgia like you wouldn't believe.

The correct term for this type of media is "stop motion" puppetry.

Rudoph was animated in Japan? No kidding! I never knew!

Does this mean we can call it anime now? (Kidding, kidding.)
