Ep. 143: Rankin' Rankin/Bass - Part 2

We continue our trek through a frosty winter wonderland with six more Rankin/Bass holiday productions, adding to our mixed bag of Christmas goodies with some timeless holiday classics and some other unwieldy misfires long since forgotten. The seasonal canon expands here, as we see the first of several entries in which the directing duo continues the mythos of their previously established works, bringing back the same interpretations of characters like Santa Claus, Frosty, and Rudolph for properly fleshed out sequels. There's also more to be seen of the Little Drummer Boy, and some new faces like Nestor, the long-eared Christmas donkey. Dive in with us and see if these additional features live up to the perennial power of their indelible progenitors.
