Rankin & Bass Presents: Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (O.G. Style Christmas L.O.V.E.)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: In the spirit of the Christmas season, I will not penalize Y.O.U. if the headline of this post did not instantly grab your attention and run a wide-eyed childlike smile straight across your adult face. If the title of this entry failed to send your criminally neglected inner child into a terrific frenzy (NOTE: I could and I probably should report Y.O.U. to BCW/CPS for inner child endangerment, but, alas, Y.O.U. get a pass ... lol) then I guarantee that the dope ass vintage videos will do the trick. Y.O.U. may not remember the names Rankin & Bass, but Y.O.U. most certainly know their work.

Founded by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass in the early 1960s as Videocraft International, Rankin/Bass Productions Inc. revolutionized stop-motion production art (AniMagic) and gave us such Christmas cartoon classics as Frosty the Snowman, The Little Drummer Boy and everybody's favorite Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Ohhhhhhhhhhh, it's all coming back to Y.O.U. now, huh? Yeah, sometimes we've gotta jump start the nostalgia around here ... lol. Good shit.
