I just, I’m not sure what they were thinking with this one. It makes sense that they ended their Christmas claymation spectacular’s here.
- Leprechaun's Christmas Gold (1981) A not-so-classic claymation short film. Another great screenplay written by Romeo Muller. Just kidding. An Irish sailor is stranded on a magical island filled with Leprechauns?
- Pinocchio’s Christmas (1980) Rankin and Bass try their style with Pinocchio. Not their best claymation Christmas special. Pinocchio can’t buy his dad a present.
- Rudolph & Frosty’s Christmas in July (1979) This one is a little dark, but still a Christmas movie nonetheless. Another warlock comes into be ⏤ Winterbolt.
