The Life & Times of Santa Claus

isnt that the movie where santa invents the concept of toys in the 12th century?

Yup. Also based on a book written by the Author of the Wizard of oZ. Animated in Japan too, so it's technically anime.

I like when they called it Animotion. Re watching it, the only clue it was made in Japan was the Japanese Snowman with the bucket on it's head.

Is there really nothing to day about this? The character designs are outstandingly inventive & really dilate the imagination.

Japs use buckets for snowman hats? Huh, that's a neat little trivia fact.

One of the more underrated christmas specials.

Also, why the fuck is there no big DVD collection of Rankin/Bass stuff yet, everything is on its own separate DVD bundled with shit you don't want.

We haven't had spooky month and turkey month yet, we can't just skip to Christmas month!

Not sure about you OP but I prefer the animated film, the scene when they gave Nicholas his immortality it's really touching
