I was always told that the better not cry thing was about crying because you don't get your way. It didn't count if you cried because you were sad or hurt.
I liked this one as a little kid, but it left me wondering how Kris turned from a well-meaning home invader into the Rudolph-traumatizing douchebag from the other film.
@Zelos Wilder Same goes with Jessica when you think about it...At least in "Year Without A Santa", Santa had the excuse of feeling burnt out and dejected by the world.
I shit you not, this whole time I thought that song was literally about teaching the warlock how to literally walk cuz I thought he would use his magic to get around and never walked
@@beybladerkid5489 he might have been taught about animals just like he was taught how to do math or make toys. I don’t live in a place where there are elephants but I’m still aware that elephants exist.
Fun Fact: The Great Auk was the original "penguin" ie, the first bird to carry that name. It was transferred to the southern bird after the northern species was toast.
@@beybladerkid5489 same way the guy at the opening knows the letters before opening them and knows everything about Santa, omniscience. Which is also how Santa knows everything everyone else does.
Decorating the Christmas tree whilst watching this has been a Christmas tradition for my family since I was a kid, even though I’m English and no-one else here seems to have heard of it! I think it was on the bbc once when I was young, we had recorded it on vhs and would watch it every year, we managed to find it on dvd a couple of years back too! Still love it now!
The Winter Warlock probably created that otherwise useless door to prevent an avalanche of fake snow from piling up within the confines of that incredibly small distance between the dangerous mountain and the children below awaiting their presents thereby eliminating an added element of difficulty for Kris to traverse said dangerous mountain.
I was hoping you would say something about the if you sit on my lap today thing. My roommate, her boyfriend, my ex-boyfriend (My ex and I were still friends), and I were decorating our door for a contest in our hall. The boys were helping because my roommate is short and I had just gotten out of the hospital and the doctors said I shouldn't do too much, and We had this playing on the TV. when "if you sit on my lap today" started to play we all exchanged a look that said, "this wasn't creepy when we were little but now...mmm I don't know".
So what's your score for the life and times of santa claus? and which story is right? that is a legit question. What IS a Penguin doing there? Penguins are ONLY found in the Sothern Hemisphere. where as seals depending on there species are found lots of places.
Your question about why anyone would leave a child to Master Meisterburger reminds me of the CinemaSins Harry Potter recurring question "Why did Dumbledore/McGonagall/Hagrid/etc think it was okay to leave Harry with the Dursleys?"
At least Dumbledore had a magic bs reason (Lily's protection apparently needed the presence of a blood relative, Petunia, to keep charged). What's Mama Claus' excuse?
Yes, the Rankin Bass specials are full of a number of little quirks we notice as adults, but I still find them entertaining enough to watch every Christmas. But the thing I have asked since I was a kid. Now that the reindeer can fly the Kringles can fly out of prison. But HOW did they get out of their cells. Remember, the magic feed corn can't dissolve prison walls.
Well, yeah, giving 1,000,000 kids a toy once a year is more feasible than giving 1,000,000 kids a toy once a month, much less once a week, for example.
Life and Adventures of Santa Claus is a beautiful stop-motion movie with Pagan origins of Santa Claus...so that's where he gets the Mantle of Immortality.
They explain why he was surprised at the penguin, since it's on the opposite end of the planet from where one would expect it. The big sin in this show that I was hoping you'd address is how Kris chooses to marry Jessica on Christmas Eve... Then later chooses that same night as the once-per-year toy delivery date. "Sorry honey, I only work one night a year and it's an all-nighter, so I've selected our *wedding anniversary* to leave you sitting home alone the entire night." Smooth move.
Has 'The Year Without Santa Claus' been done already? It's my favourite Christmas movie/Christmas TV special. Mainly just for the Miser Brothers and their songs.
7:40 I've actually been waiting for a sin on this moment of this movie ever since I first watched CinemaSins nearly a decade ago. This was anticlimactic...
10:51 This must be a trademark of Rankin-Bass, to have a musical number that wastes time and goes nowhere. Like. “The Year Without a Santa Claus,” Mrs Claus sings for 2 minutes how she could dress up as Santa and do the deliveries…and at the end, she decides to not go through with it!
Love this movie, I watch it with my sister every year. I'm a man now, Tanta." Never fails to make us laugh. Every year we watch it, it's that line and the "kiss a toy song" and we lose it laughing at how uncomfortable it gets.
11:28 Rudolph is another story. And another Rankin & Bass stop-action Christmas film. Squeezing in the "Rudolph Reference" is known as a "plug". That's another Sin for you, Buddy!!! :-) :-)
Santa claus is coming to town is still the creepiest song to exist. Seriously, WHO THE HELL thought "he sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake". How did that not scare me as a kid?? And why do parents encourage that????
Lol! That was good. I totally remember watching this every year and yes this shit got deep in these old stop motion stories. Like the Bumble from Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.
I have a Santa Claus origin story I am working on. So he is born Nicholas Claus the heir to the Clause family. We learn that the Clause family was blessed with near immortality a few thousand years ago when one rescued a hurt elf and helped him reach his home. As thanks they were given magic however to keep the magic every two thousand years they would have to send the eldest child to the elf land. This child is Nicholas, and after being sent there he alters the deal so that he can stay forever and no other Claus needs to be send to live with them. His magic was basic as most of the family used it simply to gain wealth and help the less fortunate don't get me wrong they aren't greedy it's actually where Nicholas gets it from. The elves teach him many things and he even becomes a delivery person for them running messages back and forth between the villages. That's as far as I've gotten it's still a work in progress
8:50 I actually never seen this. But I think him saying tell the kids "don't cry or pout" he's saying don't cry and pout about the toys being destroyed he will bring more. I think you missed the context and that actually gives context to the song because before this moment I thought it was that black and white dumb. But the story and the quote behind it I understand now.
You're going to have to dive deep into the Rankin/Bass archives and watch the 1985 "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus" to answer the immortality question posed @ 2:50 . Fair warning to those who are not in the know, this movie is a trip and doesn't follow a single standard Santa storyline most are familiar with, but is however, a fantastic watch. Also highly recommended for a TVSins episode.
@@rpsyco Ha, I greatly enjoy the idea of a Rankin / Bass Cinematic Universe! Truthfully though, it couldn't hurt to watch through them all, as it's always a good time around the holidays for some campy movies :) That being said, I do feel like the one about the Leprechauns Christmas Gold might just be an unhelpful tangent.
I love how you glossed over the fact that the one day a year he chose to work was his Wedding anniversary! I mean that's the ultimate F#ck you to Mrs. Claus lol.
3:03 You do realize that Santa has GERMAN background, right? Santa comes from German, Dutch, and English backgrounds so it's not like it's off the chart. Plus Germany is known for toymakers and the like. It's not that they made a German villain because WW2; this is obviously set in the 1800s, not 1930s or 40s!
Long overdue, but I've really started to love this narrator (is it Aaron?). He's funnyI At first it was weird because I was so used to Jeremy (?!), but now I dont mind at all :D keep up the good work, guys!
Before I even watch this video, I know that they're going to comment about the "Freaky Stop-motion", but as a child growing up on these, that never crossed my mind. I can understand how it can be uncanny, but it's really not THAT bad. Am I the only one who thinks this?
You put Jessica's dialog to Kris as, "You see, the Burgermeister destroyed the ones you BOUGHT." when she clearly says "bRought". A SIN on YOU, sir! :P j/k
Most modern TV airings cut that sequence out for more commercial time. To be fair, it is pretty expendable, given how much it screams 1970s and how it basically qualifies as a Big Lipped Alligator Moment.
Really??? No sin off for Put One Foot in Front of the Other??? That scene is perfect! If Jeremy were still doing this I'm sure he'd knock one or two off.
The psychedelic song I swear was not included in the broadcast of the 80/90s . Time restraints, or DARE campaigns, but I am glad they include in now a days. Most random out of place trip ever included in a child’s program!! It’s fantastic!!
It may make no sense but I swear to whatever deity exists that 'One foot in front of the other' song has haunted my brain for years after seeing this. I have to actively try to NOT remember it or it will be stuck in my head for WEEKS at a stretch.
Is My World Is Beginning Today a Christmas song? Because it should be! It's my favorite! Also, it's just my luck that this comes out on the last day where I can watch TH-cam in my room in peace, and it was posted the moment I couldn't anymore.
Just wanted to point out that the soldier confiscated an accordion from one of the kids which is technically not a toy - it's a musical instrument that would actually be good for a kids to use and develop some learning skills.
Remember the time period. There had been 2 dictators in a row in Germany, and the Kings before weren't known for their tolerance, and just over one generation since WW2 without a dictator. It wasn't a cliché'.
Is it true that the first story, movie or version you see that you see tends to be your favorite? This was always the story of Kris Kringle for me. Still a fave.🎅🎄🎉✌
Honestly - surprised there was no sin for the number of toys they made that they couldn't possibly know about without knowledge of the future given when the story is most likely to take place.
Literally just watched this on TH-cam. It always bothered me that the mailman is reading mail! Also, can you do Peter Cotton Tail on Easter? The mailman is in that one too, I think.
5:49 And let's not forget that sin nearly everyone makes when portraying seals: THOSE ARE SEA LIONS! 6:21 Well, seals do live in arctic regions, at least. Penguins live in the antarctic. So, yeah, a penguin appearing on the literal opposite side of the planet would seem more than a little odd. 8:57 Because children crying or pouting, especially in public, is embarrassing to the parents and annoying to others. So, we'll convince the kids that expressing emotions is bad, and that acting how their parents want them to act (that is, just be cute so everyone thinks the parents are flawless) is good. So, basically, it's child manipulation and who gives a shit if they have any mental baggage later in life because of it?
I loved this movie. The "One foot ahead of the other" song was my favorite. I still hum it to myself these days when I'm stuck on something and/or lack motivation.
Fun fact: my wife lost her hearing a few years ago and we watched this movie with subtitles...when SD said the line, "he's getting ready with his reindeer and his sleigh" but the subtitles read as "cause he's getting ripped with his randoms and his slave" No joke! Merry Christmas everyone!
@ SeanH... watched the original Waltons Homecoming. The young Elizabeth says " She called us piss-ants!" The title read..."She called us pissheads!" 😆😅😬
I watched the Alistair Sim version of a Christmas Carol - there's a character named Mr. Jorkin - the subtitles call him Mr. Joking.
The North Swole
We bought our first TV with captions, something about “helps teach reading”. That was 1995, every TV since has caption on it. I rely on it SO much that I’m not a fan of going to the movies.
I laughed out loud at that sudden sin dump at the end. Unwarranted, but hilarious.
@@cyberwiccan Suddenly I just thought about how much funnier it would've been if this video called it the "TV Coal Counter."
"What a splendid accident" is how my parents describe me.
I was always told that the better not cry thing was about crying because you don't get your way. It didn't count if you cried because you were sad or hurt.

Maybe this is a case of yuletide multiverse.
@@maxweltersworld2270 makes sense.
@Zelos Wilder Same goes with Jessica when you think about it...At least in "Year Without A Santa", Santa had the excuse of feeling burnt out and dejected by the world.
Right?! THANK you!
yeah. how did THAT happen?
I shit you not, this whole time I thought that song was literally about teaching the warlock how to literally walk cuz I thought he would use his magic to get around and never walked
same bro
wait it's not literal
I mean it could work that way
🤦
Hey, if you're a magician, you shouldn't have to do physical labor unless you absolutely have to
of course the penguin helps Kris Kringle. It's a Hufflepuff.
A Hufflepuffin if you will
That, “Hello there!” - “General Kenobi,” is my favourite audio outtake in a long time.
Watching these sin counters of classic specials from years ago made me realize just how weird and unintentionally twisted they were
To be fair, penguins don't exist in the Northern Hemisphere so Kris's reaction to finding one is understandable
but also how does he know what a penguin is.
@@beybladerkid5489 he might have been taught about animals just like he was taught how to do math or make toys. I don’t live in a place where there are elephants but I’m still aware that elephants exist.

I hope!
Only that hideous live version from a few years ago.
@@johnharris6655 no, anything Rankin/Bass made deserves CinemaSinnings.
Noooo, there is no sin in that one. 😅

6:20: Since penguins are native to the southern polar regions, asking what one is doing so far from Antarctica is a legit question. *GNID!*
The Paul Frees force is strong in this one, it sounds like every other character is just itching to become Boris Badenov.
The Burgomiester seemed like a cross between Boris Badenov and Ludwig Von Drake...probably Frees' most famous characters.
@@richardranke3158 He even goes into a bit of the Professor von drake voice when he says I used to be able to do all sorts of tricks
For every Rankin Bass christmas special that became a classic, there are 5 that are just sort of there. I think that's the ratio.

there is nothing wrong with Santa Clause Is Coming To Town you heathens
Thank you
"you heathens" lmao
Except for maybe A Kiss A Toy. That concept was very disturbing.
Cute... But no, it's creepy af.
This special was criminally underrated

Oh yes the nightmare fuel prelude to the even more nightmare fuel Miser Brothers nonsense.
Sin on the German persona as a dictator cliche
Remember the time period. There had been 2 dictators in a row in Germany, and the Kings before weren't known for their tolerance, and just over one generation since WW2 without a dictator. It wasn't a cliché'.
@@hepchaos that’s a good point and the 60s did have this thing about clowning on Germans after WW2 if they weren’t villains.
And so it’s worth noting that’s probably the only image of a dictator that people had in their imaginations at the time

@@skybaytr4375 it's my childhood.
For the flying reindeer, you should’ve went with Santa slay’s Helldeer scean where they blow it out of the sky with a bazooka
I thought that said posted 52 minutes ago, and I was confused about why there was so little engagement lol
Don't forget about the pick up lines that Kris says to Jessica when he hands her the doll.
It's a Critter Christmas. that's what the animals were wanting when they were dragging Kris around.
5:49 And let's not forget that sin nearly everyone makes when portraying seals: THOSE ARE SEA LIONS!
6:21 Well, seals do live in arctic regions, at least. Penguins live in the antarctic. So, yeah, a penguin appearing on the literal opposite side of the planet would seem more than a little odd.
8:57 Because children crying or pouting, especially in public, is embarrassing to the parents and annoying to others. So, we'll convince the kids that expressing emotions is bad, and that acting how their parents want them to act (that is, just be cute so everyone thinks the parents are flawless) is good. So, basically, it's child manipulation and who gives a shit if they have any mental baggage later in life because of it?
I love this Christmas story. 🎄 I remembered watching it on TV when I was a child.
