As a Chinese person that understands the importance of thank you little kitty in Chinese movie history I would never have imagined it had this deep connection to rudolf.
1:58 I wish people would realize that there is a scene where everyone regrets how they treated Rudolph after he returns from his adventure and hears his story WELL BEFORE he proves his nose’s usefulness and become more accommodating of misfits, proving that the message is NOT so problematic. It’s right there, but people refuse to pay attention to it. It’s honestly pretty frustrating.
It's quite heartbreaking to know that a lot of the things we enjoyed as children often end up the result of unpaid unenjoyed labour manipulated by others for the sake of easy profit
Of all the things we could’ve guessed would be the topic of this video - I don’t think anyone was expecting “National Treasure but Christmas animation”. Love the video! Something something engagement metrics.
Incredible animation work!! And very interesting subject. I didn’t know about this movie, but I’m glad to finally know what “late for elf practice” meme was all about, aha.
Wow I had no idea that even stop motion animations that I watched as child was also outsourced... I've been watching Asian crafted content even earlier than I thought :o
Great video! I’m glad to see that someone covered the topic of the misconceptions of the puppets and their whereabouts. It’s worth mentioning that Rick Goldschmidt’s books have updates on the puppets as he finds information. If I recall, more puppets still exist in Japan than one would think, even including the Miser Brothers from Year Without a Santa.
Swamp you're quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite youtubers by the way, I can't believe how consistently you're able to put out high quality well edited content like this and I look forward to when you're a 500k subscriber channel some day and I can say I knew about you before it was cool. Been following since your first delicious in dungeon video, and gonna be around for a long time to come.
This is my favourite Christmas movie!! We actually have a bunch of the characters including both the Abominable & Humble Bumble versions. The angry one guards the front door and Humble is helping out in our Christmas village! Thankyou for sharing this 😊
Aw neat!! Just watched the special with my nephew the other day! Rudolph continues to be enjoyed by new generations every year and I really appreciate learning more about the artists who made this historic piece of media happen, especially when much of their work went uncredited or under appreciated. I would love to learn more about Tadahito Mochinaga!! Even from this brief overview, what a life he had
Amazing video, so well researched and well edited. Love how many things you pointed out, misspelt names in credits being one that boiled my blood. How dare they not credit the ones who made the actual film??? How dare the voice actors be paid so poorly yet one big name is paid far more? So many injustices, but thank goodness for you pointing them out so we can credit the real artists behind this amazing film. Thank you for a great watch!
This was amazing. Loved the old school screen flicker periodically traveling up the video. Been watching since the Dungeon Meshi vids, love your content and learning all about the various animation techniques.
Definitely wasn't expecting to see Rudolph on this channel, but it was super fascinating all the same! More animation history deep-dives like this in the future would be really cool. Also, happy holidays!
A few things; that other Santa could have very well also been used in shots where Santa didn't need to speak while another animator was working with the speaking puppet. In my short few years in Stop motion, we would always have multiple copies of the same puppet as things on them broke or just worn out from posing over and over. In 2019 or 2020 I was able to mess with some glasses made for a Santa puppet that was "going into a collection, likely not to been by the public again." wish I took some pics.
Absolutely one of my favorite videos from your channel, and there's a lot of competition! You took a lot of history and did well to condense it into a compelling 24-minute narrative. Having sources in the description and video itself is appreciated too! Presentation is fantastic as always - the way you animate yourself with some rankin-bass styling this episode is really going the extra mile. Always delightful to see the bits and pieces of animation you do for these episodes, because that's an entirely different skill from editing and scripting and you do it very well.
I've known the previous "official story" of this for a while, so it's exciting to get new info! And the real story is much happier than I'd thought! An outsourced christmas animation miracle! thank you!
I used to watch this movie religiously as a kid, along with all the other stop motion christmas specials Learning of their history is really fun and enjoyable, thank you for the awesome video! Merry Christmas
Rudolph is my favourite Christmas movie. I even own a physical copy of it. Very cool to hear that stop motion was a technique started to preserve resources!
such an incredibly interesting and well-written video! you've given me a lot better insight into the world of animation ever since your weekly vids on Dungeon Meshi! I really love your channel
Rudolph's voice actress, Billie Mae Richards sounds so much like Billie Lou Watt and the voice she gave for the English dub of Kimba the White Lion in the 1965 series.
I was legit wondering this exact question just yesterday. Amazing and sad to hear how the real artists behind the beloved shows were kept in the shadows for so long.
The timing is too serendipitous, my wife and i just watched Santa Claus is Coming to Town last night and at the end of the movie were wondering aloud what ever became of the puppets and the sets - now we know!
this is one of my favourite christmas movies. i started watching your dandadan videos a couple days ago and found this a moment ago. can't wait to see the conclusion edit: wow. just wow. this is downright enraging. so the people doing the actual puppeteering got pretty much nothing, and the voice actors also got paid absolutely jack. damn. while rankin seemed to have respect for them (and they seemed to like their jobs), the people involved deserved a whole lot more
I LITERALLY just did this deep dive myself because I adore Hermey. Thank you for covering this! Edit: My original comment was made before watching the video and after immediately waking up and seeing this on my phone's notifications (you are my "drop everything and watch this upload" channel and I was just too excited) so I wanted to say a little bit more now that I finished the video. These movies have been such a long standing tradition to watch in my family since I was a little kid and it was earlier this month where I had also fell down the rabbit hole to see what happened to them. Definitely heartbreaking to know so many of them didn't survive very long and most of the information about the puppets really only involves the Rudolph ones (I love A Year Without a Santa Claus so it's disappointing to not know the fate of those puppets either), but I do hold out hope that maybe some of them remain in Japan in unknown collections, hopefully stored better than the promotional ones that weren't sent here to the US. I do believe some puppets were reused in other productions, I remember reading somewhere that a Mrs Claus' face was repurposed for a Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory production but I will take that information with a grain of salt. Either way, I'm glad the actual puppeteers are getting the recognition they deserved (as best as they can). I've gotten so many people to watch these movies simply because I love Hermey so much, so I can't wait to send this video to my friends.
I don’t care if the ones on display weren’t the ones from the movie Seeing them at the Center for Puppetry Arts is still one of the BEST moments of my life
I don’t give two figs about Christmas specials, especially corporate ones But I do like learning about animation history and this video is incredible. I was drinking in all the information it was so fascinating
while i'm not a fan of rankin/bass animations myself, i found this super interesting. even though i don't personally enjoy their style, i know they were hugely influential in the animation world, and hearing about the lesser known (but no less influential himself) Mochinaga was really cool to learn about. Thanks for yet another great video, and i always enjoy your style emulations!
So there might be more?! CAN SOMEONE CONTACT SOMEONE!!!! If there are more in existence or others they need to be properly cared for!!! Either in the us or japan WE NEED TO REACH OUT!
Tbh it always had a weird sickening quality to it i could never stand to watch, even as a kid. I have no real or unique critiques of it; it just makes me feel weirdly sick
You lost me when you refused to say the name, Little Black Sambo. It's one of my favorite stories from childhood, and those who freak out over it are ignorant shits I want nothing to do with. So, goodbye ignorant shit, I'm blocking your noise.

Rankin Bass is still absolutely heinous for suppressing the credit of the Japanese studios that they outsourced to
@@KaminoKatie??
@@KaminoKatieFake. No one believes you, liar.
@@compassrose1466 They're not an animation studio by any stretch, nothing more than a production company that outsourced for cheap labor
Most people know, it's just a fun joke
It's quite heartbreaking to know that a lot of the things we enjoyed as children often end up the result of unpaid unenjoyed labour manipulated by others for the sake of easy profit
It’s untrue. It was made by superior white people.
Fantastic video. I especially liked your stop motion style Rig for your channel mascot. Very on theme. Really pulled it together.
Thank you! I'm so glad because that detail is what I ended up spending like 70% of my time on XD

Two great things about Dandadan:
1) Dandadan
2) Finding this channel :3
Glad you made this, I always wondered about those little guys ❤
It is absolutely criminal that this isn't getting as much attention as your normal videos tend to. This is such an interesting topic!
Your animation looks very cute!!!😊
Shoutout to all the underappreciated and underpaid animators that made this anime holiday classic. Mochinaga's group are stop-motion legends!
This was amazing. Loved the old school screen flicker periodically traveling up the video.
Been watching since the Dungeon Meshi vids, love your content and learning all about the various animation techniques.

Came here from your DanDaDan videos, and i haven't been disappointed. Consider me subscribed and happy holidays Jawn!

Loved this story Mister Swamp

Absolutely love the animation In the beginning 💖 you always amaze with your little flourishes
I used to watch this movie religiously as a kid, along with all the other stop motion christmas specials
Learning of their history is really fun and enjoyable, thank you for the awesome video! Merry Christmas
Rudolph is my favourite Christmas movie. I even own a physical copy of it.
Very cool to hear that stop motion was a technique started to preserve resources!
This is SO fascinating thank you for letting this project grow. The 3-D animation is amazing!
Intro made me nostalgic as fck 🥲

14:27 I love the Abominable Snowman, he's so adorable! I cry every time I see his demise, even though I'm an old lady now.
Never seen you before, but what a fantastic video!
You're always making such high quality content, its so impressive

Me being into rankin basses stop motion. My favorite is Santa Claus is coming to town
I don’t give two figs about Christmas specials, especially corporate ones
But I do like learning about animation history and this video is incredible. I was drinking in all the information it was so fascinating
My Dad fixed TV's for GE, and they showed this early at the company Christmas party.
Such a good video!
That's some great sleuthing! ❤
oh this is amazing to learn!!
Sent here by Casual Historian. I’m glad I clicked!
Thanks for stopping by!
I love the new looks
If Rankin/Bass was an automobile it would be just as reliable as a FIAT (Fix It Again Tony)
So fascinating

I could swear I've already seen this video but it says it's only two days old??
Stop motion time
part 2 of asking for a beastars video now that the new seasson is out 😝😝
Like for Zombie Land Saga. The rest of the video is nice too.
I miss the weekly sigma videos for anime!

Happy Algorithm I mean Holidays!

... why did you decide to give me nightmare fuel again. You went back in time 20 years to unlock trauma...thanks
Ruohdof gave you trauma? No hate btw just curious
