A shame they didn't saved the other puppets like Hermie, Yukon and the grown-up version of Rudolph, but this still neat seeing Santa and little Rudolph on display!
I wonder what the story is behind that, why destroy them? You would’ve thought they’d all be kept together. Maybe they just didn’t care about the others.
I’m so glad you finally saw the stop motion figures of Santa and Rudolph. I remember how excited I was to tell you on your livestream. Also I’m glad Dennis Ball joined you he’s a hoot
The puppets were restored in 2005 after they appeared on Antiques Roadshow and are being rented from a collector for the museum. They’re actually the promotional versions rather than the ones used in the special. A good number of other Rankin Bass puppets exist in private collections including an actual screen used Santa and reindeer in Japan.
@@MarkLyonOHIO certain ones here and there. The rest of the promotional Rudolph ones melted in the ladies attic but Santa and Rudolph survived. If you check out Rick Goldschmidt’s social media he has posted about the various surviving figures over the years.
I grew up watching this and a few other Christmas specials...but I never would have imagined they would be so small!!!! I thought they would be much larger...hmmm, so awesome to see they have lasted many many years!!!!
I don't know why they don't play this around the Holidays any longer. They used to play this, The original Grinch, and Frosty the snowman in the 80's and 90's. Thanks for this Jacob!
I LOVE Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer stop motion movie when my dad and I were kids. This will always be a classic and glad to see those original puppets in great condition.
Wow CB, I totally felt the same way about Santa in the movie. But looking at the puppets was magic. Your camera was perfect to catch the essence. Loved the puppeteers and their story. SO creative and personal. Thank you CB!
The Center for Puppetry Arts is amazing. I will never forget my visit there a few years back. Getting to see Emmet Otter and Ma along with the massive Labyrinth exhibition they had going on at the time was an emotional experience.
I seem to remember all of the main characters being on display under glass in the NYC NBC-TV Studios when I went on a tour in the mid-1970's. Perhaps they were on loan or something.
I love these figures and have all of them around my Charlie Brown Christmas tree and Leg 🦵 Lamp every Christmas 🎄! Castle Noel still has cousin Eddie's RV, right?
I remember going to the Center for Puppetry Arts a few times back in elementary school for field trips. Such a neat place. Also totally random but I used to go to church with a guy named Dennis Ball. 😂
I had the same questions as you, regarding their sizes. After re-watching the special this year, I believe this is the Rudolph puppet from when he is young and smaller. In the special he becomes bigger and grows antlers. Also, this is the Santa puppet used in the final moments of the film, when he was taking off in his sleigh. That is the only time in the show that you see him wearing this outfit.
Dennis ball looks pretty interesting, going to have to check out his TH-cam channel, also been thinking about bringing my battlebots to big bang robot pizza when ever i go down that way.
So cool to see the real figures in person. That'll be on my list on things to see for sure. And I was thinking about why Rudolph is so small. I think it's just because it's the teenager version of Rudolph when he kisses Clarice maybe.
What a shame all the puppets didn't survive. I remember watching them on tv as a child and it's still two of my favorite Christmas shows right there with the movie 'It's a Wonderful Life' with Jimmy Stewart.
Aww! Loved seeing the original puppets from the movie! Also, there’s other Rudolph movies that are cool, like the one short from back in the 1940s. I think Walt Disney did it. Also there’s another movie from 1998. It was an animated one like the 40s one. I remember we had a VHS tape and it messed up the show. You could hardly see it lol. It was an old one. But I still watched it as a little girl. Good thing we have better technology for that nowadays. Otherwise, stuff would be just blurry all the time. That Kermit puppet is cute too. There are a lot of cool puppets there. Well, thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
The main characters were built in different scales (usually 3), remember? This was done to ensure better detail of the puppets during close-up shots. So the reason why Santa looks so large compared to Rudolph is b/c you might be seeing two different scales, side by side.
I’m obviously in Atlanta every year for DragonCon, as you know (by the way, we missed you this year) and this is the first I’ve heard of Big Bang pizza!!
Fun fact: Did you know there was a 1998 2D Rudolph film? It had more music, more star power in the actors (and singer in the form of Clint Black, who sang the song in the opening credits), and had a lot of things changed, added and removed in terms of the lore and even plot (by plot, I mean the villain, and I don't think the Island Of Misfit Toys was in it, neither was Hermie, Bumble or Yukon Cornelius), and while it is pretty low-budget all things considered, it's not that bad of a watch

Ikr
Too bad they can't replicate them either
@@kaitlando636 I’m sure someone could if they really wanted to. But probably wouldn’t be able to display them.

@@therestorationofdrwho1865 darn.
Idk why the museum people havent dne it yet or somebody who could
Thank you for bringing me along, Jacob!
Those puppets are a huge part of my childhood. Couldn’t wait to watch Rudolph on tv at my grandparents every year.
my grandpa would always quote the up up up and away with me in his best santa voice! RIP
@@krystalharwood6359 When I was a kid I could quote every line in that movie. It never got old. I need to find where I can watch them again.
@@RamblinTed its on freeforms 25 days of christmas along with frosty
@@krystalharwood6359 Thanks!
Dennis Ball was so appealing and the tour of the Puppetry Museum as well. Cute little kitty robot too.
I have a flat cardboard Rudolf, not old. I'm so glad they refurbished and saved these. Amazing the original family didn't know what they had.
Wow, those awesome dad-jokes from Dennis Ball. He was really on a roll today.
I’m so glad you finally saw the stop motion figures of Santa and Rudolph. I remember how excited I was to tell you on your livestream. Also I’m glad Dennis Ball joined you he’s a hoot
So great that Dennis Ball has reading glasses he puts on to look at the exhibits.
These are the most iconic treasures ever ,just pure magic.

So do they all exist or certain ones?

i am so so SO happy these are on public display, and what a great place to display them!
Thanks for this. I have watched this every Christmas and Im 48. Didnt know they even existed.

CBS airs all 3 every year.

?? it was a stop motion movie not a cartoon. what drugs are you on?
@@TrevorCollin_ I updated my post to put "Stop motion movie" on it. Sorry about that Trevor
You and your dad were kids at the same time?
@@TheCOZ No COZ. My dad was born in 1960 and I was born in 1990.
@@TrevorCollin_ tf u gotta be like that for? dude shared a good story and u gotta ruin it?

I have such great memories of those specials. Thanks for this, CB.

I remember watching Rudolph as a kid brings back great memories 😊👍
Wow the original puppets from Rudolph show!! And the guys from MST3K, very cool!
I seem to remember all of the main characters being on display under glass in the NYC NBC-TV Studios when I went on a tour in the mid-1970's. Perhaps they were on loan or something.
Thanks for sharing these historic puppets from my youth :)
I’m so excited! I first heard of the Center for Puppetry from you, and now my mom is taking me!
This is so cool! Just watched Rudolph
I love these figures and have all of them around my Charlie Brown Christmas tree and Leg 🦵 Lamp every Christmas 🎄! Castle Noel still has cousin Eddie's RV, right?
Other surviving Rudolph puppets exist in Japan (where all of the Rankin-Bass specials were animated).
What true craftsmanship! Crazy how well they've held up!
Remember Rudolph was a toddler. He had to grow up to teen before he led the sleigh. So his height is ok compared to Santa.
Thanks Jacob- this was fun and quite different 🥰. Have safe travels my friend. Truly appreciate you !
This is an awesome video. Not just for Santa and Rudolph, but for the mystery science theater 3k behind the pupitear!
My fav time of day is when I see a new video from you. Can't wait to get into this one!
Ty this is my favorite Christmas movie. The Bumble is my favorite!
This was amazing Jacob 👏 love your puppetry ❤

I loved those Xmas cartoons I've never missed them as a kid on the family Channel definitely brong good memories back.
My favourite character is the pink spotted elephant!!

Great video, #TheCarpetbagger God bless you and keep you and your family. So blessed by your videos.
What a nice gentleman that was Jacob! Great video! Cool cool puppets!
I wish someone could have gotten to the puppets sooner to save them. How cool would it be to have those in your house!? Thank you for sharing ❤
Merry Christmas 🎅🎄🤶 to you Jacob. It was fun to see Santa and Rudolph. Santa's legs are short for the size of his body.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Jacob.
Crow and Tom! Very cool!

I'm glad Rudolph and Sandy Claus are still alive! 🦌🎅
"Marty Feldman was a genius" great reference.

so cool loved Rudolph a great video amazing puppets
The Rudolph is the first Rudolph when he was young. there was a 2nd Rudolph that was slightly bigger with larger antlers.
That actually blows my mind how the people who received the puppets didn’t take good care of them
I think I can say....WE LOVE DENNIS ❤ 😍
Rofl, bumble all up in your business 🤣 😂 also 16:44 I busted 🤣 I love Dennis the ball
This was really cute. I enjoyed this.
I'm glad they managed to at least save some of the Rudolph puppets. Great video. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤Merry Christmas🎄
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
This was so much fun !!! Nice job ! Loved Dennis ball !!
Jacob: if the original puppets are up for auction; buy them
Jake, if you happen to stumble into the Pac Northwest, reach out. Id love to shuttle you around to some of our strange stuff!!!!
I’m sorry but Dennis the tennis ball is HYSTERICAL! 😄

They reappeared on an episode of the Antiques Road Show on PBS.
Thank u for this Jacob. I choked up a bit. Happy holidays
Did my man just drop the "Welcome to Atlanta where the players play" lyrics by Ludacris?? 👀🔥😎 Lol
Wow! Amazing thanks! I shared this one!
You are awesome carpetbagger. You always have the top notch videos. 👍👍
I can't believe you didn't show us Jen or Kira or a Skeksis in the Dark Crystal section!
I’ve shown more detail during past visits. I didn’t want to show all the same stuff again
Great video!! DENNIS BALL is AWESOME!
I’m obviously in Atlanta every year for DragonCon, as you know (by the way, we missed you this year) and this is the first I’ve heard of Big Bang pizza!!
Great video as usual! Always love seeing you come to my state!
Very cool! MERRY CHRISTMAS BROTHER!
Awesome thank you for this video trip !
Awesome episode.
Antiques Road Show evaluated them at between 8-10k before they were sold on eBay.
Wow that's amazing man
You are hilarious!
wow I just finished watching that movie and his origination that you uploaded this came up
You should find Heatmiser & Snowmiser from the Year Without a Santa Claus
i have them in my house every year blush size and the snow man..lol
That’s Santa at the end of the show!
I love Mystery Science Theater 3000 SO MUCH!!!
I wish I could touch history with my large hands...they probably feel like wood and felt

Would be a dream to see these in person ❤️❤️
Cute jacob just noticed Dennis has teeth lol.🤟
Proud moment when homeboy said he’s from San Antonio LFG 210 reppin
So cute!!! There’s nothing wrong with the doll. 🤷🏻♀️
I imagine by now the airport sold the suitcase actually a shoe on TV this they do that
That must be the same company that makes the robots for U & ME Hot Pot in Orlando. They even have a kitty robot now too.
Best video of the year
Aww poor sad neglected one armed robot
Hello Jacob 🙋🏽.
Thanks Jacob?
So cool to see this.
Those puppets belong in the Smithsonian. They are a national treasure.
I'd love to see the prospector!
My favorite my favorite Christmas movie was the year with Aunt with almost out of Santa Claus Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Misfit Toys
