Just watched this last night.

All, if you REALLY want an interesting behind-scenes story to look up, look up the wiki entry on this 1964 special..:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_the_Red-Nosed_Reindeer_(TV_special)

The story has actually changed a few times since originally broadcasted. Scenes were added/removed to cater to viewers complaining about the misfit toys aspect, etc.

Pretty interesting. As one of the four specials that have been airing for the last nearly 50yrs, this one by far has had the most changes.

Watched it the other night too. One of the staples of Christmas for many moons. I remember when it first aired in '64, I was 14. Saw some of the figures on Antique Road show a while back.

The Bumble is my favorite, as evidenced by the fact that I have a Bumble ornament on my Christmas Tree (proof of this can be found in the latest post on my RPG blog: http://unto-the-breach.blogspot.com/2013/12/an-early-christmas-gift-from-across.html)

I just watched King Kong Escapes with Mecha Kong and Rankin/Bass did that move with Toho studios out of Japan. Maybe that's why their Kong looks more like The Bumble than anything else.
