So I've never seen this before.
So I've never seen this before.
I had no idea this thing existed.
And let me tell you something.
what the fuck
I never even heard of it either
I politely asked my fiance
I was like oh what would make a good
December animation damnation
Christmas he thinks oh that Rudolph sequel
and I was like wait what
I thought Rudolph was one and done
no actually this is kind of the one I grew up on
I've seen this multiple times
really yes
you have other television in Woodstock
yeah it's like the parallel
dimension I mean this is really
I guess, when I told you, you, that's why I'm fucked up, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the reason.
Wait, so have you then, because this is an author of universe where you've seen this.
Yeah.
Have you not seen the Rudolph one a bunch of times then?
I've seen it, but less.
Weird.
Welcome to Animation Damnation.
I'm Andrew Juppin alongside Steven Sadeck and Eric Sisker.
We're talking about a film from the Rank, Rankin and Bass universe.
Franklin and Bash?
No, Rankin and Bass.
Are they lawyers?
No, they make shitty cartoons, stop motion things.
That sounds like a better T&T show.
Yeah, probably.
This is Rudolph's shiny new year, which came out in 1976, I believe.
Man, these Rankin' and Bass motherfuckers are just poisoned.
This thing's poison.
It's all poison.
No, I love that one Rudolph special.
It's not right.
No, that's my yearly watching it.
Really?
No matter what watches.
See, that's the Peanuts Christmas, man.
I do.
Well, I kind of do. I have a couple of those.
Steve just loves Christmas.
I do love Christmas specials.
All right, everybody else?
Oh, so Hottica's not doing it for you.
No, no.
Well, no, then Steve watches eight crazy nights over and over again.
No.
Yeah, I know.
My, the two that have to happen are peanuts and Rudolph.
Some things get shuffled in and out, like your Mickey's Christmas Carol and so on.
The Muppets Christmas Carol gets in there sometimes.
Oh, I love that one.
Oh, yeah, that's the one for me, I think.
Yeah, the Muppets.
You know what all those are?
not is total shit
and that's what this is
man so Steve if you could boil down for everybody
Rudolph's shiny new year what is this about
so like 10 years or so after the original
they say oh
you know the that's not the whole story
everybody that's not the whole Rudolph the red nose reindeer story
apparently he goes on this other adventure
wherein he has to save new years as well
and there's a lot of stuff about the mechanics of the magic of New Year's
that they just kind of plum make up.
Sure.
I mean, this whole idea of like the baby New Year.
Yes.
So are you suggesting that the original Christmas one is it made up?
It's made up, but it's Santa Claus is there.
Made up.
But what he's saying is it is unpopular lore is what we're dealing with here.
Yukon Cornelius.
He's made up.
Yeah, that's right.
Dude, Bumbles are real.
The Bumbles are in the Bible.
Excuse me?
No, they're not.
The fuck's a Bumble.
The fucking abominable snowman.
He's in the Bible?
Oh, I'm sorry.
You saw that one less.
Yeah, I did.
The Bumble, dude, the abominable snowman, yeah.
Bumbles, bouch!
Right into the Bible.
Oh, he's in the Bible.
Dude, of course, a Bumble's not in the Bible.
Oh, well, no, no, no.
I think they are there.
The nephilium, right?
Those giants.
The Frost giant?
I think you're thinking of Thor.
I think you're mistaken of Jesus for Thor.
Oh, you know what?
I do it all the time.
Chris Hemsworth is my God.
So, uh, Santa's like, hey man, thanks for getting me out of that last jam.
I just got a telegram from father time.
Who he is close personal friends with.
Absolutely.
He's like, oh, apparently New Year is in trouble.
And if new, and if we can't find the baby New Year by December 31st,
It's going to be December 31st forever, you guys.
Which, you know what?
That's cool.
You know what I do every December 31st?
Eat too much, get drunk, and watch TV.
Sounds pretty cool.
That's different from any other day of year.
Wow, fucking game set match Cisco.
That had some heat on it.
Making fun of my Christmas special.
So he's like, hey Rudolph, by the way, I know I'm on.
Nipotent Santa Claus, but I can't help
because this durn blizzard.
You got that fun little nose.
Go out there and go save New Year's as well.
Find this baby.
You find this missing baby.
Gone, baby, New Year, gone.
And we do get a montage here of father time's life
because he's apparently less than one years old.
Yes.
And I'm just, the mechanics of baby time
and father time are very bizarre.
Because, you know, it shows him like, oh, and now it's May, and now he's four or five years old.
And then, like, summer comes along and he's starting to be a middle-aged man.
Yeah.
And by November, he's an old haggard bastard.
And what doesn't come together here, really, is that Father Time, voiced by Red Skelton, and also sort of modeled to look like Red Skelton, is not acknowledging his own imminent demise.
he's gonna die right and even at the end of the movie when fucking spoiler alert the baby new year is found and saved uh he's just alive and he's dancing and he's telling you this story well that's the thing is he doesn't die he's gonna go off to his own island of year or whatever in the archipelago of lost time oh just like napoleon
he went into exile once he was deposed it's a weird weird bureaucratic system and they keep making
stuff up and so Rudolph is going through the
sands of time he meets some friends that just
immediately disappear this fucking sad sack camel
and general TikTok or whatever
well yeah the general ticker
general ticker uh and then we have the great
quarter past five which as my wife very astutely pointed out
sounds exactly like bain oh hey there rudolph
oh coming into the desert i see i'm like what the
This camel's got like...
I was born in it.
No one ever leaves the desert.
Incheens, awesome, awesome.
It's goddamn dickens.
Oh, Moses.
You think the desert is your alive.
Anyway.
The, Rudolph, a fucking reindeer rides a camel.
Why?
He's a reindeer.
Yeah, well, it's kind of funny.
Silly.
He's like, I'll get you to father time.
But this guy
But this bomb will go off
And destroy Gotham
I'll watch
Egypt burn
Moses
Why is Moses involved
Because Eric started it
I don't know
Because he's wandering the desert
Anyway
I think this guy was in the Bible right
The clock camel
Quarter past five was deaf
In the Bible
Yeah totally
Somewhere in the middle there
Escape to Egypt.
So Father Time gives us the depressing story of his life.
And he's like, yeah, by the way, I only live for one year and then I get exiled to an island of my year wherein everything is represented or something.
Can you imagine if you went to a place where everything stayed exactly 2,000 the entire time?
Yeah, it's called my hometown.
I go there
I go there around the holidays actually
Is everybody just watching the big hit
Over and over again
Dude I shit you not
You drive up there dude
You can still find 311 on the radio
I'm telling you it's all mixed up
Boom
So yeah
They had some good tunes
They did
He's like all right
Well he's Baby New Year
By the way
Unfortunately we're all horrible here
And Baby New Year has really large
ears and they're just so durn
funny. Anyone who looks at them
laughs their head off.
And yeah, you know, let's just
keep laughing at, you know,
people with deformities. Especially
laughing at babies.
Well, here's the thing. This baby's only got a year
of life, right? Kind of.
It's probably going to grow into those years
anyway. Oh, in the public eye, yeah, before he becomes like
Trotsky.
Murdered by ice picks.
But anyway. I thought he
had a spout of exile. Well, yeah, he was in
Mexico.
Yeah, that's what I meant?
Or, you know, I want to kill this baby with ice
pigs. I don't care. Fuck it.
But, you know, the thing is, this baby
is going to be dead anyway, so who cares?
Laugh your head off at it. But then he
needs to be baby New Year at least once,
Eric. That's true. One year he needs to hold
office. He needs to hold office.
Take all the world's time, sins,
or something. Now, here's a big
flub in this whole story. Oh, really? You've found
one? I think I found a
hole in this boat. There is
a line that Father Time has where it's
Like something, something, he's the baby New Year out of all the baby New Year's.
Like, he implies there's other baby New Year's farting around somewhere.
I guess there's a world, there's like maybe like a big nursery with all the baby New Year's to come.
I mean, who's the mother?
Who's the father?
Where are these things coming from?
Like, Jesus.
Well, why can't they, you know, Jesus shits them out?
But why can't they just put a new baby New Year in office for that year then?
I don't, I think they like smash all these other baby New Year's with a rock, like old Sparta.
Oh, so it's just like that crop.
Yeah.
This is the winner.
Like, you will be baby New Year.
Smash the others.
I think it's smashed.
Oh, wow.
That's harsh.
That's harsh times.
Well, this is all not seen in this cartoon.
So he's like, hey, go check all these billions of islands.
There's only been a million years to look at.
Yeah.
And every island has a year.
And now we get to my nightmare, which is Eon the fucking buzzard.
Oh, yeah, this thing's terrifying.
It's a disgustingly made puppet, first of all.
And like gross-looking puppets.
I got a problem with puppets in general, most puppets.
Except for like Muppets, like, you know, professional-grade puppets.
But like...
These are...
This is pro-grade.
These things are disgusting.
They're garbage.
Okay.
Pro-grade.
Listen, you can see...
Like, I had a DVD of this.
You can see, like, the glue...
holding the arms on these fuckers.
This ain't professional grade.
The production value is much worse than the first one.
I'll tell you that much.
Totally.
Ranking and Bass, we're fucking cooking the books on this one.
Well, as I recall, though, like the little drummer boy looks like garbage.
That's a real shitty-looking one.
Well, eight out of ten, Rankin and Bass are pure trash.
Yeah.
Like pure, pure, trash.
Did you look through those IMDB bios and there's some sketchy shit on there?
The TNT show?
they're called the mad monster party
Oh mad monster party's awesome
I never saw it
Is that really is that professional grade puppets
No it looks like shit
I mean it all looks like shit
It's just varying degrees of shit
Right so eon the fucking buzzards
Like hey man I'm gonna steal that baby
And they're like hey why
And he's like because if I don't
My Eon is coming up
I only live for one Eon
And then I turn into
Get ready for it
Snow and Ice
Hey sure
You know what
Hey, sure.
And they're like, yeah, his eons coming up.
It's going to end at the beginning of the new year.
And I'm kind of curious myself, I'm watching this movie.
And I'm like, well, is this Eon like, you know, World War II to maybe like post-Watergate America maybe?
No, like an Eon's what, like a thousand years or something?
They say it's an end of, that's a millennium.
Yeah, and Eon is just kind of an indescribable amount of time.
You can just say it really?
I think so.
I just made it.
Yeah, maybe.
I actually don't know and wasn't really thinking too much about it.
Well, at least in the Rudolph special, like, oh.
In the world of the film.
It's an indefinable amount of time, and, you know, his is just up, everybody, and it's going to end on New Year's Eve.
So he's going to kidnap that baby and keep it alive in seclusion.
But my thing was, what happens if he just kills it?
Yeah, that's a big huge buzzard with big huge buzzard claws.
Squish it like a grape, throw it into the ice water that you.
You live nearby.
He lives on, like, a big, like, icy mountain top.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what you do to baby.
Like, if you killed the baby New Year,
would another one just be like, how's it going?
Like, right away?
I don't know.
Maybe, but maybe all time would stop,
and it's December 31st forever,
and you're just listening to that Counting Crow's song forever and ever.
Oh, man.
Fucking speaking of shoot me in the head.
It's a long December, man.
This does encapsulate the depression of the new year
Because there's another song about like
Everybody gets old sometimes and dies
And the good years are behind you
And try and hold on to those
Doot do do do do
Father time's just being a drama queen
Because
In a year
There'll be a new baby ready to take the fucking mantle
So it's like one extra
One year gets repeated
Yeah who cares
That happens at least once a deck
game. And for the
is 1989 that different than
1988 question mark? No. Yeah, exactly. Is 2015
going to be any different than 2016? I really
doubt it. Probably not. We're going to have
you know, Marvel movies up the ass just like every, you know, it's the same
bunch of clowns in Washington. Endless wars. You know,
it's there. Shootings
every single weekend. Totally. It's all
the same shit. That's not going to change. Stop whining,
father time. And the fucking scythe that you're
carrying around, by the way. He's got a weapon in this movie. It's creepy. It's like
Grim Reaper Tech. That is, that is reaper tech. And I don't know why he's flaunting it
around. What do you need that for, Red Skelton? Speaking of Red Skelton, by the way, I did want
to point this out. Two things. One, the songs and music in this movie are absolute garbage.
Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Not like, again, and I'm going to be the guy,
not like that first one. No. I have a holly jolly Christmas. You could put that on right now. I'll be
dancing. Silver and gold. I'll fucking cry. I'll fucking cry.
I in my whiskey glass listen to that song.
I think there's a little bit of nostalgia going on in this room.
Oh, the nostalgia critic just showed up.
The other thing I was going to say is all the dudes making this thing, all the voices,
and we're talking Frank Gorshian, Red Skelton, the dude, I can't remember his name.
He was on the Dick Van Dyke show.
These are all dudes that went to their grave using the word show business.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
You want to talk about eons.
This is a different eons.
It's a different eon.
And let me tell you, listening to the songs and the vocal performances here, you can smell the scotch and cigarettes coming off the screen with this fucking thing.
It is so of its time.
Like, that's why, like, even though this thing is trash, I find it so watchable because I just, like, throw myself back into, like, madmen-esque feeling, you know?
And it's just like, I can't.
Like Frank Gorshin was quoted as saying he recorded all of his lines in a day.
Oh, of course.
You know that was booze and nicotine fueled.
You know it.
And just Frank Gorshan just drunk trying to do the voice of this night.
Like he could give a flying shit about this thing.
One of my favorite stories about that era is the old Batman show,
how Burgess Meredith,
they had like,
they would allow him to play the penguin whenever he was in town in quotation marks.
So I just imagine like Burgess Meredith at 4 o'clock at the morning
crashing into the producer's house
Bill Dozier's house like
Come on, let's start shooting
Quack, quack, Bill
I'm in town, baby
I'm on methamphetamines
I'll be up for three days
You get me till then
Then I go to sleep
His butler comes in to see what the noise is
And Burgess Meredith beats him to death
That was a cover-up that took the whole weekend
What a time to be alive in Hollywood
Making these shitty ranking and bass movies
That would be the best
So they get on a fucking
whale called Big Ben.
Oh, my God.
The camel and the general just go away.
I think they died.
I think they died.
The sands of time.
They were swallowed by the sands of time.
It was a time storm.
We go to Dinosaur Island, which is one million BC.
There's a caveman that I wanted to see dead by the end credits.
Talking an acute little caveman voice.
Pretty obnoxious.
Wasn't there like, it kind of reminded me there was a cartoon of like a caveman
that looked like a long like an oval coconut
you know what you're talking about uh oh oh oh oh oh uh captain caveman which is on
yeah i think so flintstones junior or the young flintstones oh dude we got to get into
fucking hannah barbara we have to that is an untapped resource for for animation damnation
um so he sings a funny song about rainbows or something he's like oh yeah we i did see that
and this is the trope of this movie it's like oh yeah that you just
missed that baby. He came by. We all laughed at his big stupid ears. Oh, you just missed that baby. A bunch of adults just laughed at it and it ran away. And dinosaurs are laughing at this baby. Honest to goodness, and the funny thing is the narration by Red Skelton is just like, and they couldn't help it because the ears made them laugh so much. They didn't mean to be cruel. They're not cruel, are they? If they just laugh at someone's ears, actually, that's the definition of cruel. Also, big ears aren't funny. No, they're not.
There's nothing funny about that.
And you know what?
The message of the first Rudolph special is it's okay to be gay, first and foremost.
Or, quote, unquote, a dentist.
Or, you know, like, if you're a misfit, you'll, you know, you'll go to college and you'll figure it the fuck out.
That's basically what it is.
You're going to get out of Eric's hometown and you're going to see the world.
Well, the thing is, the message of this one, it's okay to be different.
You can have a deformity that people laugh at you like I had and it made me feel kind of good, actually,
when I was growing up watching the end of this.
But I don't know, though, because then everyone's laughing at it at the end.
It's like, oh, you know.
Get used to it, kid.
That's what it is, though.
It's learned to laugh at it yourself.
The message of this is tough tit.
That's what it is, dude.
Tough tit.
Dude, that's been the message of every corner of my life.
Every turn we make in this life, it's a tough tit.
Then they go to Island 1023 for some reason, where all fairy tales are real, question mark.
Island 237.
Stephen King Island?
Dude, it's just an island of wrinkled, naked, dead ladies coming out of bathtubs.
Oh, it's that It Follows Island that they went to Richard Branson's island that's been overrun by It Follows demons.
That's Island.
Oh, man, Island 1981 with Jason Voorhe's running wild on it.
Hell yeah.
Island 1941 with John Belushi running all over it.
Or Hitler.
I mean, like, what happens on Island 941?
Island 1941, exactly.
So basically in this, and there's a big prolonged sequence with the three bears where Red Skelton is playing Baby Bear, and that's embarrassing?
Oh, that's really embarrassing. Apparently, he was reprising the same voice he used as some character called Junior.
I'm sure.
Pardon me for not being completely fluent in the career of Red Skelton.
For not being 100 years old.
I did see him on the Carson Show a couple times.
Oh, well, the thing is, this is where the part of the movie where it's like,
Like, we're just going to start rolling with Baby New Year for a while.
And I'm like, no.
Baby New Year is supposed to be missing.
Yes.
I'm signing on because it's called Rudolph's shiny fucking New Year.
And where's that goddamn reindeer?
Also, I don't think you're allowed to have a movie that has the three bears and dinosaurs in.
I'm just going to say that right.
A giant talking whale and a camel with a clock in its own.
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
It's just, and you know what else?
Benjamin fucking Franklin.
Oh, yeah, because he lives in.
It was like...
1776 Island.
Yeah.
Where every day is the 4th of July, again, shoot me in the head.
We got to put that in this cartoon so that none of them foreigners can like this.
Well, it's the bicentennial.
You better get ready, everybody.
Man, how annoying must have that been.
I can't even imagine it.
Just every day someone's talking about America.
And there's a big song about how great America is.
They neglect to talk about slavery for some reason.
I don't know why.
And there's a big, like, just how several institutions neglect to talk about slavery today.
Just like, what did those idiots change it to African workers?
What?
The history books.
I believe this was a Tejas thing.
Oh, God.
We took the word slave out and they were workers.
Oh, man.
God bless America indeed.
No, was Tejas claimed to have been not as, was it a slave state or was it, was it one of them like, we'll track them down for you?
You know, I don't know.
Either way, they're complicit.
Go on.
And again, they're like, oh, come on, baby New Year.
You're going to take your hat off.
First of all, everyone loves Baby New Year when they see him.
Like, oh, he's such a sweet little baby.
Let's hang out with this baby.
It is pretty goddamn adorable, this puppet.
And then they're like, oh, the flag's coming out.
You better take your hat off.
Come on, baby New Year.
Show respect for the flag.
And begrudgingly, he does.
And everyone, including Ben, fucking Franklin.
Franklin's laughing at this baby.
Just laughing at a baby.
That baby should have burned the flag.
I think he's got a right to at that point.
Burned Ben Franklin's fucking house to the ground.
Also, am I to believe that this is the ghost of Ben Franklin?
Is that what's going on?
No, he's the father time of 1776.
Oh, that's why he only lived one year.
And that's why he, as was the style of the time,
he was a Ben Franklin impersonator.
whatever so they all and he picks up a knight from the 1023 and ben franklin and now we've got our own little mad monster party going on right and the night is uh uh frank gorshyn yes and so blibbity blab let's get to the end of this fucking thing we are on an icy mountain sure that's where eon lives yeah the buzzard is like got maybe new year up there and he's going to keep him forever rudolph goes up there well first of all of his friends get put into snowby
And you want to talk about poor production design.
Rudolph, everyone's frozen in snowballs and the buzz is like, I can go to sleep now because everyone's fucking dead.
And he goes to sleep.
And Rudolph's nose burns through it.
But what happens is, let's just put a Christmas light in a styrofoam ball.
It's so obvious.
It's amazing.
Dude, we're sitting there.
My wife goes, wait, his nose gets hot.
Hot to the touch that nose is.
I guess so.
It would have been better if everyone just got this E.
got Bumble fucked, right?
Oh, the bumble comes out?
Because there were pals at the end of it.
Dude, that's the thing.
DSX Bumble, dude.
Dude, Yukon Cornelius comes in
riding that fucking Bumble.
The Bumble beats
this vulture to death.
Oh, yeah.
End credits.
Happy New Year to everybody.
I'm finished.
Yucon Cornelius
is cooking and eating it over the end credits.
Oh, yeah.
Vultures are great.
Yum, yum!
There's also a dumb cartoons,
an honest to goodness cartoon sequence.
Oh, right.
Because they kind of retcon this movie
because Rudolph is older at the end of it
and they don't make mention.
It's like Yukon, Cornelius,
like got held up in contract negotiations.
And they couldn't use him.
It doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, I don't know what's going on.
Maybe it's like a...
Is it a...
No, it's not really an epilogue
because he's grown up like in most of that movie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's stupid.
And so basically, Rudolph tells Baby New Year while the vultures asleep.
It's like, hey, you got to embrace yourself.
Let me sing you my song.
Here this goes.
And he's like, oh, that's cool.
Take your ears off.
He laughs at him.
Even Rudolph, the most bruised by the hatred of others.
Yep.
Has to laugh at this fucking kid because it's so funny.
And this is when he's basically like, well, tough did baby New York because it's fucking funny.
And the baby is just like, yeah, I guess so, Rudolph.
I guess, no, you know, that's what the moral of the story is.
I don't care who you are.
That's funny.
Oh, man, you can say what you want.
I don't care who you are.
That's a funny word.
You know what?
Grin and bear it, all right?
Hey, Rudolph, here's your side.
I don't care who you are.
I can say that word by own house.
That's a funny word.
Yeah.
And so basically the baby takes his hat off.
He's to keep it off forever.
You're beautiful or something.
They get the vulture to start laughing.
laughing at the baby and then the vulture just like all right that was funny i agree to turn into
ice and snow and die no he doesn't because he's laughing so hard and laughing forever apparently
they're like well now he's laughing and he won't have to turn into ice and snow but you can
still be father time and okay credits here you come well it makes no sense well it's like you get
joker gassed for the rest of time because they're like oh the laughter is going to keep him warm
therefore he won't turn into ice and snow and again again
Again, I say, big ears aren't funny.
So I don't know how this buzzard is laughing for eternity.
They have to get him home, by the way.
So this all happens.
It's like, oh, we've got to get them home within the 12 bongs of the New Year's side.
One happens at gong, gong, like, bongs.
Yeah, I got it.
Yeah, fucking bongs right in this screenplay.
And if you watch this, you might want to have one handy.
Oh, you'll need one.
Oh, just a couple of tall glasses of water to say the least.
And also, they're like, how the fuck are we going to get back in time?
Santa pulls up, and he's like, here's my sleigh, get in.
And Rudolph, you get up front and you fucking lead this again.
You're not done working yet, reindeer.
And I'm like, wait a second.
Were you watching them the whole time?
Why didn't you intervene at any point?
Santa's just been, he's the phantom menace, observing from afar, manipulating.
It's amazing.
He's like, I can't she throw all there's snow.
That's not a factor at all in this movie.
That happens for two seconds.
He's in the desert the next scene.
Dude, clear his day.

I was like, fuck you, Santa.
You're just tired.

I mean, the lore of Santa is that he's always watching.
He watches you while you sleep.
Anybody else looks excited for that crampus movie?

Not really.
Yeah, I guess I'm the only one.
It's fine.
It's whatever.

It might be good.
I'm not like not a.
excited about it. I'm just not thinking
about it ever. I just think it could be fun.
I'll say this. I went to see
Crimson Peak
in the theater and they had a preview for it and
the preview appears as if like
they don't really know what kind of a movie
they want it to be. That's fair.
At least in the preview it's totally all over the place to the
point where when the preview is over with, the audience
was so confused that one guy was
like, what?
And the whole theater started laughing. As if
like he didn't understand if it was a real
movie or not. I mean, it's got to be a
comedy right that's i think it's a horror movie though well i see adam scott i just start giggling
oh well dave keckner's in it too i think i mean yeah i'm it's probably going to be like a horror comedy
kind of thing i don't know uh was anybody embarrassed watching this because that's the end of it by
the way thoroughly yeah sure it was you know i i i'm glad i saw it i guess apparently there's
another one with snow uh with uh frosty they're doing something i guess there's a trilogy of these
