Santa Claus is Comin' to Town with only the Winter Warlock scenes.

[@christianbryan7474]

There’s just something about these old cartoon windy snowstorm effects that mixed with that generic wind sound just feels cold and windy and ominous.

[@johnluckett3573]

It teaches you "MORALS, KINDNESS,AND SHOWS THAT WITH KINDNESS A PERSON CAN REALLY BE TOUCHED", WHICH YOU APPARENTLY YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!!

[@zaxbitterzen2178]

Even years later this scene still makes my heart melt. All any of us want is some love and understanding.

[@johnluckett3573]

This brought tears to my eyes tonight from 52 YEARS ago when l was 7

[@JoshuaOrro-MustangPrinceOR-YTB]

Winter starts out terrifying but he becomes a miracle after his heart melts

[@tablettablet3028]

I gotta say, Rankin/Bass sure knew how to design menacing-looking villains

[@christopherjordan6235]

Burger meister Meisterburger is the real villain

[@romansotelo7240]

Yep

[@southernmercy5962]

Winter wasn't such a bad guy after all.

[@CannedShrimp]

A true friend was all he needed. As a hermit myself I must say having the one friend I have truly did melt my heart of ice

[@jackcarraway4707]

​​@@CannedShrimpI'm surprised he never gotten any more backstory other than he's just an asshole wizard who lives in the forest.

[@johnluckett3573]

​@@jackcarraway4707Look at yourself in the MIRROR 🪞 BEFORE PREJUDGING OTHERS!!!

[@FilmmakeroftheFuture]

He just needed a true friend.

[@FilmmakeroftheFuture]

@@jackcarraway4707One fanfic said he was created by another warlock and just never got any love or presents prior to becoming friends with Kris.

[@thomaskessinger2114]

Even as an adult, this guy could still give you goosebumps sometimes.

[@bluebunanimates6590]

Omg he was probably my favorite from his movie when I was little

[@The-3DComputerAnimated-Fan]

1:35-1:38 Winter: “What is this...A TRICK” • My Favorite Details

[@maxeveleth2875]

This movie, particularly the Warlock, is my annual spiritual reawakening. Can’t start a new year without it ❤

[@OrangeMarmalade22]

Winter, please,

[@En1ow]

Oh my god he scared me so much when i was a kid

[@melissacody3134]

Same same!

[@MonsterMashMasterC95]

Me too. But now I love them both!❤

[@1lunawolf263]

Same.

[@LordVanOskuro]

And when he changed?

[@Northdracula]

Cold Saruman

[@Vanillamilkshake_420]

When me and my class first saw him, we said “ice king get out of our movie!” Yes we were 4th graders but can you blame us, after we have seen ice king and now the winter warlock, we had to make the joke

[@wwheezer]

Funnily enough I saw the winter warlock before I saw the ice king, also my family has the dvds of these stop motion movies, except the snow and heat miser one

[@ESolo]

I, myself. Then he got the choo-choo, and he wasn't so scary then. Gahsh, I love that scene.

[@janzizka9508]

If you can believe it the Ice King 100% has his roots here. Pendleton Ward a fan of Rankin Bass? Wouldn't surprise me

[@FilmmakeroftheFuture]

I made the connection the minute Adventure Time debuted!

[@lichenlich]

thank you so much. I watch this while I scheme

[@adamedits702]

You bet! :-)

[@NinjagoGuy416]

Amazing what a simple act of can do isn’t it? 🥰

[@patrickdepew4976]

Keenan Wynn gave a great voice performance in this.

[@jimfishnteeth5217]

He's just like me fr fr.

[@Kship202]

Yes! I always related to the warlock. He was my favorite even as a child. Also, one foot in front of the other is the most amazing song. I'm 38 and I still enjoy listening to it.

[@shermanhatch2716]

“ AH I’M CROWDED! Heh heh but at least I’M loved

[@robbiewalker2831]

5:12: We’ll no wonder his potion was powerless; he stored it in a tin can, turning it into raisins!

[@Nick-ty9us]

Keenan Wynn brought such humanity to him that you do feel sorry for him

[@womanishthing1997]

Is it just you and me in the wreckage of the world?

[@jackcarraway4707]

0:20 This scene has haunted my dreams since I was 5.

[@alexcrawford5350]

Wow, he’s got a huge frame.

[@robbiewalker2831]

5:47: God answered Winter’s Prayer, it’s a miracle!

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

RIP Kennan Wynn

[@ryanward652]

I love this guy

[@lilanthony21O_]

Winter Warlock would scare me sometimes

[@OrangeMarmalade22]

Winter, please

[@OrangeMarmalade22]

Just call him Winter, PLEASE 🙏 ❄️

[@ECtransformertoysOffical]

0:23 Dang it gets me every year this specials on

[@alexcrawford5350]

Wow, he’s huge.

[@josephzielinski8817]

RIP Keenan Wynn (7/27/1916 - 10/14/1986), Francis Xavier Aloysius James Jeremiah.

[@Nick-ty9us]

His father was the voice of the mad hatter in Alice in Wonderland

[@biblegirl]

And that snowball is why we don't do that dang elf on the shelf.

[@kodyandrewmaxwell3580]

0:27 & 0:41 my favorite scene

[@invisibleenenra9596]

I remember seeing this movie in the 1st grade

[@romansotelo7240]

Loved Kenan Wynn's uptight NY accent in this movie.

[@Nick-ty9us]

His father was The great comedian, Ed Wynn in those times where the Kenan almost does an impression of his father

[@marcusshaw1796]

USED TO SCARE ME AS A KID

[@rileycross4359]

That film is holiday and shameless does ice king or winter warlock did give a gift.

[@nelsonwalker7105]

someone thinks liek i do if they make a santa claus is coming to town video with only the winter warlock scenes

[@greenlantern4486]

3:11 did he just put his Choo Choo train in his sleeve

[@darkglass3011]

Winter Warlock: Ha! ha! ha! I'm going to eat you, but I'll start with your Penguin friend first! *Notices the scarf* Winter Warlock: *GASP* Peri the Penguin?! Winter Warlock may very well be Dr. Doofenshmirtz's ancestor with the pointy nose, hunched back, and his love for choo choo trains.

[@crvmommy86]

You left out the best scene where he sings and dances “Put one foot in front of the other”.

[@groobly6070]

Lol I never noticed that the winter warlock is like 10 feet tall. Dude doesn’t need magic to put the hurtin on Burgermeister’s soldiers

[@RostinSpringer]

Anyone agree that he sounds like the town drunk?

[@marcosspinetti7996]

You mean the drunk from the 1945 movie starring Judy Garland and Robert Walker, _The Clock_ ? Because the Winter Warlock is played by the same actor, Keenan Wynn.

[@tylerlawrence1997]

Cool. OG ice king

[@eliza7511]

great lines, amazing (i'm not such a loser after all!") but no SONG? "put one foot in front of the other" is one of the all-time great pieces of 70s pop art!!

[@UltimateThanos]

🥺He really is St. Nicholas…

[@angelopatterson226]

When i saw this as a kid in the 70s he scared the daylights out of me him and the snowbeast monster in Rudolph the red nosed reindeer 😮😊

[@alyssapachos882]

Scary

[@BDNeon]

I never quite understood the whole flickering pupils thing Rankin bass liked to do like there at 2:38, it always struck me as jarring and strange looking like some sort of animation mistake.

[@SSVCloud]

He's supposed to be blinking rapidly in surprise.

[@gamrr_NERD]

And that’s how Antarctica was made.

[@michaelconnor]

i'm not crying. You're crying

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

After befriending Kris, he gained his name Winter, right?

[@Venuz610]

5:44 im starting to think that this is connexlcted to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, wince the deer all looked familiarly the same to the adults in the movie(Rudolph).

[@demarcusjohnson9891]

Bris part of creepypasta to gen z childhood trauma

[@bms3928]

He gave me the creeps as a kid

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

Put 1 foot in front of the other

How is this a Christmas Special? There is 0 mention of Christ.

[@wwheezer]

Because the main character is santa claus

[@Kship202]

Not true. It mentions baby Jesus and the wise men giving gifts towards the end of the movie. It's the very reason Kris Kringle gives.

[@ESolo]

"Oh, please... let me have... just a little magic..."

[@fjccommish]

@@ESolo The real magic is Christ - his sacrifice to save all people.

[@ESolo]
