When we were younger, we'd watch the stop motion Rudolph, and my mom would always shake her head, and say, "Santa wouldnt do that." She is very vocal when there is a subpar Santa.

[@GORETIME600]

Rise of the guardians is based off a young adult book series. It’s a very good series. Has 4 books and gives a backstory to each character. The movie, though different from the book and missed out some of my favourite bits, it did so well at capturing the magic and wonder of the books. Though North is the book…. 🥰 I highly recommend the series. It’s a fun and engaging story.

[@Dragonbug126]

I've never noticed by how fabulous Mrs. Claus was! Also, I watched Klaus on repeat for about 2 weeks after seeing it for the first time. It's actually amazing!

There's the ongoing theory that all of Rankin/Bass's Christmas movies take place in the same continuity. And if that's the case, I really want to know how the young cheerful Santa from "Coming to Town" became the grumpy old 8!tch from "Rudolph".

that's why i see it more as a multiverse than a "cinematic universe" even rudolph becomes a bit of an asshole himself in the shiny new year movie. i don't think rudolph from the 1964 movie is the same rudolph as the 70s sequels, same with santa. no way asshole bully santa from rudolph is the same as the sweet kind generous kris kringle.

[@MuppetHell]

I haven't got to the point yet but a fun fact about the SCiCtT Kris Kringle and the YWaSC Santa: in Rankin/Bass canon they are the same guy. Mickey Rooney voices both and because of that it connects the two movies. It also connects them with using the same Santa puppets (and Mickey Rooney voicing again) and in not mentioned film Rudolph and Frosty Christmas in July which combines Rudolph Shiny New Year, Frosty Winter Wonderland (not the first frosty, Paul Frees voiced that santa), and the two others mentioned along with some non christmas R/B films The first Rudolph isn't considered canon because that north pole is never shown or are the characters brought back

[@helixsol7171]

You should definitely watch the sequels and show, because honestly they're pretty great imo. They definitely help to improve Scott a little and the lore is pretty INSANE.

[@lavender_fields]

YES. I watched every single episode and movie at least 2-3 times and I also think they did help Scott improve in my opinion. There’s so much more to unpack in the rest of the series than just the first movie, which is pretty cool.

[@sketchnotes2246]

One thing I always liked about Santa from "Olive the Other Reindeer" (totally underrated special by the way) is that after all the presents have been delivered, he saves some presents for his staff and crew. That's really thoughtful, and you don't see many Santa's acknowledge the elves like that! It also leads to one of the elves dropping what I think is the funniest line in the special: "Uh, boss, from an insurance point of view, the jump ropes, probably not a wise idea."

Santa from Santa vs. The Snowman better be on this. Not only is he kind and forgiving to the snowman, but he also has a giant nutcracker mech

The Mrs.Claus in this movie is also so cute and iconic and I love her. They're all british but I think they'd deserve a pass because it works and the film was made by Aardman (yeah, the Wallace and Gromit guys!). the elves in this movie are also cool as shit?? like. they're kinda like military spies that use cool tech and acrobatics to deliver the toys, the opening gift delivery scene is sick as hell i really need you to see it.

[@thecolorfulstar5290]

If you’re going over Dora the Explorer, I have a theory that may not fully be just a theory. Dora has multiple different timelines(or universes?). There’s at least one branch of that I can bring up, the Christmas special where Swiper swipes Christmas, because if he keeps Swiping or not creates two different outcomes. •Swiper swiping Christmas- Dora and the gang get time traveled to the future where Swiper never stops swiping Christmas and Dora still lives in the forest, she is older and taller than the 7-8 year old Dora that we follow •Swiper fixes Christmas- After seeing the future of misery that comes with swiping Christmas, Swiper fixes his actions and Christmas is back on and everything is happy, but assuming the Dora and Friends into the city series is a direct cannon aftermath to the series and not another separate timeline from the main one, Dora’s family moves to the city and when we see an older Dora she’s away from the friends that she’s known since they were all toddlers. This is assuming that Swiper getting on the nice list does not just rewrite the future that Dora and the gang visited, but instead creates a new timeline. Some reboots could be considered possible alternative timelines as well if we want to address them. Anyways I hope you have a great day, and thank you if you read this

[@sarahasp3418]

I had completely forgotten about the lion guard

[@spoiledoatmilk]

the aggression for a perfect santa is so unhinged and i love it

[@Lia-jm4wh]

I can’t decide if you’d love or dislike the Santa from Rankin Bass’ adaptation of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. On the one hand he is a dilf with two mothers and learned his laugh from listening to the music of the frozen valley where he lives--on the other hand he’s probably the least magic santa. All his powers and feats are from his connections and networking with to a series of pagan deities. but the reason they help him and bestow these powers is because they admire him so much. it’s like his love and caring made him worthy of their blessings. Like this Santa is literally beloved by the world itself.

i'm so happy to see the santa from santa claus is coming to town represented! he's one of what i call the christmas claymation twink holy trinity, alongside hermie and jack frost (the 1979 one, not the ROTG one lol)

[@evefarrel]

Klaus is an amazing movie. I watched it for the first time last year and it was so good.

[@123emilymason]

This is the best list! We need a Rudolph tier list!

[@oliverking2525]

absolutly stellar video good santa selection no notes

[@romanprice6032]

Next year do Santa paws 2. There's an entirely different Mr. and Mrs. Clause

[@cherrybubs]

haven't even started the video but I have to say your whole christmassy outfit, with the makeup and headband and such is sooo cute and slayyy 🤩🤩

[@paulajones3856]

Can't we forget Frosty the Snowman's Santa, The Powerpuff Girls' Santa and Shimmer and Shine's Santa?

[@LyriumSpectre]

Thank you so much for introducing me to Klaus, omfg I cried so hard?!?! It really didn't have any right to be that good, but I'm SO glad it was. Instant classic indeed, adding it to our annual Christmas rotation ❤

[@starwarsfan5]

Should've done the various iterations of Santa from Aardman's Arthur Christmas, I love that movie and it has a really great unconventional approach in my opinion

[@22kitten33]

Honestly, my favorite Santa has to be the one from violent night. It was awesome and the Santa was badass! Highly recommend! I feel I should warn about the amount of pessimism from everyone even Santa, but the ending plus Santa’s badassery and the little girls sweetness all make it worth it. Especially the little twist at the end where I was crying! It’s not for the faint of heart but if you wanna see a Viking Santa…

[@clairemcdaid4310]

He may not have the looks or ho ho ho but Arthur from Arthur Christmas is one of the best santas (And I count him because he became Santa at the end of the movie so he does count)

[@tomdragamer]

There's so many Santas I would have suggested so I would love a second one of these Santa rankings

[@drewschissler3097]

Another great video Athena. We wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

[@Poptropica729]

I’ve been looking forward to this one since you posted your December schedule 🎅 hope you have a merry Christmas Athena!

[@kaykaydj0825]

PLEASE DO A GUARDIANS OF CHILDHOOD VIDEO (That's north's backstory)

[@damienwonder]

Please please please! rotg and tgoc are my childhood/ #1 autistic fixation

[@mysteriumbros8386]

If you do this again, please include vampire Santa from billy and Mandy. It’s one of the most memorable Christmas specials to me

[@kendrickdinger]

Your rankin/bass Santa rant is my most recent favorite thing ever!!!

[@ewilliams4410]

A Year Without a Santa Claus is one of my favorite Christmas movies and I was today years old when I found out there was a live action. Thanks I hate it.
