Alvin is a little shit most of the time, though.

...

gonna have to go nuclear here

1/10, I only watch it to shitpost with people.

...why do you watch the Chipmunks christmas special then?

holy crap, i thought that was just a rumor.

Search your feelings. You know that Rankin/Bass Christmas specials do not hold up even slightly.

Yes, even Rudolph. None of them are good.

They're good for kids, ok to laugh at as adults.

It's ok for some things to be more tradition than quality.

as an adult I find Rudolph horrifyingly mean spirited with a fucked up moral

Also the grinch wasn't the bad guy. The whos where just shit bag neighbors who took delight in wasteful excess

You posted the wrong Grinch movie

>Christmas
>November
This year especially I'm not feeling it.

Oh man.

You are missing the treat of a lifetime.

Got drunk and watched that a few years ago.
I never need to see it again.

My in-laws know I'm /vr/ and I've subjected them to this on multiple occasions. It's bad in just exactly that perfect way they're not sure if I'm being ironic or if I really see something in it they don't.

were the ninja turtles the minions of the late 80s/early 90s?

...

They made a new Pac-man Christmas special

no

>every kid gets their own special Christmas wish delivered by Santa
>except one of them
>instead of just using one wish so she'd get her wish, they all expend their wishes
>her wish was just to be with her friends all along

The Grinch lived on top of a mountain; calling the Whos his neighbors is a stretch.

Face it: the Grinch went as Grendel as he could while still being in an animated Christmas film, and he was lucky that the Whoville was nice enough not to (or did not have) a Beowulf to send after him.

Fun fact: the original cut of the film didn't have the shot of them going to rescue the misfit toys at the end. They had to add it later because they thought the whole situation was too downbeat otherwise.

No, you.

Date and quality.

Refer to Only in that live action thing were the Whos horrible people.

In the cartoon they just embraced the spirit of instantly

In the movie they were gonna have a nervous breakdown before that little girl spoke up

*embraced the Christmas spirit instantly

It's really fun if you're on acid.

the chimpmunks is a shit-tier franchise. there's never been one single worthwhile thing ever made with the Chipmunks characters. all the shows and movies are fucking shit. yes, even the Chipmunks Movie you pedos.

I still think "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" is pretty good

Are you saying you dont like the music

>le funny squeaky voices

of course i fucking don't

bad taste

Chipmunk Adventure was actually good tho.

like i said, only pedos like it

So the entire point of that was to make people beat off to the Chipettes, right?

I love Felix the Cat, but this special was just plain terrible.

This Annotation version is funny though.

or if you're gay there's always the other angle

How am I supposed to beat off to the Chipettes here if they're so tiny?

That's not what I was talking about user

I know, but the question still stands.
What sort of straight man goes for an exposed midriff look? Is he supposed to be gay?

The Christmas Tree
Name a worse animated Christmas special. You can't! Seriously, Grandma got ran over by a Reindeer is a masterpiece when compared to this.

you tell me

No it's not.

I wonder how much the actors hated it. Also,I can't believe lumpy is canon.

Britfag here.

About a decade ago in the UK there was a broadcasting error on Boomerang channel where there was nothing but christmas special being aired for the whole day. It was probably an error because it was the middle of July.

Unlike American audiences I have no nostalgia goggles for the 1964 Rudolph special and it came off as really weird to me. The story is all over the place and the random songs seem like they were just thrown in for the sake of having a song.

The weirdest move was Rudolph's Shiny New Year, where he has an adventure with a caveman, a knight, and Benjamin Franklin.

Honestly, I find The Christmas Tree one of those "so bad, it's good" kind of movies.

It's such a wonderful, fantastic mess.

Honestly I've seen far worse.

Never heard of Christmas In July? Seriously, it was a thing years back.

It was for me.

Hey everyone, Hermey wants to be a dentist!

My dad still sings silver and gold just to embarrass people.

I remember, watching this thing for the first time, I literally broke out into an unprovoked, uncontrollable, hysterical laughter of pure insanity.

I don't know about the UK but US Cartoon Network used to do Christmas in July marathons during the Summer.

We used to have a Christmas ornament that would play the Jingle Jingle Jingle song whenever you pressed a button. My dad would play it over and over nonstop just to annoy us.

Me too.
Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer, not so much.

>GRANDMA'S GONNA SUE THE PANTS OFF OF SANTA

Why are we talking about Christmas Grinch when Halloween Grinch was less than 2 weeks ago?

Never liked the whole Santa Claus isn't real until the ending thing.

But this year gave the best gift of all

Unless you're a hater

Was this the only time?

I had this on vhs but they renamed it to Grinch Night, removing Halloween from the title. Had no idea this was a Halloween special until a few years ago.

That was a serious pain to sit through.
Felt like it lasted 4 fucking hours, but it's like 35 minutes or something.

isn't she going to marry Robotnik?

...

Dude even in the fucking cartoon they where obnoxious cunts. Really look at this thing.

Yeah, see all I got from this short was

>The whos get to celebrate their holiday but the grinch doesn't get his.

That's religious discrimination

HAHA WHAT A FAGGOT

Oh shit, that's the one with the WINTER WARLOCK.

Metal as fuck.

>The weirdest move was Rudolph's Shiny New Year, where he has an adventure with a caveman, a knight, and Benjamin Franklin.

dude that's the BEST one, for exactly those reasons. don't forget the fucking whale

Totally forgot about this. I used to see it all the time on USA when I was a kid every Christmas.

They express themselves via the performing arts. So what.

there's a line you cross from 'making music' to 'making a lot of fucking noise'

look at freeform jazz, for instance.

Fuck you it's not even Thanksgiving

It's like you have no imagination at all

Thanksgiving is over doofus.

>You know that Rankin/Bass Christmas specials do not hold up even slightly.

That's what makes them fun to watch.

Yeah, in Canada.

I'm French and supermarkets put the whole christmas thing late October because nobody wanted to force Halloween this year (understandable with the terrorist threats)

Would anyone say it's the The Room of Christmas specials?

The Nostalgia Critic was right. She's not that bad looking.

pretty sure nothing can beat that old star wars christmas special

Not the worst, but certainly the most obscure in concept

GOTTA GET A GIFT

t. Heat Miser

I unironically kinda like the art in this.

I sang it back in 2012 to make jokes about Ron Paul.

The cartoon is the only barely good part

Holy shit this is bad

>yfw Jefferson Starship out of nowhere

Luke looks kinda alright, but what the fuck did they do with Harrison Ford's face?

Fuck off, Doug

You are not fooling anyone

This special is only notable to me because of Chuck Jones' involvement. It's just so fucking bizarre to see the chipmunks with his distinctive style.

I don't hate it, but in retrospect a lot of Rudolph is a big blank, the whole story doesn't stick with you like other Christmas specials.

I can at least give you a reasonable outline of Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer and it's been years since I've seen it though maybe Cartoon Network just drilled it in really hard, but all I can tell you about Rudolph is that he's bullied, an elf wants to be a dentist, and there's a yeti in there somewhere.

>not loving their new sludge album

What a shitty taste

Can you believe Nelvana was also making this around that same time?

Oh, shit. That movie.

The fact the made they all dogs-creature still weird to me.

"Hey, we are gonna make a movie about a Mick Jagger impersonator fighting against a sexy cocaine-filled Debbie Harry, but we need the Disney crowd to watch it. Turn them into funny looking dogs!"

I remember my 2nd grade teacher talking about how MLK was a powerful man who wanted to bring change for children, and I said "Like the Burger Meister from that Santa Claus cartoon?"

She told me to go outside the room and scolded me for ten minutes.

That is some of the laziest animation I've ever seen. Also why do all the kids look like Elmer Fudd?

>phenmominal cosmic power.
>so powerful, he just teleports everywhere
>so long lived, he forgets how to walk
>Chris Cringle shows up
>sings a song
>warlock walks and feels happy again
>loses all his power
>only spell left makes reindeer fly

LESSON FUCKING LEARNED
Fuck happy, gain power.

Yeah boy.

TMNT wes never popular
