November 30, 2023… #movieoftheday is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964).
“ Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a 1964 Christmas animated television special produced by Videocraft International, Ltd. and currently distributed by NBCUniversal Television Distribution (later known as NBCUniversal Syndication Studios ). It first aired December 6, 1964, on the NBC television network in the United States and was sponsored by General Electric under the umbrella title of The General Electric Fantasy Hour . The special was based on the 1949 Johnny Marks song " Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer " which was itself based on the poem of the same name written in 1939 by Marks' brother-in-law, Robert L. May . Since 1972, the special has aired on CBS ; the network unveiled a high-definition, digitally remastered version of the program in 2005, re-scanned frame-by-frame from the original 35 mm film elements.
“As with A Charlie Brown Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas , Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer no longer airs just once annually but several times during the Christmas and holiday season. It has been telecast every year since 1964, making it the longest continuously running Christmas TV special in the United States. The 50th anniversary of the television special was marked in 2014 and a series of postage stamps featuring Rudolph was issued by the United States Postal Service on November 6, 2014. A special exhibit was also mounted at the Masterworks Museum in Bermuda where the original puppets are held. In 2019, Freeform (formerly ABC Family) started airing the special as part of its 25 Days of Christmas/Rankin-Bass Christmas holiday programming block.
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was initially met with a positive reception among critics, who praised the voice acting, soundtrack, animation style, characters and sets. Although the special continues to receive this praise, critics have become more skeptical of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 's core themes and overall message, particularly those on bullying, outcasts and leadership. Despite the analysis, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is often regarded as one of the best Christmas films ever made, being featured on numerous "top ten" lists. It has become widely popular among both young children and adults, familiar with the Christmas season, and has garnered a large cult following since its initial debut. - more at Wikipedia .
