At least their voices don't drive a man to drink like the other Rankin/Bass piles of ass.

Rankin and Bass's animation is always a bit lacking, but this story challenging beliefs and logic regarding Christmas has a deeper meaning than some Christmas fluff piece. It's a great story about faith, reason, and being a nice person.
