Serious question.

Would any of you be interested in me setting up an alternate account here for art (SFW and NSFW)?

Twitter is looking like more and more of a bust, and I’d really like to get back into art, maybe even start taking commissions to make some money.

@pilferingapples I Saw You Try To Hide This In The Tags:

And yes, I absolutely agree. As someone who absolutely dislikes the original song, I get a little annoyed that people use pictures from the Rankin/Bass special to criticize the song’s lyrics, because the special does a lot to fix most of the issues with the song. Just the fact that there’s a whole scene of the characters apologizing to Rudolph and Hermie a while before the storm has become an issue makes it clear that they aren’t just saying they like Rudolph because they need him. It’s almost as though director Romeo Muller looked at the original song and story, said, “Hey, wait a minute…” and went out of his way to fix that specific issue.

(If anything, Rudolph’s Shiny New Year is a lot worse with its message, although I suspect I don’t see as many people complaining about that due to it being less popular.)

Ranking All the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Specials

So, I’m in the process of finishing the script for a review of all the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer specials. However, I don’t know if I will realistically be able to complete my video before Christmas, so here is my ranking of every Rudolph special, from best to worst.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964): Despite all the memes (“Deviation from the norm will be punished unless it is exploitable!”), the original Rankin/Bass Rudolph special holds up much better than most of the internet gives it credit for. It has memorable characters and songs, it is well-paced and does not try to cram too many subplots into its runtime, its stop-motion animation was quite good for the time (and has a unique charm nowadays), and it actually fixes most of the issues with the original song and story. It’s a classic. 9.5/10
