*shrieks quietly* I had this squirreled away on the DVR and watched it JUST LAST NIGHT so I've been singing the Snow Miser's portion of the song all day, and had to look it up on youtube because I couldn't remember all the lyrics, and then I had it stuck in my head and have been desperately trying to think of ANYTHING ELSE to sing. Also I looked up the two actors on wiki but didn't know who they were. Nevertheless, it was an interesting read.

ROFL at the glass sculpture!!!! Brilliant!!!!

I remembered parts of this very vividly. The Misers and their little vaudeville routines, of course. And also, for some reason, Vixen with socks on her ears.

The stop-motion animation seemed a lot jerkier and more rushed than Rudolph, which was rather annoying.

I, too, wondered why Mrs. Claus abandoned her masquerading plans for no apparent reason, but your reason of 'so the plot could carry on' makes (the only) sense. Also, I thought it was so sweet how instead of having pure white hair she had those little butterscotch strands still mixed in there.

Mother Nature was absolutely awesome, as was her parklike environment. She had a bird's nest on her hat, for goodness sake. With a bird on it. I mean... best character who was only onscreen for thirty seconds EVER. She should have gotten her own freaking series.

I had to look up desiderata. "Desiderata" (Latin: "desired things") Cool.

What awesome timing!!!

I agree--I loved the little butterscotch strands! ("Butterscotch" is exactly the right word for them, too. *glitchnod*)

Mother Nature reminded me of the margarine commercials, the one that said, "It's not NICE to fool Mother Nature!" She had great presence! (both the margarine one, and this one).
