When most folks think of Christmas classics, Rudolph, Charlie Brown, the Grinch and Frosty, immediately come to mind, but here's an animated classic that deserves some attention, too.
You can immediately see and hear the Hanna-Barbera touch in this classic and the feel-good touches really push this over the top. I don't care how hard anyone would try, today, you simply cannot capture the innocence of these classic animated Christmas specials.
When a park ranger at Yellowstone explains what Christmas is all about, to two young bear cubs, he sets in motion their desire to stay awake and see Santa and enjoy their first Christmas. In the process, they push their Mom's patience to the limit, but with the ranger's help, they will do their best to see the wishes of the little cubs come true....if a blizzard on Christmas Eve doesn't disappoint everyone.
I love the animation of this classic and the majority of the tunes in the special...probably the last song is the only thing keeping this from garnering a solid ten from me.
