One of the Worst Rankin Bass specials


So bad. It's terribly boring, the animation looks like shit, and the main character is so unlikable. Even at 25 minutes it's painful to sit through.

It was shot darkly and is in dire need of a cleaner transfer. The first time I watched it I didn't care for it but I gave it another chance and it has somewhat grown on me. It's still not one of my Top 5 in the Rankin/Bass catalog though. The ending is the best part of the story.
