Christmas in July

(1979)

This is like the ultimate puppet-toon movie: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, Jack Frost, and Santa Claus are in it! The bad guy is this evil wizard who has a magic scepter of "solid ice" (what other kind of ice is there?), and he tries to defeat the lot of them with a ridiculously complicated plan involving a circus, magic amulets, mind control, a tornado, an evil reindeer, reinsnakes, a fake cop, and Ethyl Merman riding a giraffe. It's fucking insane. Frankly though I think they should've taken it even further: can you imagine if they threw in the Little Drummer Boy, Nestor the Donkey, Peter Cottontail, Baby New Year, the fucking Christmas leprechauns, and that weird-ass Earth-2 Santa who was raised by the lion and shit? It'd be like the Crisis on Infinite Earths of puppet-toons, and would probably be only slightly more incomprehensible.

Seriously, they need to get crackin'. I'd pay good cash money to see that.
