“Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit. You can't fire me, I quit! Seems I don't fit in.” It's a Rankin/Bass “Animagic” Christmas Spectacular here at Movies That Made Us Gay, and we watched “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “The Year Without a Santa Claus,” “The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus,” and “Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey” with our friend Harper Thomson and we still want to visit the island of misfit toys. These charming stop-motion animation TV specials from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s have been airing for as long as any of us can remember, and it's just not the holidays until we watch at least one of them. What little queer child didn't feel seen as Rudolph was banished from gym class and made to hide his light?  Little Hermey the elf just not feeling his 9-to-5 job making toys really speaks to the Gen Z in all of us, and are you even queer if you don't shed a tear when that raggedy doll sings her song on the island of misfit toys? All that and a ginger daddy/bear who loves dogs (and peppermint), and it almost seems as though this was made for and by the gays. There was just something in the sauce Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass were churning because each of these specials just tugs at your heartstrings and makes the little queer kid inside us weep, laugh, and light up. Oh, and the Heat & Snow Miser's songs are high camp, burlesque magic.  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

Take Rudolph, but replace the nose with big ears. And add Jesus. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/not-stalgia-podcast/message

Have you ever watched Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and wondered if all the bullying might be better with a firmer helping of Jesus? That's basically Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey, a shorter ripoff of Rudolph with a truncated plot and fewer compelling characters. One of the more forgettable entries into the Rankin/Bass canon, Ian struggles to understand the point of this mess. Be sure to check out all of our other holiday episodes, including coverage of most of the Rankin/Bass stop motion specials. 

SYNOPSIS: Strange moving puppets utilizing famous people's voices to bring both tears of joy – and of terror – to children through musical theatre and dance that defies the laws of physics, for Christmas.

As our Christmas gift to our dad, Toby and I covered his favorite Christmas special, Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey! (Essentially the Rudolph story, but during the Nativity) Enjoy, and happy holidays!

It's a little bit ironic that today is Festivus, yet we are watching the most religious of our Christmas specials, the 1977 Rankin/Bass claymation "Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey". It's your classic underdog story of how a ridiculed misfit becomes an unlikely hero, but was it any good? And does it still have a place in 2020?

Is it possible for a production company to sue themselves for plagiarism? Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey (1977).

We head to the Middle East to look at the The Little Drummer boy story -- along with its sequel -- and Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey. It's something of a re-telling of the Nativity Story via side-characters.

IT'S CHRISTMASTIME!!! :D :D :D Elora and Shelby kick off the holiday season with The Little Drummer Boy, The Little Drummer Boy Book II, and Nestor the Long Eared Christmas Donkey. Our Rankin and Bass movie marathon has begun and not even the Grinch could stop it!

This week, Julia, Thom, and Anthony travel all the way back to Bethlehem, courtesy of Rankin/Bass' 1977 classic, Nestor, The Long-Eared Christmas Donkey! This Christmas special also marks the elves' second foray into the niche genre of films that cover the Nativity Story from the point of view of an animal who was there. So is this another typical Rankin/Bass episode with Anthony on one side of the fence, and Thom and Julia on the other side? Or can little Nestor, with his long ears and gentle eyes, convince one of the Tulsans to enjoy a Rankin/Bass classic? Settle in with your favorite holiday drink, relax, and find out!

Nestor: A Christlike Christmas Movie Nestor the Long Eared Christmas Donkey is certainly underrated, and this Rankin/Bass special tells the Gospel in a way that many movies cannot. A hideous donkey is hated by every other living creature, except for the one who dies out of love for him. Nestor's life feels meaningless and full of suffering, yet he finds purpose at the birth of Christ. #Movies #Christian #Advent #Christmas #ChristianMovies #RankinBass #BabyJesus #NestortheLongEaredChristmasDonkey #Nativity #MovieReviews #Nazarene #ChurchoftheNazarene

It's a special show to ring in the goofy holidays, featuring our interview with official Rankin/Bass historian Rick Goldschmidt! You know Rankin/Bass. It's the legendary animation studio that produced all those classic holiday shows, starting with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in 1964. Lots more wonderful cartoons followed, including Santa Claus is Comin' To Town (which gave us Burgermeister Meisterburger), The Year Without a Santa Claus (which gave us the Heat Miser and Snow Miser), 'Twas the Night Before Christmas (that's the one with the mice and the clocks), and yes, Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey. Beyond the holiday specials, Rankin/Bass was also responsible for Mad Monster Party, The Hobbit, The Last Unicorn, ThunderCats, and so much more. Rick's first book, The Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass, is an invaluable resource for nerds like us, and his latest book celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of Frosty the Snowman. Here on the Flopcast, Rick discusses the amazing talents behind the scenes at Rankin/Bass, many of whom he knew and worked with, including: character designers (and Mad magazine artists) Jack Davis and Paul Coker, Jr.; voice actors Paul Soles (Hermey the elf!), Bradley Bolke (Jangle the elf!), and Larry Storch (come on, LARRY STORCH!); composer Maury Laws; writer Romeo Muller; and the guys who started it all, Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass. Also discussed: Rick's experience as a guest this year at DragonCon, his picks for a couple of lesser-known Rankin/Bass projects we should all see, and his appearance on the TV show Collector's Call with Lisa Welchel! (That's right, Blair from The Facts of Life. You know we needed details.) Also this week: A holiday concert (and a new holiday EP) from Boston alt-rock legends Letters to Cleo, Speedy Ortiz, Grant's Advent Calendar, and Marisa Tomei. (Frosty would have a special message for Marisa: Happy Birthday.)

Kevin and the Mayor road trip down to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for an evening of science and silliness with George Hrab and the Skeptics' Guide to the Universe. (We assumed Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey would meet us in Bethlehem... but we had a lot of growing up to do.) Meanwhile Kornflake checks out an online concert by our favorite sci-fi pop band, the future of the future, The Fantastic Plastics. And we're trying to figure out if Kornflake was ever married to Billy Joel. We may be right, and she may be crazy.

Can you believe it's been four years and we haven't discussed a single Rankin/Bass special yet? (That live-action remake of The Year Without a Santa Claus doesn't count. It'll never count. Fight me.)  Anyway, this week we're diving deeeeeeeep into the Rankin/Bass catalog to discuss the 1981 special The Leprechaun's Christmas Gold! It's about leprechauns trying to stop a banshee from stealing their gold before Christmas morning. Why leprechauns? Why Christmas? Why anything? Later, we move on to discussing Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey. That's right, you're getting two Rankin/Bass specials for the price of one. Looks like the luck of the Irish is on your side this week! Questions/Comments? Email us at XmasCreeps@gmail.comTweet us @ChristmasCreepsVisit us on the web at ChristmasCreeps.com!

Day 12: We try to make more accurate donkeys in Nativity displays catch on like a certain elf on a certain shelf by revisiting the 1977 Rankin/Bass special, “Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey.” On This Episode Mike Westfall (@fallwestmike), slave-driving stable owner who sounds like he belongs on Pirates of the Caribbean. Lindy Kempe (@ieatvideogames, animal-inspiring and video game-eating cherub. Brandon Medley (@brandmed), Santa’s favorite snow plow puller from Blessed are the Geek. Topics and Tangents Roger Miller performing “Do Wacka Do” in 1966 with another guitarist, “Stubbs,” who’s wearing a Batman T-shirt. Roger Miller’s “Whistle Stop” intro to Disney’s “Robin Hood” is secretly the Hamster Dance. Tilly’s ascension back to heaven is strikingly similar to Poochie’s exit from “The Itchy and Scratchy Show.” Mary has “the Glow” from “The Last Dragon.” Annalee Santa dolls.

AMC is televising "Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey" for the 2018 holiday season, with (sometimes very early) morning broadcasts on December 12th, 21st, and 24th. It isn't a Rankin-Bass classic, but it is worth the time to look back at the 1977 half-hour special. So far, the only commentaries of this sort I've done have been for Rudolph and Nestor. Make of that what you will.

It's a quick show this holiday week, so you'll have plenty of time to dedicate to avoiding your family. But in the spirit of the season, we play a round of Figgy Pudding Pages, and discuss if kids prefer cool electronic games or weird hair appliances for Christmas. Also: A Flopcast correspondent reports live from Florida with a very festive Chickens in the News update. Plus: More 90s fun with MTV's The Real World, Elvis Costello, and Crash Test Dummies. Now it's time to pop in that DVD of Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey and relax. Pass the nog, please.

It’s the holidays, folks! And you know what that means. It’s time to get DEEP into some weird holiday traditions that people around the world put up with to drunkenly end the year with! Join us for our first holiday special and learn that maybe the greatest gift of all is telling a friend about our podcast.Topics covered: The Christmas Prince, Sufjan Stevens, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Nester the Long Eared Christmas Donkey, The Yule Lads, Wacky Traditions, and Mega Christmas

Comedians Frank Conniff, Trace Beaulieu and Carolina Hidalgo drop by the studio and talk turkey with the podcast gang, and rage on Ryan for disliking pumpkin pie. Yes, it's Holiday Movies With The Mads! Along with the figgy pudding and pecan pie and that damned fruitcake, there are holiday movies out there are simply tradition. The Mads grab a fork and dig into Gremlins, Die Hard, A Christmas Story, Jingle All The Way, Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas, and Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey. Then Frank, Trace and Carolina debate which foreign holiday food would be better for consumption: raw blubber and fermented birds (Greenland) or fried worms (South Africa)? In the “Mini Soda Review,” everyone samples Pelligrino Aranciata, a blood orange flavored beverage just not to Frank’s liking. The podcast gang also discusses a very special episode of the Revival League, our original black comedy, “Soylent Scrooge: Or Christmas Is Made Of People,” airing December 19. All this, and an Audrey II and a Stranger Things Demogorgon locking lips in a truly disturbing public display of affection, on this week’s episode of the Revival League Podcast! (This podcast does not represent Alternaversal, Shout Factory or the Kickstarter campaign in any official capacity). EDITOR’S NOTE: In June 2019, this podcast merged with the Damn Dirty Geeks Podcast and became The Damn Dirty Drive-in. These are our classic back catalog episodes, dating back to March 2016. Please enjoy! The new Drive-In podcast opens for business with original sketches, movie discussions, interviews, weird food tastings and more at Episode 168.

Wendi is rejoined by very dear friends, Bill Zanowitz of the "Comic Book Bears" podcast and writer of "The Crimefighter Inquiry", and writer/folk artist Jeff "Bean" Douglas. They have a full and lengthy discussion of the best Christmas comics from Batman, Starman, DC digests, X-Men, Lobo and Disney to name a few. Things take a hilarious turn in their discussion of best holiday songs as Bill explains the history of "Nestor the Long Eared Christmas Donkey" and a favorite album of a drag queen and some mentally challenged children. So pull up a glass of eggnog, break open the longbox and celebrate the season as we tell stories of which comic characters are Jewish, tragic deaths of artists who worked too hard and why "Diner" is the best holiday movie.

In this episode: It's a Christmastime marathon of Rankin/Bass specials. Every year we devote a handful of episodes to Christmas movies/specials. This year we only had time to record 1, so we made it count. This is a massive 3 hour episode wherein we discuss 6 specials from top to bottom. The specials inculded are Leprechaun's Christmas Gold, Nestor the Long Eared Christmas Donkey, The First Christmas: The Story of the First Chrismast Snow, The Little Drummer Boy (1 & 2), and Pinochio's Christmas. If some of those things sound bizarre to you, it's only because they are. I hope you and enjoy this episode and have a great Christmas. Also: we say Dynamation several times when we meant to say Animagic. That is a thing that no one but us would notice or care about anyway, but there it is.

Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey is the first Rankin / Bass production Will talks about this year, and it might be one of the stranger ones at that. Then: It's Christmas morning, 1980-something, and Will and Dan are anxious to unwrap animated specials based on toys and games! Will they be as excited once they actually see what Santa left in their stockings? (Spoiler: No.)

A character with an unusual physical trait is made fun of for most of this special.  Haven't we heard this story before?

The boys circle around the fireplace to bring you one more Christmas episode before Santa's big day. Talk includes gift giving etiquette, believing in Santa Claus and their best Christmas memories. Holiday themed productions discussed are, Rankin and Bass' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey, Jack Frost, Home Alone 2: Lost In New York, Elf, Saved by the Bell's Home for Christmas, Home Improvement, the Office (UK series) and the Star Wars Holiday Special. Before the show ends, Anthony unintentionally brings down the mood, then pays homage to the greatest Christmas character of all time, 90s Canadian sensation, Snow. 

This time DM and Vinnie are joined by friend of the show Ed Sizemore to talk about some of the lesser known Rankin-Bass Christmas Specials, Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey, The Leprechaun's Christmas Gold, The Stingiest Man in Town, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, and Rudolph's Shiny New Year.

Kevin and the Mayor are back in Chickentown with a full report on the craziest convention of the year: DragonCon! Featuring: Land of the Lost's Will, Holly, Chaka, and a Sleestak; Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey; the Karate Kid and Ponyboy Curtis; Match Game in the 25th Century; Mystery Science Theater 3000's Joel, Trace, Frank, and a photobombing Tom Servo; concerts by Molly Lewis, Mikey Mason, and Anaria; way more chicken-themed costumes than you'd expect; and yes, a Weird Al Dalek. 'Twas a long, strange weekend -- hopefully we'll readjust to reality (and catch up on our sleep) just in time for DragonCon 2015. Meanwhile, Kornflake prepares for National Play-Doh Day, which suddenly seems quite reasonable and mature.
