Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a 1964 stop motion Christmas animated television special produced by Videocraft International, Ltd. It first aired December 6, 1964, on the NBC television network in the United States and was sponsored by General Electric under the umbrella title of The General Electric Fantasy Hour. The special was based on the 1949 Johnny Marks song “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” which was itself based on the poem of the same name written in 1939 by Marks’s brother-in-law, Robert L. May. NBC will air the special annually starting in 2024, having previously done so until 1971. From 1972 to 2023, the special aired on CBS, which unveiled a high-definition, digitally remastered version of the program in 2005, re-scanned frame-by-frame from the original 35 mm film elements.

    I used to LOVE when these came on TV. I have the DVDs for a few of the claymations and I will break them out next week (when school’s out). Hard to believe it’s almost Christmas. It always comes so fast once Thanksgiving has passed.

    When I was a child I had never heard of Rudolph ! Just didn’t exist in Germany or at least in the part where I lived. When I started to learn English I also met Rudolph !

    “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” is such a timeless holiday classic! The story behind its creation is also heartwarming, with its roots in the song and poem by Johnny Marks and Robert L. May. Looking forward to its return to NBC! Thanks for sharing this piece of holiday nostalgia. 😊
