The year without a Santa Claus
About
Three times as much holiday cheer...on one merry DVD! From the magicmaking Rankin/Bass studios come three unique and beloved Yuletide favorites boasting delightful stop-motion animation, catchy songs and family-pleasing stories. In The Year Without a Santa Claus, weary St. Nick foregoes his gift-giving journey, leaving Mrs. Claus and two spunky elves to reawaken the Christmas spirit in Santa and the world's children. Roger Miller tells and sings the saga of gentle Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey, an outcast chosen for an important task: escorting a certain expectant couple to Bethlehem. In Rudolph's Shiny New Year, the brave red-nosed reindeer is drafterd by Father Time (Red Skelton) to recover the missing New Year Baby.
Starring the voices of Mickey Rooney as Santa Claus, Dick Shawn and George S. Irving ; narrated and sung by Shirley Booth as Mrs. Claus in "The Year Without a Santa Claus".
