Least favorite X-mas Specials
I know this list is going to get glutted up with "Star Wars Holiday Special" and the live action TMNT video, but what are some other ones you just didn't get?
I'm going with Sonic Christmas Blast. I mean, does it even have a plot? I mean, the basic "cartoon super villain ruining Christmas and the super hero saving it" is trite enough. And while I did appreciate them trying to combine Sonic Sat AM with The Adventures of Sonic the hedgehog, all it was was Sally in a non-speaking role (because they were to cheap to get Kath Sourcie, or too stupid to get another actress to do her voice), and mentioning Robotnik's henchmen as Swatbots, dispite them not looking ANYTHING like the SATAM ones. I did enjoy seeing Robotnik, Scratch and Grounder animated decently for a change, but that was about it. Surely all that stuff could wash off a duck's back, but I haven't told you the ending. You see, Sonic has a ring (that Sally convieniantly gave him) that has some symbol on it, which leads to the explaination of him getting super speed if he follows a prophicized ritual. that is he has to run a random obstical course that apparently has been around for hundreds of years, and yet a bike and a handglider are convieniantly available as it the set up was put there hours ago. All and all... crap. Pure crap. |
I have to turn to movies to come up with the worst...Jingle All the Way. I thought it was funny when I was 10, I was easier to impress then.
There was a website saying Scrooged was bad, but it's actually one of my favorite Christmas movies. As far as TV, Woodland Critter Christmas from South Park is my all time favorite Christmas special. |
Yea.. Jingle All The Way is pretty bad and unfortunatly I got that for christmas one year... :P
Im not sure of any other film that was bad. Maybe a couple animated ones like "Rudolph's Shiny New Year" (why was that even needed? ) or "I Want A Dog For Christmas, Charlie Brown"... Sorry Rerun Van Pelt...Neither Spike or Snoopy wants ya...but hey... just be thankful that Charlie Brown defeated a bully for ya. :P |
Actually, I did like that "I want a Dog for X-mas, Charlie Brown" special. Oddly enough, the part about Spike and the cat next door was animated before in the Charlie Brown and Snoopy show, albiet differently. My least favortie Peanuts special would have to be the bizzarre "The girl in the Red van" or whatever it was. Some odd liveaction/animation Roger Rabbit type thing they made in the 80's. It was all about Spike. The others are timeless (though the original christmas special had dated refferences to Aluminum artificial trees), but this one just was toooooo 80's.
I would also say I'm no big fan of Christmas movies, myself. I love Christmas Story, I love Scrooged, and I really do like Muppet Christmas Carol (though, until OZ came out, it was my least favorite that I had seen). Jingle all the way blows, but I would never ever dare to see "Surviving Christmas." All it is is a crappy knockoff of Meet the Parents. |
my least favorite Christmas....animated...thingy...is Grandma got runover by a Reindeer.
The song is about your drunk granny getting killed by Santa....the cartoon is about your evil cousin planning to take over while granny has amnesia :roll: |
