00:00:32,237 --> 00:00:37,701
If I live to be 100 I'll never be able to forget that big snow storm a couple of years ago.

00:00:38,207 --> 00:00:44,531
The weather closed in and, well, you might not believe it but the world almost missed Christmas.

3
00:00:45,454 --> 00:00:46,735
Oh, excuse me.

4
00:00:46,735 --> 00:00:47,966
Call me Sam.

5
00:00:48,425 --> 00:00:49,316
What's the matter?

6
00:00:49,316 --> 00:00:52,199
Haven't you ever seen a talking snowman before?

7
00:00:54,382 --> 00:00:55,956
Nice around here, isn't it?

8
00:00:56,371 --> 00:01:00,429
I call it Christmas Town, better known as The North Pole.

9
00:01:01,674 --> 00:01:03,595
Christmas Tree Forest, yep.

10
00:01:03,796 --> 00:01:05,024

00:01:12,041 --> 00:01:16,417
Of course, the number one citizens up here are the Claus', Santa and the Mrs.

15
00:01:16,417 --> 00:01:20,049
They live right there, first castle on the left.

16
00:01:20,279 --> 00:01:22,996
Matter of fact, the only castle on the left.

21
00:01:31,713 --> 00:01:34,718
I'm busy, mama. It's almost Christmas!

22
00:01:34,718 --> 00:01:37,199
Whoever heard of a skinny Santa?

23
00:01:37,199 --> 00:01:39,017
Eat. Eat.

24
00:01:40,124 --> 00:01:43,292
Now, don't any of you worry your heads about Santa.

25
00:01:43,292 --> 00:01:46,868
Mrs. Claus will have him plenty fattened up by Christmas Eve.

26
00:01:46,868 --> 00:01:48,973
It's always the same story.

27
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,528
Ahhh. I love this Christmasy time of year.

happy and smooth like it is this season.

Rudolph?

34
00:02:12,305 --> 00:02:17,166
Huh. Could it be that some of you are not 
acquainted with the story of Rudolph?

35
00:02:18,643 --> 00:02:21,181
Well, pull up an ice block and lend an ear.

36
00:02:22,088 --> 00:02:26,054
You know how Santa uses these 
flying reindeer to pull his sleigh?

and Prancer and Vixen...

It all started a couple years before The Big Snow.

44
00:04:03,813 --> 00:04:09,515
It was Spring time and Santa's lead reindeer,
Donner, had just become a proud papa.

45
00:04:12,391 --> 00:04:15,450
We'll call him Rudolph.

of hiding Rudolph's, uh, non-conformity.

101
00:07:00,212 --> 00:07:04,024
Donner taught Rudolph all the ins and outs
of being a reindeer.

How to get food, how to fight off enemies,
things like that.

Most important of all, he taught his son to beware of the Abominable Snow Monster of the North.

00:07:20,647 --> 00:07:25,407
He's mean. He's nasty. And he hates 
everything to do with Christmas!

00:07:32,621 --> 00:07:37,618
Now, aside from The Abominable, 
business goes on as usual...

109
00:07:38,648 --> 00:07:41,268
and soon it is right before Christmas.

110

Come on!

Ah, youth!

179
00:11:29,539 --> 00:11:32,553
Meanwhile the elves are bustling with activity.

180
00:11:32,553 --> 00:11:37,331
Christmas is over but they still keep busy
with lessons and elf improvements.

181
00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:40,846
All elves for elf practice!

182
00:11:42,184 --> 00:11:43,910
Well, let's get this over with.

183
00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:45,852
I have to go down and look over the new deer.

184
00:11:46,189 --> 00:11:47,260
Okay, Santa.

185
00:11:47,613 --> 00:11:49,862
Now let's try out the new elf song I wrote.

186
00:11:49,862 --> 00:11:52,592
And remember: it's for Santa!

187

Hmm. Well, it needs work.

215
00:13:33,042 --> 00:13:34,146
I have to go.

216
00:13:34,577 --> 00:13:35,020
[door slams]

217
00:13:35,497 --> 00:13:38,291
What does papa know? It's beautiful!

218
00:13:38,291 --> 00:13:40,525
You keep it just the way it was.

219
00:13:40,525 --> 00:13:42,530
Papa! Papa!

00:13:42,530 --> 00:13:43,088
[door slams]

221
00:13:43,980 --> 00:13:46,262
That sounded terrible!

222
00:13:46,262 --> 00:13:48,690
The tenor section was weak!

223
00:13:49,105 --> 00:13:51,466
Wasn't our fault, boss! Henry didn't show up!

224
00:13:51,466 --> 00:13:52,336
What?!

225
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,598
Now, this won't hurt a bit.

[tap tap tap]

227
00:13:57,564 --> 00:14:00,406
Why weren't you at elf practice?!

228
00:14:00,406 --> 00:14:02,603
Just fixing these doll's teeth!

229
00:14:02,603 --> 00:14:03,849
Just fixing-

230
00:14:04,172 --> 00:14:05,384
Now listen!

231
00:14:05,384 --> 00:14:10,944
We have dolls that cry, talk, walk, 
blink and run a temperature.

232
00:14:10,944 --> 00:14:13,728
We don't need any chewing dolls!

233
00:14:14,081 --> 00:14:16,998
I just thought I'd find a way to fit in.

234
00:14:17,228 --> 00:14:19,288
You'll never fit in!

235
00:14:20,072 --> 00:14:24,665
Now you come to elf practice and learn
how to wiggle your ears and chuckle warmly...

236
00:14:24,665 --> 00:14:28,316
..and go hee-hee and ho-ho,
and important stuff like that.

237
00:14:28,869 --> 00:14:29,954
A dentist!

238
00:14:30,476 --> 00:14:31,708
Good grief!

240
00:14:35,512 --> 00:14:37,651
No, I just can't.

241
00:14:38,066 --> 00:14:41,352
It's like he said. I'll never fit in.

242
00:14:47,027 --> 00:14:49,751
I guess I'm on my own now.

243
00:14:55,582 --> 00:14:57,833
Hey, look! Does!
