Question of the Day, Wednesday, December 21, 2022

[neely]

Happy Whiskers Wednesday and official first day of winter here! We've talked about Christmas/holiday movies but how about your favorite ones when you were a child whether animated or live action. I remember watching the movie, Heidi, with Shirley Temple when I was growing up. It took place in the Swiss Alps. For some reason I could watch it over and over again. I just loved the grandfather.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CHILDHOOD CHRISTMAS/HOLIDAY MOVIE?

Too long ago to remember. Maybe Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

 

[NY cat man]

Either It's a Wonderful Life, or A Christmas Carol. There weren't all that many Christmas movies back when I was a kid.

 

[Arya Underfoot]

Gremlins and any of the Peanuts Christmas specials

 

[Jem]

There are a few...Any of what I call the "original three" cartoons. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966), Frosty the Snowman (1969) and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964). A little later, I fell in love with Home Alone/Home Alone 2. But there's one cartoon that you just NEVER see anymore and I loved it.
The Nutcracker Prince (1990).

I also loved Disney's animated version of A Christmas Carole...I think it was Mickey's Christmas Carole (1983). And of course, A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
There are more I'm sure...
I still love watching all of these movies, I make sure I get to see them at least at some point during the holidays.

As a small child it was Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I was 8 when it came out.

The Year Without a Santa Claus. It still is. It features my spirit animal:

I think Rudolph was the only Christmas cartoon when I was a child. Peanuts Christmas when I was in my teens

How The Grinch Stole Christmas & A Charlie Brown Christmas

 

[neely]

I loved to watch the old black & white films, still do, particularly Miracle on 34th Street.

 

[Margot Lane]

Didn’t have teevee as a kid in the woods, and the nearest theatre was an hour away. So, books of any sort was what I liked.

 

[catloverfromwayback]

Never watched Christmas movies as a kid. Or as an adult, for that matter.

 

[PMousse]

The one that instantly popped into my head is Home Alone. I always want to watch it come Christmas time

 

[game misconduct]

probably any of those old clay animation movies they used to marathon or show every holiday season jack frost, frosty the snowman or rudolph

 

[DreamerRose]

I can't remember any from back in the-black-and-white TV days, but I did like Frosty when it came out.

 

[strider rose]

garfields christmas , a year without santa claus and rudolphs shiny new year

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I loved this awful TV Christmas movie from like 1995 as a preteen/teen called The Christmas List. If I watched it now, I'd probably think it was super corny and full of bad acting. I also liked Home Alone and Home Alone 2.

 

[Lari]

A lot of them!

Care Bears Nutcracker
Muppet Family Christmas
Muppet Christmas Carol
Rudolph's Shiny New Year
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Nestor the Long Eared Christmas Donkey

I'm sure there's more I loved.

I totally remember this movie!

 

[OopsyDaisy]

I not sure if it was a Christmas movie but for some reason, I remember Hans Christian Andersen being such a magical movie when I was a kid. The one with Danny Kaye. We are going back a long way now...1952.
