THE STINGIEST MAN IN TOWN TV MOVIE 1976 1 HOUR StorylineThis version of the story is told from the perspective of B.A.H. Humbug. After Ebenezer Scrooge refuses to assist the poor or have Christmas Dinner with his nephew, he is visited by the ghost of his one time business partner and friend, Jacob Marley. Marley tells him to change his ways and Scrooge refutes this as madness. He is then visited by three ghosts, all who show him what his future will be like if he doesn't change his ways. TriviaRankin/Bass Productions made The Stingiest Man in Town (1978) because The Stingiest Man in Town (1956) had been transmitted live. For years, a recording was thought not to exist. The animated special was meant as a new vehicle for the music from the original production, in order to preserve it for copyright reasons. However, a kinescope version (filmed right from the TV while the 1956 version aired) was discovered in 2011, and has now been restored and released on DVD PINICCHIO'S CHRISTMAS TV MOVIE 1980 1 HOUR StorylineIt's Pinocchio's first Christmas, and he sells the book Geppetto gives him for present money, but Cat and Fox trick him out of it. So, Pinocchio becomes part of a (Christmas) Marionette show to make present money. He steals a girl puppet when he leaves, and the gendarmes chase him into the Forest of Enchantment. There, he meets Azora, a fairy with a cricket who try to fix Pinocchio's lying and set him on the right track. But then he's sold to a Duke, whom Pinocchio convinces to spend time with his children. And only Santa's reindeer can get Pinocchio home in time for Christmas . TriviaAllen Swift based Fox's voice off of Sydney Greenstreet. He had used the same voice years earlier for The Invisible Man in Mad Monster Party? (1967), also produced by Rankin/Bass. THE LEPRECHAUN'S CHRISTMAS GOLD TV MOVIE 1981 25 MINUTES StorylineAn Irish sailor is stranded on an island full of Leprechauns and soon finds himself aiding them in protecting their gold from a greedy Hag. TriviaThe song "Christmas in Killarney" was not written for this program, but was in fact a popular song from the 1940s. It was famously recorded by Dennis Day, who lent his voice to several other Rankin/Bass specials.
