'Twas The Night Before Christmas (1974 Christmas Special)
Classic TV Special! With Joel Grey as....Everybody.
Every character in this animated special looks like Joel Grey.....
Two that I really liked but haven't seen in years were The Tiny Tree (featuring narration by Buddy Ebsen and a couple of songs by Roberta Flack) and The Night the Animals Talked.
That special bothered me even when I was a kid. It made no sense- if the kid mouse didnt believe in Santa, why would he send him hate mail? And why would Santa (who has all-knowing powers) believe that the letter really was from every kid in the town?
Looking like Joel Grey...and sounding like George Gobel or Tammy Grimes
