Geez ... it looks like Rankin-Bass was a high production animation factory farm 😮. Here are four more stop motion animagics that I was not aware of. They sure have squeezed every drop out of 'Christmas'🎄 If you are masochistic enough 😉 to endure this onslaught of Rankin/Bass, you can do a 'Study' of the animation and puppet build quality throughout the years. Example: The earlier animation might be slightly jerky & stiff compared to the newer animations where the puppet movements might be a little more smoother and the puppet fabrication may have a more finessed quality.
'The First Christmas' - 1975, length 23:43
'Nestor - The Long Eared Donkey' - 1977, length 24:32
'Rudolph & Frosty's Christmas in July' - 1979, feature length, 1 hour 37 min
'The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus' - 1985, 48:39

Rankin/Bass also produced many 2D cartoon works for series and other projects. OUCH ... this is too much. Going to take a long break from Rankin-Bass! For just about everything that they produced, here is a Wiki page. They got most of it but maybe only missed a few >> List of Rankin/Bass Productions films
