    • @adultmoshifan87
      @adultmoshifan87 Před 4 měsíci +4

      I think the animation fits this special very well! Plus it’s good to have cartoons that look different to others, as long as it’s justified! I can’t deny that bad animation exists, Angela Anaconda, Rapsittie Street Kids, Mr. Pickles and Legends of Chamberlain Heights being particularly bad offenders, but if you animate your show in a different way and it turns out to be well loved, you’re doing something right! Despite being a straight person, one of my favorite cartoons in the late 2000s is Rick and Steve The Happiest Gay Couple in All The World, and not only does the gay humor in that show crack me up, I like how they chose to animate the show with Lego-esque figures, something they pointed out in the DVD extras had never been done with commercial animation before! Olive here aired on Channel 4 here in Britain every Christmas from 2015-2019 and I’m very pleased to have gotten to watch it in that time, it’s a classic and I hope to show it to my niece (who’s 3 years old at the time of typing) someday!

There's just something very endearing about Olive being so determined to help however she can, even if people don't believe her and even if she's not actually a reindeer. She just honestly wants to help, even if people laugh at her; This pup that's been called weirdo most of her life for not acting "normally".

    You know what, that postman didn't doubt that Olive could do it. Everyone else supported her, but they didn't really think she could do it. Martini only partly believed in her when they were at the North Pole. The Postman fully believed that Olive was fully 100% capable of saving Christmas. Sure, he mocked her once when she told him, but that doubt didn't last. He believed in her, and he was committed to stopping this dog from saving Christmas.

      You kinda understand where he was going with how glad he was when Christmas was canceling, having to deliver so much around the holidays without ever getting a rest can leave someone bitter but he made it some sound like he was the only one doing all the deliveries. There’s plenty of postal services that have to deal with that around the holidays but they put up with it. Postal service is in fact an essential job. Maybe he picked that job because it was all he could qualify for, who knows.

    Olive’s speech to the bar patrons is one of my favorite Christmas speeches of all time.
    Even if you aren’t feeling jolly, why make terrible memories for yourself to remember Christmas by? You don’t have to be super good, but does that really mean it’s okay to be bad around the only time of year where you don’t have to feel that way?

    I remember seeing this in the early 2000s. I was obsessed with retro games at the time (I had just bought an NES from a store that sold used video games and consoles) and I bought a game to go along with it. The game sucked and the console itself didn't work too well. I was disappointed so I went downstairs to watch a rerun of Olive the Other Reindeer and it made me feel better so I'll always associate this movie with me feeling better.
    Also the guy who wrote this Christmas special also wrote for The Simpsons which explains why it's clever and funny. He wrote Hurricane Neddy which is one of the best episodes imo.

    This is undoubtedly my generations Christmas classic. I vaguely remember getting the VHS to this in 2000 and watching it routinely, whether it was on VHS, cartoon network, DVD or etc. The music is unforgettable, the message is strong, and the humor is charming regardless of the age gap. Seeing this again after almost 15 years of not seeing it was like being transported into a bygone era of my life again. As an adult I was able to appreciate the more subtle jokes, like the one with Richard stans. Hearing Dan Castellaneta as the post man, you can also hear his Homer Simpson at times, but the fact I didn't draw the comparison for years really shows how well he did the role lol.

    The Postman is probably the best Christmas- special villain I've ever seen! Most Christmas- special baddies just hate Christmas because they're kind of jerks, but the Postman actually has a rather valid reason for it (As someone who has seasonally worked as a loader at a UPS hub, I know firsthand what a nightmare the Christmas season can be for anyone working in the mail/ parcel delivery service; Still I got through it by instead keeping in mind that I was playing a small role in helping others have a happier Christmas). The fact that he's voiced by Dan Castellaneta, aka the voice of Homer Simpson, makes him even cooler, plus of course his villain song rules!
    For that matter, ALL the songs in this amazing special are wonderful!
    My mom is a retired 2nd grade teacher, and she said that one time when she showed this special to her students, they all applauded at the end of it!

      Damn reruns of modern Cartoon Network shows like We Bare Bears, Teen Titans Go! and Steven Universe on Christmas Day 2016 but on the bright side, you can watch old-time Cartoon Network Christmas favorites on Boomerang. Go check it out and see for yourself. I miss the good old days of Cartoon Network Christmas.

    This has always been my favorite Christmas movie next to Home Alone. The nostalgia is real. And crazy to think this was made by Matt Groening, many jokes on this feels like something out of Futurama tbh. Just in a kid friendly movie.

    It’s that time of the year again!
    I still watch this every year.
    This is such an underrated classic.
    Cute plot.
    Lots of funny and clever jokes.
    Characters have different personalities.
    Dan Castenetta as the postman is freaking brilliant.
    Animation is very interesting and unique.
    Perfect for the whole family.
    Thanks Matt Groening for producing this!
    Merry Christmas everyone!🎅🏻🎁
