78) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys (2001)
You think that an early-2000s CGI movie pulling from a classic like Rudolph would be rather shit, except...they did try at least. Yeah, the animation has aged, and the new characters stick out A LOT, but it's...okay regardless.

It took me so long to realize why The Toytaker's design irks me so much...

This movie might be "peak!", actually.

Anyway, I'm watching "peak?" fiction tonight.

There's also color palette shifts for Old Man Winter and Jessica. The former is obvious, but I like Jessica's a lot. It starts off muted, despite her orange hair, but after she breaks Kris and Winter from the dungeon, finalizing her side in the story, her clothes are saturated to match Kris more.

77) Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (1970)
I like the way this film tells Santa's backstory; If a certain soda company were to ever die, we should canonize this as to why Santa's suit is red. Also, this is probably the Rankin-Bass special with the songs I know most of by heart (least their melody).

76) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
I prefer the much later outings from Rankin-Bass for holiday specials, but this one is still iconic for its characterization of the titular song and its other ditties. Though...holy shit; Santa and Donner are literally toxic as hell; what IS their damage?

Reminds me of one of my favourite Twitter videos that I don't think is on here yet...
"Ace Attorney witnesses when their contradiction gets caught in a cross-examination and they avoid your argument telling you have no evidence to support this accusation"

75) The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974)
I needed to watch this again ASAP since not only is it one of my favourite Rankin-Bass holiday specials (the Miser brothers are iconic and I love how cozy Southtown is), but also because I needed to isolate this whole scene since I do think it's kinda raw.

74) The New Shmoo (1979)
Yes, I actually watched the entire series. This is the first of those Hanna-Barbera self-ripoffs of Scooby-Doo that I've seen, but I think it fairs rather well. Especially given the few episodes which DID actually have an actual creature in it with no smoke and mirrors.

Also, in the next episode; I'll be damned. An actually neat shot.

So I ended up rewatching this episode since I forgot if I had or not. How the hell did I let that noise slip past me on the first go?

73) Wicked: For Good (2025)
It's striking how eerily symbolic to current events this got, and all the while some of the most tense interactions with characters I've ever seen played out as everything lined up to the original story. I will concede that the second act is a little "?????", though.

72) Wicked (2024)
Being my first direct exposure of any form to this musical, I was enthralled by the way it establishes things that tie into events set to transpire in "The Wizard of Oz". The casting is spot on for these characters too, the set design is immaculate, and god that last shot...mmmmm.

71) Kirby Air Riders (2025)
Although this is primarily a multiplayer focused game, its story mode is...well, not MUCH, I'll agree, but it did have many moments I popped off at specifically near the end of both routes. Also, its main narrative is brief, but the implications it insinuates are wild.

70) Zenless Zone Zero [V2.3] (2025)
Gave this a more rapid run-through since I really wasn't planning to continue on much afterward, but certainly cements the Spook Shack characters as the most fleshed out in this entire game, especially the three featured here. These folks have been through it...
