"Bishop's Wife" tickles my weepy bone...somehow, the 'believe when reason says not to' O'Hara 'lesson learned' of 'Miracle on...' doesn't bother me as much in this one, even with a bishop and an angel in tow...Monty Wooley, James Gleason, Frankenstein and Charles Laughton's bride...Sarah Haydn and the rich nasty lady converted to nice~~ Estelle Winwood??
      Even the GOOD dog who goes to angel instead of bishop at dinner table...the magic mail sorting....the skating, the 'hat', Regis Toomey as parish minister...unreal. Niven and Grant flipped coin to choose roles....right outcome. And the broken glass in bare feet of "Die Pardner" failed to make Coz Brucey Willis not 'what you talkin 'bout' enough.
      Your critique Justified. Film seems like the propaganda shorts shown in schools 50s and 60s. "Man Who Came to Dinner." "Christmas in Connecticut' too well connected to cut. Danke, young person.

    AI Jesus is what we've been expecting.
    Many SF authors, over the years, have written stories about religious organizations which, while trying to discover God, actually end up building God.

    Somebody in the thread already mentioned Dan Haggerty played Grizzly Adams on a 70's TV show. That's legendary enough, but in 1963 he played one of the caped muscle men in the Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello movie Muscle Beach Party, which makes him a golden god, in my estimation.

    I would say to call this a musical, there has to be some plot progression through song. It narrowly passes with the "Christmas Light-Off" where Jennifer redeems Burton by singing him into a puddle. As long as we're calling that a song, this is technically a musical, as barebones as the music is.

    Here in the states, we've grown up with animated Christmas movies since 1964: "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "A Charlie Brown Christmas," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town," and I've only barely started; there were so, so many, mostly in the 60s and 70s, waaaay long before 1995 (AND they were GOOD). Who did they think they were kidding with "the first animated Christmas movie"? It's an insult to Rankin/Bass.

    Dan Haggerty was an animal trainer that worked in Hollywood training bears. He became famous when he starred in a wildlife adventure movie about a man exploring the mountains finds an orphan bear cub and they become friends. The film would inspire a TV show in the 70s about a true life mountain man named Grizzly Adams that was set in the 1800s, unlike the movie that was set in modern day. But it was basically the same premise. Man with bear friend.
    He was known for his epic beard. Picture Kurt Russell in The Thing only on steroids.
    That is if it's the same Dan Haggerty. He was a staple of American TV in the 70s and then very quickly forgotten.
