I'm kind of in a hurry tonight, so this one will be even briefer than the others! This is fine, because there's not a whole lot of in-depth analysis one can make of (most) Rankin-Bass Christmas films. Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July (directed by uh... Rankin and Bass) is cute but a little baffling to the unaware. It goes back in time a bit to explain the true origin of Rudolph's powers, not a special inborn talent but the gift of a benevolent goddess at birth. Wizards and magic and guys turning into horrifying trees abound.
It also feels a bit longer than it has to be, but I was rarely bored. It's a little too insane to bore anybody. I'd perhaps recommend it as long as you're willing to truly immerse yourself in the Rudolph Cinematic Universe.
7/10
