lzfan715 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I love the ones that aren't cartoons, but they aren't real people. Like Rudolph and The Island of Misfit Toys, those sorts of things. I think it's puppets or something, I'm not really sure. Anyway, I just love those kid's Christmas movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepyep Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hi all, A Charlie Brown Christmas here too. The characters are just so lovable. December 14, 1999 Charles M. Schulz announces retirement Cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, creator of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the Peanuts gang, announces his retirement after more than 50 years of drawing the cartoon for syndication. Schulz was battling cancer. Schulz was born in 1922 in St. Paul, Minnesota. The son of a barber, Schulz showed an early interest in art and took a correspondence course in cartooning--but scored poorly. After serving in the army in World War II, Schulz returned to St. Paul and took a job lettering comics for a small magazine. In 1947, Schulz began drawing a comic strip called L'il Folks for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The strip featured a hapless young character named Charlie Brown and his gang of friends. In 1950, after several rejections, Schulz sold syndication rights to United Features, which renamed the strip Peanuts. Schulz drew the comic himself, without assistants, until his retirement in 1999. Peanuts ran in 2,600 papers, in 75 countries and 21 languages, and earned Schulz $30 million a year. Schulz died in 2000. Mary Hartman was hot too!
