Pinocchio's Christmas (1980)

I had to locate Pinocchio's Christmas via interlibrary loan since it only exists on videocassette. This Rankin & Bass production features stopmotion puppets as in the company's other Christmas specials. It's a bit of a Gift of the Magi tale blended into the Pinocchio story with characters and original music that are passably well done. It's not as memorable as the other Rankin & Bass programs but if you can catch this one each Christmas season, it could become part of your annual holiday viewing tradition. 3 stars.
