Raggedy Ann & Andy meet While E.Coyote
I beleive this special first aired in 1978.That was when I first saw it.The one thing that really got my attention and sticks in my mind the most,is Alexander Graham Wolf's striking resemblance to While E.Coyote.I suppose that's partly due to Chuck Jones.It was like seeing Raggedy Ann and Andy meet While E.Coyote"super genius".

5 stars for the cartoon, 1 for the actual videotape.
My copy at least, was a terrible one. If you want this film, seek out a copy of the original video release first, which was the double feature that also included Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Pumpkin Who Couldn't Smile (the Halloween special). Now, about THIS cartoon: Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Great Santa Claus Caper is a Christmas Special I've loved since I was a kid! I'm a big fan of Holiday Specials, and the two Raggedy Ann and Andy Holiday specials, along with the feature film, Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure, made me a big fan of the Raggedy characters. In my opinion, any Raggedy fan MUST have a copy of this Holiday Special, even if the video tape is this below par version. This and the Halloween one were both done by animation legend, Chuck Jones. He's the guy who directed How the Grinch Stole Christmas, among other classic cartoons! In this story, which is obviously targeted at very young kids, and I believe may have been made back in the '60's, though I could be mistaken, tells the story of a big bad wolf who wants to take over Christmas! He sets up a factory at the North Pole that specializes in covering Santa's Toys in "Gloopstick", a substance that preserves them forever, though they're not very useful. His idea is that now Santa will have to start charging for the toys, and give HIM part of the profits, since Gloopstick is HIS invention. Comet the Reindeer flies Raggedy Ann and Andy in to help her stop the rotten wolf and save Christmas! As I said, this is targeted at younger viewers, and an older viewer would probably have to have loved it as a kid to appreciate it. But as for any negative comments about the animation quality, well, it's standard Chuck Jones (a legend), so I think that speaks for itself. As an added note, the two holiday specials are the only places you'll find one of my favorite cartoon characters, Raggedy Arthur, the dog!

Raggedy Ann & Andy Save Christmas... Yeah, right
Another typical somebody saves Christmas deal. This time Raggedy Ann and Andy have to save Santa's workshop from a no-good bad guy. Bare-basic animation and an unimaginative storyline make this a Christmas-as-usual holiday special... watch this only if there is nothing else left on the shelf that you haven't seen first.
