It's nice to see how things have changed by not really changing at all where it matters outside of now I'm the target audience.

1. Alcoholic eggnog does exist. This special taught me that. 2. I had a crush on the grandma as a kid. Which would explain why I liked old Joseph Joestar later in life.

Hot take here: This special probably has one of the highest stakes among Christmas movies. Because if Santa goes to jail, Christmas is irrevocably changed forever. Either Christmas is completely canceled or the elves take Santa's place as the main gift giver to the world's children. If we go the Christmas is canceled route, people will have to create a new holiday to replace it. ...Seriously, the original version of "Grandpa's gonna sue the pants off of Santa" ends with Santa being found GUILTY for grandma's death! Which leads to Christmas being canceled since Santa is needed to deliver presents.

There needs to be a Christmas movie where "Santa Claus" is basically just a job title instead of a specific person. It's more believable if all those presents were delivered by "one man" if that "man" was really a large group of elite present deliverymen each delivering presents to a mere portion of families instead of a lone person doing it all himself. It would also explain how he could have different names (Saint Nicholas, Kris Kringle, etc.). It could also explain mall santas as well as how "one man" could have lived for apparently centuries.

I remember this movie so wrong 😭 I was so confused by the 'hospital' room recap, for some reason I thought Santa had done this to 2 other elderly human women as well 😆 I remember being sketched out as a kid and wondering if he was trying to get with granny 😅

This is a fun admission, but I had the producer of the actual song perform at my job with the band he’s in. I was one of the two main audio technicians who worked with them, the other was my buddy, who was showing me the ropes. They were great guys, fantastic to work with! They even played one of their songs I had told them I really enjoyed on their last performance with us. EDIT: If anyone was curious, the band is California Cowboys and the song that they played for me was “Timberline,” it was such a sweet gesture and I still have the stuff they gave me for working with them!

Also Doofus being the dog’s name is funny, but I always crack up at the way they overenunciate Spankenheimer.

Yeah this movie ragged on fake trees. But in this film the dad brought an INFLATABLE tree. I've seen plenty of fake trees but if I ever walked into someone's house and saw an inflatable Christmas tree, I would genuinely wonder what was wrong with them.

I HATE this movie with a passion. One year in 2003 Cartoon Networked played Bill Plympton's "12 Tiny Christmas Tales". That 22 minute animation got me into animation. I wanted to see it the next year (thinking it was going to be an annul thing like everything else) and I waited to 6:00 to 7:00pm, which was the time it aired the previous year. What I was met with was THIS movie. They didn't show 12 Tiny Christmas Tales that year. So I waited next year, the same, THIS movie. Again the next year, THIS movie. I don't believe they ever played 12 Tiny Christmas Tales again, but every Christmas from when I was a kid, it was ALWAYS THIS movie. I did eventually find 12 Tiny Christmas Tales but it was frustrating when I was a kid and KZread didn't exist yet or most movie sites especially for niche stuff like Bill Plympton's Animations.

wow just by reading the title, i was like “is this about grandma got run over by a reindeer?”

I was literally thinking about this movie last night when I couldn't sleep.

I was born in 1999, and even back when I used to watch the special, I thought Cousin Mel and I.M.Slime were really good friends, instead of just a attorney-client relationship (especially with their musical number). Mel has more chemistry with her than the proto-Elon guy. Now whenever I look back at this movie, I think the possibility of Slime being gay for Mel is pretty likely. Considering Grandpa and Proto Elon have a thing for her, I wouldn't be surprised.

I used to have the most VISCERAL reaction to the song. I don't know what it was about it, but I was always in tears because of it like I genuinely couldn't stand to be around anything that reminded me of or played it, so this special was just as traumatizing to me for the longest time. Now...yeah what the hell is this

OHH MY GOD I saw the thumbnail and knew IMMEDIATELY what it was. We had this on VHS when I was a kid, and "Grandpa's Gonna Sue the Pants off of Santa" gets stuck in my head like once a month, so seeing the images of the weird Carmen Miranda shit from that scene wrecked me

I honestly love this silly little movie. I feel like most Christmas or Holiday movies rely heavily on nostalgia and this one does that for me. I try to watch it every Christmas.

Having Liquid Snake brings this movie up a few notches.

this movie was deeply buried in my brain. like an old sweater in a box in the closet of a basement. i vividly remember there being a conga line for some reason. edit: ok, it was not necessarily a conga line, but vaguely tropical/salsa adjacent.

😅I was 19 in 2000, I remember this movie, i remember the song. I think the red head looks so much like Daphne from Scobby Doo that I’m convinced she’s living a double life. 😅Did they ever check her fingerprints? 😅

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid (along with Olive the Other Reindeer) right up until my grandma actually died right before christmas 2005. Now I can't watch it all the way through without tearing up a little

I feel like Santa's just happy he didn't get sued or arrested for man slaughter and messing with evidence at the crime sign like a serial killer.

So, Cousin Mel isn't blood-related to Grandpa because she is the daughter of Grandma's brother or sister? Or is Grandpa going all Targaryen om his granddaughter?

My grandma made me watch this every year and my grandpa would tell me that my grandma actually got ran over by Santa's sled and stupid child me believed him 😔

Congrats on making it through the algorithm and ending up in my recommended. ❄️

"Frosty the Snowthem" will live rent free in my mind for many years to come

Every frame of silence that passes makes the hole in my stomach widen just a bit.

ok but i like this movie BECAUSE it's not good I was too young to have an opinion at the time, but some of its nonsense is so ridiculous it wraps back to being entertaining

This was one of the few movies we had at my grandma's (it was VHS) and my brother and I watched this repeatedly & year-round because we had to wait till grandma finished her soap operas before watching cartoons. Mind you, we were there probably 5 days a week so we saw this very often but watching this vid was still "wait that really happened in the movie didn't it?"
