 Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 1:03 pm Post subject: Holidays in the 80's! (Ongoing list) |
 |
|
I'm thinking about finding and watching 80s cartoon episodes and specials (and non-animated children's specials as well!) from the holidays.
I found a few already, but I'm specifically looking for ones from Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. I'll take the old classics that were re-aired regularly through the 80's as well, like the Grinch, Frosty, Rudolph, and the Charlie Brown specials, just add the year for reference.
Some cartoons had individual episodes, like the Smurfs' "Littlest Witch" or the Pac-man ones. I'm at work, so I don't have the same list with me as I have at home. I'll post with it when I get a chance.
Halloween Specials:
Which Witch is Which?
Garfield's Halloween Adventure
Mr. Boogedy
The Worst Witch
Disney's Halloween Treat
Frankenweenie
The Great Bear Scare
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)
Bugs Bunny's Howl-o-ween Special (1978)
Halloween Cartoon Episodes:
Smurfs: "The Littlest Witch"
Pac-Man: "Pacula", "Trick or Chomp"
Pound Puppies: ???
Thanksgiving:
Christmas:
New Years:
This will get updated over time as you guys submit information!

| Oooh, awesome! Thanks for the links! I haven't made it very far in my list because it's been work, sleep, and be ill for the last couple of days. Ugh. I'll update it tonight, hopefully.

Since the lists didn't mention them, there are The Real Ghostbusters' Halloween specials:
When Halloween Was Forever (1986): When the ancient fiend Samhain is released from his stone prison by the ghosts and goblins of New York, the Ghostbusters must stop him from freezing time so Halloween will never end. This is one of my favorite episodes of any show, ever.
Halloween II 1/2 (1987): Samhain and his minions attack and capture the firehouse, kicking out the Ghostbusters and taking the Junior Ghostbusters hostage. Very impressive animation.
The Halloween Door (1989): Musical episode. A crotchety old man accidentally releases a host of eldritch horrors trying to prevent the children of his neighborhood from celebrating Halloween. Boogaloo's villain song is catchy._________________

There's an animated TV special from 1987 called The Adventures of Candy Claus. It's about a doll that comes to life and is raised by Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus as their daughter.
Here's the IMDb page on it:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0446665/
The cartoon even seems to be on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_EXcO-qk00
I remember that "Alvin and the Chipmunks" had a Christmas special, but it already seems to be mentioned in the Wikipedia page that's been posted.

In fact, you probably may like to look through that whole wiki for Christmas specials in any case- http://christmas-specials.wikia.com/wiki/
I would think Halloween, Thanksgiving, New Year's Day, and other specific religious holidays- Hannukah, Kwanzaa, etc.- would be a much smaller list...
In fact, about the only New Year's Day specials I can think are:
Happy New Year, Charlie Brown!
and
Rudolph's Shiny New Year
