[QUOTE="Athanasius, post: 1289509, member: 16809"] [b]RE: The Anti-Clown World Thread: In Praise Of The Disappearing Old World[/b] Yes, and even though these shows focused on Santa and elves, they were unironic shows kids could safely watch that would still give some sort of nod to the "true meaning of Christmas." The fact that it remained this way even into an early 70s production like this was probably thanks to Charles Schulz, who despite his own personal failings insisted on (against network opposition) the famous Linus speech in the classic 1965 Peanuts special. The 2003 movie Elf nods to the old Rankin Bass productions in the North Pole scenes, but adds light sarcasm and completely lacks Christian sentiment. Still, even 15 years ago a G-rated film like Elf seemed out of place. [/QUOTE]
