So let’s spoil it by over-thinking the details . . .

The author certainly succeeds in his latter aim, not only by over-thinking but also by overwriting. I am now reminded to watch this splendid animation with my children and grandchildren since I have not done so in years.

Rankin/Bass stop-motion features are recognizable by their visual style of doll-like characters with spheroid body parts, and ubiquitous powdery snow using an animation technique called “Animagic.” Often, traditional cel animation scenes of falling snow would be projected over the action to create the effect of a snowfall.

More productions, in similar style/era, are mentioned here....
