Aha! I always suspected they were just puppets. Something about the way they moved. And also that real reindeer don’t live on the North Pole.

On the other hand, my Bill and Hillary Clinton puppets went for 35 cents. Quite the disappointment.

Interesting. I remember those figures in seasonal reruns, but not the name. Nor did I ever think that they were puppets.

But I was also quite young...

One day you are the most celebrated puppet in all of Hollywood, then before you know it, you are melting away on the Island of Misfit Toys.

I would recommend the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta. Been there several times. A huge permanent exhibit is Jim Hensons’s creations.

The museum and its special exhibits are always well done.

I’ve watched Rudolph, since I was 5. I added claymotion keyword, since I remembered that about Rudolph. Then, I websearched it. Turns out, it is claymation.
