The Little Drummer Boy (1968)
So many Rankin & Bass movies just make you feel warm and fuzzy at Christmastime. The stop-action animation really appeals to childhood, like a combination of a cartoon and a toy come to life. Adults watching know the careful work that went into the films, and kids will remember the stories the rest of their lives.
So, while we all know the song “Little Drummer Boy”, a lot of us associate it with the Rankin & Bass animated movie about the little kid who takes an incredible journey as he joins the three wise men who follow the star. Paul Frees, of course, lends his vocal talents to it, as does June Foray and Ted Eccles, in the leading role. If you listen closely, you’ll hear José Ferrer and Greer Garson, too! And yes, you’ll get to hear the song as well. It wouldn’t be fair not to include the song.
