comment |
Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July is a Rankin/Bass Productions feature-length Christmas Special, which premiered on ABC on November 25, 1979note It had received a limited theatrical release beginning on July 1 of that year. It is notable for having several Christmas and winter icons — Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman, and Santa Claus — in the same special, along with characters from past specials making appearances.Long before Santa Claus came to power, the North Pole was ruled by a Sorcerous Overlord called Winterbolt. He was defeated when the Northern Lights took human form and cast him into a deep sleep. But as Lady Boreal says, "Nothing is forever". Upon awaking, Winterbolt determines to upend Santa by creating the worst snowstorm ever — the snowstorm, in fact, only to be foiled once again by Lady Boreal, who created Rudolph's shiny red nose to counter Winterbolt's magic.In the summer of July, the appearance of a hot balloon ice cream salesman and the troubles of a circus by the seashore give Winterbolt the means to destroy Santa — by trapping Rudolph and Frosty's family in a no-win situation far from Santa's territory, where only Winterbolt's magic can keep the Frosty family from melting in the July sun!This special marked the final appearance of these versions of the lead characters under the original Rankin-Bass Productions, but later (non-stop motion) specials with the same character designs would follow decades later, like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys, The Legend of Frosty the Snowman, and A Miser Brothers Christmas. This special also marked the final time Billie Mae Richards (Rudolph) and Jackie Vernon (Frosty) voiced both characters. A modified and softened version of Jack Frost starred in his own eponymous Rankin-Bass special a few months later. |

comment |
The Cameo: Clarice from the original 1964 special makes two non-speaking cameo appearances in the film. During the "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer" number, she is spotted befriending Rudolph and is later seen as a signed autograph inside Rudolph's dressing room during the "No Bed of Roses" musical number. Also, a picture of Father Time from Rudolph's Shiny New Year can be seen in Rudolph's dressing room. In another flashback, the Snow-Parson from Frosty's Winter Wonderland can also be seen marrying Frosty and Crystal. |

When the Clock Strikes Twelve: Or in this case, when the last firework goes off. The magic spell Winterbolt cast to allow the Frosty family to stay solid in the July sun wears off when the last of the Fourth Of July fireworks explodes. When it looks like Santa won't make it in time, Frosty tries a Loophole Abuse by preventing the fireworks from starting, but he's too late. |

Properly Paranoid: Frosty does not want to take his family to the sea in July! He's not being mean, he just knows that they'll melt in the summer sun. He also spends most the special worried that Santa — who promised to take the family home before the magical amulets Winterbolt gave them run out- will not make it in time. |

Triumphant Reprise: Rudolph and Frosty sing "We're a Couple of Misfits" after the former is exonerated. Keep in mind this was at a time when the song had been replaced in the original Rudolph by "Fame & Fortune", only to be put back in at a later date, so it's more of a case of Refitted for Sequel. |

Throwing Your Gun at the Enemy |

comment |
Throwing Your Gun at the Enemy: Lilly throws her guns at Winterbolt without firing them, as they only shoot blanks. The guns shatter his scepter (due to the scepter being made of ice, while the guns are made of iron, which is one of the few weaknesses all Western magical beings share), destroying the source of his powers, in a rare instance of this tactic not only working, but being the key to victory. |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Lilly uses her guns to destroy Winterbolt's scepter at the end of the film, but it only ends up causing Frosty and his family to melt again. Though in her defense, it was either destroy the staff or they all get killed by Winterbolt, and besides that, none of them knew about the side effect it would have until it was too late. |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Had Winterbolt not used his Snow Dragons to create that foggy storm on Christmas Eve, Rudolph would have never been chosen to guide Santa's sleigh and gained the respect of his peers. After Winterbolt succeeds at dousing Rudolph's nose and breaking his spirit, he cons Frosty out of his magic hat. In doing so, he gives Rudolph the impetus to stand up and fight against the villain redeeming himself and reigniting his nose. |

Chekhov's Gunman: Lilly, whom, at first glance, seems like a major character who only serves as the owner and ringmaster of the circus... ...until she lights the fuse for the fireworks... in which after all one hundred go off, the magic in the amulets Winterbolt gave to Frosty and his family will dissipate, causing them to melt. However, Winterbolt is able to strike a bargain in which so long as Rudolph's nose remains doused, and that Rudolph agree to the condition of his continued confirmation that Rudolph intentionally aided in the theft of the show's earnings. He agrees, so Frosty and his family doesn't melt after the last firework explodes. But believe it or not, that still doesn't save them from melting once Rudolph gets his glowing nose back after getting Frosty's hat, and once they save the circus, their final confrontation with Winterbolt leads up to Lilly throwing her guns at Winterbolt's scepter, which causes the magic in the amulets to dissipate, which in turn allows Frosty and his family to (albeit, temporarily) melt in the summer heat. |

Despair Event Horizon: Frosty crosses this just after Rudolph returns from getting tricked by Scratcher, believing Santa won't come to pick them up before the amulets lose their power. |

Jerkass: Scratcher is implied to have been this even before Santa fired him, which has only made him more bitter. |

Evil Is Hammy: Paul Frees' performance as Winterbolt is so hammy, you'll forget you're supposed to be scared of this guy. |
