R. I. P. Daws Butler, June Foray, Les Tremayne & Chuck Jones who worked on this & many other cartoons, specials, TV shows & feature films. Good HQ print of this classic cartoon!
Wow, Chuck Jones really had a knack for drawing such cute characters! The eyelashes on Andy are so adorable! This animation was way "too good" for TV! We had no idea how good we had it. Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I was glad to have this on VHS and enjoyed it along with Riki Tiki Tavi and his other animated specials! Nothing that's come out later can even compare and if you ask me computer animation lacks the soul that these hand-drawn specials had!
@@lorelaimorace-kk1xzOmg they are so adorable, right? I just love this character design and I wish they had made some actual dolls based off of these versions!
I think Alexander Graham Wolf is one of my new favorite fictional wolves. Les Treymayne did a wondrous job portraying this look alike of Ralph Wolf/Wile E. Coyote.
Voice June Foray - Raggedy Ann, Comet, Woman, Children Daws Butler - Raggedy Andy Les Tremayne - Alexander Graham Wolf, Santa Claus, Harry the Cat, Chester C. Cricket Mel Blanc - Tucker R. Mouse, Alley Cat, Traffic Cop
15:28 Raggedy Ann is pissed off, but tries to use mild enough words to express her anger and opinion on the behavior and act of Alexander Graham Wolf for using the machine on her brother Andy and Arthur as well. But her facial expressions say she would do far more than speech of anger
"Who wants to cuddle a crazy doll, anyway?" Says the sentient ragdoll. Also, why would a living doll want an inanimate doll as a toy? That seems kinda messed up to me. It's like if a human wanted a corpse to play with...
This was on every year when I was a kid, I haven’t seen it since then. I only remembered the toys in gloopstik (which is how I found it). This is much weirder than I remember...
Yup, without question that is indeed Daws Butler voicing Raggedy Andy. I was watching the Woody Woodpecker Show at the time this special premiered, and Daws Butler had voiced several other characters whom Walter Lantz (creator of Woody Woodpecker) had created.
Alexander Graham Wolf was ahead of his time with the idea of preserving toys. There is something profoundly sad about the idea of hording toys and not playing with them.
I do that it's mainly because I don't want them to get dirty but even as a child I was very careful to keep my toys clean they last longer and I feel happy to see them like they were the day I got them so even though I don't play with them they are still my beloved toys
Priceless the way Santa suddenly sees she’s missing @ 22:14, just as she suddenly shows up and flies into place. I like how “Joy to the World” is heard at this moment, as if emphasizing the “reformed” wolf. I was nine and in fourth grade when this premiered and I thought it was HILARIOUS when the wolf got turned into a Christmas 🎄 tree, ha ha. But of course it was great that he had managed to reform in the end. :)
Another profound moment of wisdom from a Chuck Jones special and I never realized the ramifications of this simple reflection from Alexander Graham Wolf @ 22:36 --> "And you know what, I think to like goodness better than badness. But you know, I don't think anyone can say that, for sure, unless he's tried both" When you look back at your journey, its only when we stumble into sin and seek atonement that we learn to appreciate and truly choose to be a righteous person. Always wonder did Charles M. Jones actually write that short monologue for Mr. Wolf or did the fine Les Tremayne ad lib that line on his own?
No wonder why this felt so Looney Toons to me, it's by Chuck Jones which kinda gave the movie an uncanny feeling to me and I haven't seen this movie in YEARS. Some of the sparse memories and the corny animation scenes I remembered kinda felt like a crackhead's fever dream.
At 22:05, Santa: "Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now Prancer and Vixen! On Comet!.... Comet? Comet? (Comet flies in) Oh, there you are. On Comet! On Cupid! On Donder and Blitzen! Always liked that part.
16:14, My God! That never gets old! I'm sorry. I'm so sorry! Way that wolf look in that Gloopstik Christmas Tree getup, it's hilarious! Even funnier than the cat on top of a Jack-O_Lantern on the Halloween Special!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I saw Ann gets Upset on Andy getting dropped in the gloopstik machine and hearing about Wolf’s Evil Plan, i just go like… (Don’t Worry Ann! *Arm Cocked like Shotgun* I’ll Uppercut this Joker right in the Kisser into that Machine!) I hate seeing Annie getting Upset😢

Because Mel was a comedy actor. Les Tremayne was adept at drama as well as comedy. He was also a real Englishman (son of the great English actress Dolly Tremayne), so his accent was natural.
As a child of the '70s and '80s, I watched a lot of cartoons like this. I still love watching all kinds of animation. Back then, the constant "background" music, I suppose, must have really added to the excitement. As an adult, the score is just really stress-inducing and irritating . There's no breathing room in it, and I guess, since I've outgrown needing to be told how to feel about what's happening on the screen, it feels especially manipulative. I can't watch this all the way through.
In 1991 seven B52 Bombers fly from Louisiana to Iraq and launch dozens of cruise missiles towards an Iraqi nuclear power plant before flying back to Louisiana again without ever landing in foreign soil, a testament to American global reach
The fact that the both of them are rag dolls, and that they literally live in a house where the only place we can see them inside of is there room 💀 but actually are their parents also rag dolls or do they have an owner? That’s also a kid or like??? because in this version they’re kind of like kids in away except they can’t go outside
yup in winter male reindeer lose their antlers while female reindeer keep them for digging out food from the snow so actually all of Santa's reindeer are female!
🤨That wolf is terrible and my sister D JOHNSON thinks he's god damn insane! and that's why everyone calls is a win sinnaree for the right forces of good have a litte faithfully and in the flesh!
