Romeo Muller and the folks at Rankin/Bass have done it again! This story is about how Happy the new Baby New Year runs away because everyone picks on him because of his big ears. So, it's up to everyones favorite reindeer with the Red Nose to find him in time before the Ball Drops, or the old year will go on forever. You will LOVE this heart warming tale, which is vintage Romeo Muller. I grew up on it as a kid and I still love it to this very day and you will too. Buy it at all costs!

I'm so happy ABCFAMILY Channel is showing all of the Rankin/Bass gems every December for a new generation to discover. After years of seeing the original Rudolph Christmas Special, and only the original, it was great to see other shows by Rankin/Bass, including this one I missed. I was a bit cautious at first ,after having seen the title, thinking it would be a very un-Christmas like show. But in the tradition of A YEAR WITHOUT SANTA CLAUS, SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN, THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY, and JACK FROST, this special retains a place among the christmas classics. Red Skelton is a great narrator in the same league as Burl Ives , Mickey Rooney, and Fred Astaire. The scene with the Three Bears is great. The story will keep both children and adults interested as Rudolph tries to save time by finding the BABY NEW YEAR. It was great for me to find this gem and I hope you will too!

Rudolph's Shiny New Year is another in a long line of Rankin & Bass holiday masterpieces. O.M., Eon, Happy and the gang are wonderfully characterized. I've loved this cartoon since childhood and have finally bought my own copy. I hope I don't wear the tape out before I have children of my own to share it with.

this is the best christmas show let alone possibly the best animation ever. happy is just so darn cool with them big stupid looking ears poping out when he takes that hat off his head. what really makes the show great though is them stinking buck teeth and dumb sounds he makes. it doesnt get much better than that. does anyone have any idea where i can buy a poster of my baby big ears ?

I saw this on TV. It is kind of lame but I still like it. Most holidays have specials, whether it be a movie or a TV special, but the only other New Year Special I know of is "Happy New Year, Charlie Brown".Therefore, this is unusual. It is supposed to be a Christmas special but I consider The New Year and Christmas seperate holidays. It has more to do with the New Year than Christmas. The only Christmas parts are Rudolph, his song, and Santa Claus at the beginning and end. Ironically, there is a 4th of July song,when they go to the Island of 1776.

Full of corny songs, like Turn Back the Years, It's Raining Sunshine, Make Believe, The Fourth of July Parade, and Happy New Year, and narrated by Red Skelton, this special will make you smile, or make you puke.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES BY RANKIN & BASS . THIS IS THE INTRODUCTION OF "HAPPY" AKA BABY NEW YEAR. I REALLY DID LIKE THIS MOVIE!!!!!

I highly reccommend this video because it is good clean family entertainment. It is not a big block buster but you can watch it and not have to worry about dirty words.
It is separate from the Rudolph movie. It is not a sequal. It is great for the New Year.
I would reccommend this movie for kids from 1-120 years old for a good family movie.
I hope that you enjoy it as much as my son Max and I have.

This is one of the greatest Holiday movies ever made. This ranks up there with all the Classics from years ago. I love those ears and who can not laugh when they see that bird!!!!! What about the three bears. I am sorry but I LOVE THIS MOVIE. Everytime I see this movie I smile from ear to ear and I know it is Christmas and New years time!!

Product was shipped and received super fast and was just as promised!

Boy, let me tell you, if you are trippin on some good acid, this movie will make perfect sense. I was a little confused until Ben Franklin made his amazing cameo and tied the whole movie together. With not-so-subtle references to child slavery and sexual abuse appearing all to often, it keeps the watcher guessing. In closing, the only thing I enjoy more than watching this movie, is watching this movie on shrooms. Thanks to this movie, I now know the true meaning of newyears.
