(rankin bass did their rudolf show in 1964 - and its the most favored xmas show of all time) so why make a remake and show it more than the favored one? for the same reason that you wont see the old willy wonka any more but the new one. or didnt you notice tha the old doctor doolittle is not seen on cable - even though its more loved and cheaper since its old. or that when the christian narnia chronicals were a hit, that someone did the toned dowm first story of the golden compass series which is the ANTI-THESIS of narnia in that parents who see the movie will let their kids read the series. anyone care to list other cultural oddities?) nope because he is a G(ood)WM, not a D(ead)WM
