ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME...

9. The Santa Clause

This movie is a Tim Allan movie, basically about how a buisness man apparently takes over for Santa Claus. My personal opinion of the movie is that it is actually pretty good and it always leaves a long lasting impression on my heart. I put it this low on the list for a reason, and you'll see that reason soon enough.

10. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Animated Version)

Now, this was one of my favorite Christmas specials as a kid. It's basically the story of how the Grinch steals Christmas from Who-Ville and learns the true meaning of Christmas. There's not really much to explain, as the Nostalgia Critic already pointed it out in his Top 12 Christmas Specials. I put the animated version this low on the list because it was a bit short... not that I mind it. You'll see more later.

Before I end this, I am sorry to inform that Roy E. Disney, nephew of the infamous Walt Disney, has died... This is REALLY the year of deaths of celebrities.

First, Don DeLuise, then Wayne Allwine, then Michael Jackson, then Ed McMahon, then Patrick Swayze, NOW Walt's nephew? Well, let's hope this is the last of the celebrity deaths... I hope I didn't curse myself...

11. Lilo and Stitch: The Series: Topper

Now, this episode of Lilo and Stitch happened to be a good episode for me. It's basically has Lilo teaching Stitch about the Christmas spirit, but things go wrong when everyone thinks Stitch was hoarding something for himself, when really, he was actually saving one of his cousins from Gantu and 625 (I call him 625 because Reuben didn't have a name back then) Nontheless, it was a good Christmas special for me, and it held a place in my heart. I put this one low on the list because Stitch is... well, Stitch. Enough said.

BTW, unrelated matter, I'm excited to see the Golden Globes! Mostly the Animated feature awards!

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Coraline
Fantastic Mr. Fox
The Princess and the Frog
Up

I think Up's going to win this one, but to be the underdog, and because I'm a fan of nostalgia and 2D films (even though I didn't see this one yet), I'm rooting for 'The Princess and the Frog'. Just because I feel like it.

Hey, everyone, it's getting near the holiday season, and it's nearly time for Christmas! Since it's the twelve days of Christmas, I decided to do a Top 12 favorite Christmas specials of all time! So, I'm going to start now!

ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME...

12. Rankin-Bass Specials

Okay, first off, I LOVE the Rankin-Bass stuff, who doesn't, they had the greatest television specials of all time. The ones that stood out to me most were 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer', 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and 'Frosty the Snowman'.

Rudolph showed us that even people that don't fit in the normal world, actually can be of very important use to you.

Frosty the Snowman was about how a snowman came to life by a magic hat. It also shows how he melts, the equivalent of death for a snowman, and how Christmas snow brings him back to life. It was also one of two of the 2-D animated classics (including Frosty Returns) that Rankin Bass made, the other specials were either clay projects.

And Santa Claus is Coming to Town is my favorite special. It shows us that generosity will come at a cost. Whether you keep up that generosity will decide where your life will go.

The Rankin-Bass Specials. If you haven't watched these timeless gems, you've been watching the wrong channels.

Here's the rankings for 's Cartoon Survivor 5!

This season was kind of meh for me. There were some players that were okay, but there were way too many things going on... the winner of this was meh for me too. Well, let's get down to it, shall we?

16. Erika (MEDABOTS) (10th Place) She was not my cup of tea, and she’s this low because I don’t know anything about Medabots… sorry…

15. Yakko (ANIMANIACS) (13th Place) He was the scary type of Crazy, we’ll get to the entertaining kind of crazy later. He had a rivalry with Ikki, and was a jerk when arguing. His other Rival; the Immunity Idol, I think that says enough.


14. Dee Dee (DEXTER’S LABORATORY) (14th Place) Penny should have been the third person booted off, not Dee Dee… but I understand why…

13. Casey (POKEMON) (12th Place/4th place) I gotta be honest, other than her being a show off and randomly watching Brock getting bashed, I don’t remember a thing about this character…

12. Wakko (ANIMANIACS) (9th Place) He was so hilarious!

11. Yolei (DIGIMON) (7th Place) Not really much to remember about her…

10. Koji (MEDABOTS) (15th Place) Voted out due to being being a jerk

9. Roll (MEGA MAN) (8th Place) She was just fun to watch, but she was a follower, and so she was taken out early

8. Ikki (MEDABOTS) (11th Place) He is this high for one moment. The rivalry between the Warners and him.


7. Rudy (CHALKZONE) (8th place/12th place) He was affected by the love bugs and fell in love with Dee Dee. That enough gave him the Number 7 spot. Oh, BTW, ever since JusSonic put that in, I have supported the Dee Dee x Rudy pairing… I hope to write a story on it someday!

6. Mega Man (MEGA MAN) (Winner) Usually, I don’t like a winner who comes from a show where his name appears in the title… but in this case, I’ll make an exception. Mega Man is a good robot from a good video game series.


5. Flint (FLINT THE TIME DETECTIVE) (6th Place) I liked Flint, he was very nice, and did amazing in a social game even when he acted dumb… also, maybe it’s because I don’t watch the show, but was Flint supposed to be dumb?

4. Trixie Tang (FAIRLY ODDPARENTS) (16th Place/Runner Up) She was the season’s Candace before Candace was in Cartoon Survivor 8, having no knowledge of how to play the game, getting voted out, then coming back in and owning everyone. The game from the Merge went whichever way Trixie went. Also it was hilarious watching Trixie owning everyone at the merge.

3. Dexter (DEXTER’S LABORATORY) (3rd Place) Dexter is the entertaining type of Crazy, even though he’s a boy genius. But he was still crazy. Not Crazy as in bouncing off the walls, but Crazy idiot. In addition the Rob and Matt alliance was by far one of my favorite alliances ever.


2. Lola (LOONEY TUNES) (5th Place) She was the definition of an outsmarting, cocky bunny. She was pretty cool.

1. Penny (CHALKZONE) (9th place/16th place) Boy, I didn’t like Penny then, but looking back, I guess I did in a way. She was cool, amazing and smart. I don’t know why she didn’t get invited back for the first All Star season. Penny Sanchez, really cool!

Well, there are those rankings! Next is Cartoon Survivor: Tournament of Champions, or All Stars!
