Errores
When Alexander is trapped in the Christmas tree-shaped Gloopstik and bawling over his fate, there is a slight intercut between his lines "I'm gonna be a Christmas tree all my life!" and "I'm...I'm a big bad wolf by trade, I- I don't KNOW anything else!".

Classic 1970s Christmas Special

This Xmas TV special from 1978 starring Raggedy Ann, Andy, their dog Raggedy Arthur, Comet the Reindeer, and Alexander Graham Wolf (the Big Bad Wolf who looks a lot like Wile E. Coyote). Chuck Jones is a legend of this genre for good reason, and the special is well animated, and generally well done. The plot is pretty funny, as the Big Bad Wolf has basically taken Santa Claus hostage and set up shop as a businessman / corporate executive concerned with efficiency, and in his estimation Santa's is the least efficient operation around. So he will start new policies, including charging children for Christmas presents, and spreading Gloopstick (a plasticizing substance) over all the gifts so they'll never break (but also never be able to be played with). Some environmental criticism of materialistic culture for sure, but overall, a family and child friendly film about the magic of Christmas being love. The scene towards the end wherein the climax is reached and the conflict is resolved has a unique song that breaks the fourth wall with Raggedy Ann doing a bit of call and response song with the viewer.
