Factual error: During the opening credits, the show's copyright date is shown in Roman numerals as MCLXIV. In Arabic numbers, that's 1164 - it should have been MCMLXIV for 1964.

Directed by: Larry Roemer
Starring: Burl Ives, Paul Soles, Larry D. Mann, Billie Mae Richards
Genres: Adventure, Animated, Christmas, Family, Fantasy, Musical
Other mistake: At the end of the show when the misfit toys are being delivered, the elf in Santa's sleigh gives an umbrella to each of the misfits so they can glide down with the exception of the bird, who jumps off, apparently forgetting that he is a misfit toy and can't fly; as he stated earlier in the show, he can only swim.
King Moonracer: Come closer. What do you desire?
Rudolph: Well, we're a couple of misfits from Christmastown, and now we'd like to live here.
King Moonracer: No, that would not be possible. This island is for toys alone.
Yukon Cornelius: How do you like that? Even among misfits you're a misfit.
Trivia: Rudolph and others visit the island of misfit toys and promise to help them. In the original version, the Misfits don't get mentioned again, and the producers were swamped with letters from children, upset that the Misfits didn't get the help they were promised. A new scene was produced and included in future versions, where Santa and Rudolph give the toys new homes.
Question: Yukon has a gun - why he didn't just shoot the snow creature at the cave?
Answer: Plot wise, if the snow creature had been killed, it would have ruined the happy ending. Yukon has a kind nature, and he probably wouldn't kill anything.
I'm not sure about that. He lured the snow monster to the water and watched it sink without knowing for sure it would resurface, then later to the edge of a cliff where he, along with his dog team, pushed the creature off. Yes, he said, "bumbles bounce," but it was still a violent act.
Answer: It's a kid's show, not Game of Thrones.
