Viewing Notes
Needed some levity in this spot after Heater. Kinda blown away this was released in 1975. That entire stop motion race sequence is dynamite. The race cars reminded me of the cars we had on my electric race track when I was a kid. The smattering of ethnic stereotypes was odd to see. But yeah 1975

The animation in this was amazing but yeah on the stereotypes. I could see how this could become a routine Christmas season watch if you grew up with it.
