SayMyNameBitches For a longest time i always had this faint memory of some Christmas related cartoon, that i think i might have seen in sometime in my childhood. It must have only aired once (in my country at least).But of course the internet saved the day on this upcoming Christmas and i could finally take a look at that almost forgotten flick.And its just. bleh.Story: Someone forgot sent poor Timmy's letter to Santa, so its up to a Clever little mouse and his Dog companion bring the letter to Santa, before he goes to Timmy's chimney.And that's about it.There's is not much to go for in this Hanna-Barbera flick except their typical cheap looking animation and their typical cheap slapstick. There was this one song that was enjoyable and Dogs voice actor is the one who played Tigger. But still i would not want to sit through this again.

utgard14 It's Christmas Eve and little Timmy's letter to Santa was somehow forgotten. So his dog and a mouse desperately try to track Santa down and deliver the letter so Timmy will have a good Christmas. A cute Hanna-Barbera Christmas special that seems to be all but forgotten today. It's corny stuff but enjoyable for what it is. Good voice work from Daws Butler and Paul Winchell, among other fine voice actors like Don Messick. The animation is adequate (it was made for TV, after all). It's also from Hanna-Barbera so you know there's a lot of corny jokes and loud sound effects. Thankfully there is no laugh track but you don't have to use your imagination to see the spots where it seems room was left for it. There are a number of songs, some of which were reused for later Hanna-Barbera TV specials. This isn't likely to become a new favorite of yours but if you enjoy old animated Christmas specials, it's certainly worth giving a try.

richard.fuller1 Caught this peculiar oddity when the tivo was set for Loony Tunes. I actually thought it was older than '72, which was the same year for Roman Holidays and Amazing Chan.As the other review says, it was Gumdrop the mouse (Daws Butler, imagine Elroy Jetson here) and Goober the dog (Paul Winchell, Tigger from Winnie the Pooh) who suddenly felt the need to get Timmy's letter to Santa and chased him from house to house.Nothing overly new from the HB stock. The 'Hope' song is played in both the Flintstones' Christmas program (not the original Christmas episode from the early sixties show, which appears to be scheduled to air on WGN this year) and the Yogi Bear show, Yogi's First Christmas (not in Casper's Christmas).LIke most of these shows, its over before it starts getting on your nerves. Flintstones, however, is an hour program and Yogi runs ninety minutes.

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) Here is a Hanna/Barbera Christmas TV special my family and I love; we still do. But of course my parents refer to the title as "Timmy's Letter." The special is set in a town/era almost like in Disney's Lady and the Tramp, and it was Christmas Eve. In one house, a little boy named Timmy (voiced by Andy Panda's voice actor Walter Tetley) was read a Christmas story and tucked into bed. The resident mouse Gumdrop (voice by animation regular Daws Butler), while admiring the house all decorated for Christmas, noticed Timmy's letter to Santa on the floor. The letter must have fallen off the table and never got mailed. So he and the family dog Gobber (voiced by Paul Winchell) set outside to deliver the letter to Santa and save Christmas for Timmy.I was very fortunate (and so is my family) to find it on TV and taped it because they don't show anymore. So all I can say is I love this special from beginning to end. And I don't have any particular scene I like, because I love this cartoon. I also love the songs in the special; three of them were replayed in later Hanna/Barbera Christmas programs.
