I watched this movie for the first time last year and *nothing* prepared me for King Moonracer and the weird little elf going all dental horror on things. A *wild* viewing experience that everyone should have.
No clue about Moonracer, but did u know in the og cut of the movie they never resolve this island subplot? The movie ends before Rudolph so much as mentions it to Santa. The credits sequence with the misfit toys included was made AFTER kids and parents complained about it.
It's been re-released so many times I wouldn't be surprised if some of them removed the gunfire, but I don't know of any specific instances of censorship lmao.
HOWEVER the aforementioned retcon introduces a funny easter egg.
In the edited credits with the tips included the elf decides not to give an Umbrella/Parachute to the Bird since it can fly. But in the original song it's clearly stated the Bird is a misfit because it CANT fly.
The further along these shows went, the more paganism seemed to seep in- Heat Miser & Freez Guy, then that council of elementals in the last one. tghe drugs back then, they were mighty fine…
I thought (not deeply) it was the creators quick way to inject some version of Christianity/Jesus into the movie. A lion king is sort of a Christian motif.. if its not that then Ive no fkn clue

I do remember Yukon Cornelius shooting his gun more in the past?
