Product notes

Burl Ives, the voice histrion of Sam the Snowman.

The original pre-production piece of work for the special did not include the grapheme of Sam the Snowman, with his songs originally existence intended for Yukon Cornelius. Larry D. Isle of mann had even recorded all of the songs as Yukon Cornelius prior to filming. However, Ives was brought on at the last minute to give the special the "full power" that would help sell it to the networks, and then the character of Sam the narrating snowman was added. Although Sam resembles Ives, he was really designed to await like the writer of the special, Romeo Muller. Due to the last-minute addition of Sam the Snowman, several scripted scenes were abandoned and never filmed. One such scene included Rudolph being delivered to Donner and his wife by a stork.
The original network airings of the special were sponsored by General Electric; iii special GE commercials featuring the elves from the special were produced and aired alongside the show.
On the title card, the copyright year in Roman numerals was mistakenly marked as MCLXIV (1164) instead of the right MCMLXIV.
In that location are only vi reindeer in addition to Rudolph, instead of the usual eight. It has been confirmed that in that location are only half dozen reindeer because of the time that the creators had to make them, and because they were rather expensive to build.
When Mrs. Claus goes out the door after Santa, the sound of the door slamming occurs before the door is shut. This was corrected in the Freeform broadcast.

Edits

The original 1964 ambulation did not include the closing scene where Santa picks up the misfit toys. That scene was added in 1965, in response to complaints that Santa was non shown fulfilling his promise to include them in his annual commitment. Nonetheless, due to time constraints, some existing cloth had to exist trimmed to brand room for this new scene in subsequent broadcasts.

When the special was rebroadcast in 1965, the vocal "We're a Couple of Misfits" was replaced with a newly-produced musical sequence entitled "Fame and Fortune". The original scene was rediscovered in 1993 and restored in 1998, bringing "We're a Couple of Misfits" dorsum to its original spot. "Fame and Fortune" was included as a bonus feature on Sony Wonder's DVD releases of the special from 2000 to 2004, but oddly has not appeared on any subsequent video releases. Starting in 2005, CBS's almanac presentation of the special instead used animation for "Fame and Fortune" synced with a poorly-edited version of "We're a Couple of Misfits". Still, the total "We're a Couple of Misfits" song and sequence do appear on Freeform'south broadcasts.
CBS' rebroadcasts, as well as the Family Abode Entertainment VHS releases, cut out the instrumental bridge from "Nosotros are Santa'south Elves". It is, all the same, kept intact on Freeform'due south broadcasts.
Throughout the special, Yukon Cornelius is seen throwing his pick axe into the ground, taking it out and licking information technology. It turns out that he is not checking for gilt nor silver, but rather searching for an elusive peppermint mine. In a scene right at the finish of the special's original broadcast, deleted the adjacent twelvemonth to make room for the Misfit Toys' new scene, Cornelius pulled his pick from the basis, licked information technology and said, "Peppermint! What I've been searching for all my life! I've struck it rich! I've got me a peppermint mine! Wahoo!" This scene was restored in 1998 and has been reinstated in all the subsequent home video releases (with the strange exception of the 2004 DVD release). It is yet cut from CBS' annual airings, but does appear in the Freeform broadcasts.
The original 1964 broadcast had a completely different sequence for the terminate credits, in which the elf who accompanies Santa on the sleigh ride is shown dropping off gift boxes which list all the technical credits. The following yr, when the Misfit Toys' new scene was added in, the credits sequence was likewise redone and so that the elf is shown dropping off some of the Misfit Toys. (Oddly, the sound from the original credits sequence was restored in 1998, only kept the Misfit toy catastrophe from the 1965 re-edited version.)
At some point in the 1970s, the sequence featuring the song "We Are Santa's Elves" was removed entirely, along with Donner telling his married woman non to aid him search for Rudolph.^[ane]
On the VHS releases, the final scene had a few edits:
- The cutting to Sam after the sleigh leaves the Island of Misfit Toys was replaced by a dissolve, and the music fades out slightly afterward.
- The whooshing sounds were muted out.
- The squeaking Rudolph'south nose makes when glowing was shortened and altered slightly.
- Santa'due south second "Merry Christmas!" was rerecorded.
While Freeform'southward broadcasts are mostly uncut, they changed the placements of the commercial breaks and removed some of the original commercial fade-outs, specially the shot of Rudolph post-obit the Northern Lights back to Christmastown every bit the Abominable Snowmonster'south roar is heard.
- Also, due to Freeform running the credits in a split-screen with their promos, Sam's line segueing into the closing song was cut entirely.
