Christmas Specials are Screwed Up

So yeah, I'm watching "Rudolph's Shiny New Year".

The plot is that Santa sends Rudolph to find the Happy, the New Year Baby. It goes downhill when Rudolph has to get help from a camel to cross a desert--which they do, on foot.

And then he goes to an island where the old years retire to, and there are singing dinosaurs. And the vulture is a bad guy.

And the sad thing is, it all made sense to me as a kid.
