The First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow (TV Movie 1975). 22m | Not Rated

“Angela Lansbury stars in this gem, one of the lesser-known TV specials Rankin/Bass made. The story is about a young shepherd boy who is blinded by lightning and taken in by some nuns, led by Lansburyu0026#39;s Sister Theresa. As the boy recuperates, Sister Theresa tells him about snow, which he had never experienced firsthand. Itu0026#39;s a lovely story with a touching ending that I wonu0026#39;t spoil here. The stop-motion animation is wonderful. The music is quite nice with some decent songs, including the timeless u0026quot;White Christmas,u0026quot; sung by Lansbury. I never get tired of Rankin/Bass specials. Theyu0026#39;re uplifting, heartwarming entertainment for all ages. This one isnu0026#39;t as famous as many others but itu0026#39;s a good one worth taking a look at if you enjoy Rankin/Bassu0026#39; other classics.”
