Hearing Nothing at the moment
Here's a heartwarming story about how the puppets used for Santa and Rudolph in the perennial TV classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer were recently refurbished after years of neglect and disuse. The more sensitive of you might wish to turn away from this following excerpt:
Kriess, 44, said he bought his two treasures from a person whose family had received them years ago from a relative who worked for Rankin/Bass. For many years, the delicate wood, wire and fabric puppets had been treated casually: first as toys and later as holiday decorations.
"They had Rudolph in a candy dish with candy all around him, just on a coffee table, and people would just reach in around Rudolph's body and pull out a candy cane or something," Kriess said. In the family's holiday photos, you could spot Santa slumped under a tree in a corner, he said.
The horror. The horror. Fortunately, the horror is over now, and the puppets have been refurbished to their former, stop-animated glory. For which I think we can all be grateful.

The Heat Miser puppet ended up at Neverland, where terrible, terrible things happened to it.
