'The Little Drummer Boy'
Another Rankin-Bass gem, this 1968 Christmas special, inspired by the popular Christmas Carol, tells the story of a misanthropic young shepherd whose life is changed when he learns to play the drum and meets the Three Wise Men on their way to Bethlehem. Accompanied by his faithful animal companions, he plays his drum for the Baby Jesus since he has "no gift to bring" … "that's fit to give our king." Sorry, the title tune here is not a duet by Bing Crosby and David Bowie.
