If anyone brings up the "Hermey" vs. "Herbie" name thing again for the misfit, here is a more or less definitive answer from Rankin/Bass. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 00:18, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Another Trivia and Goof

Another goof that was not talked about already was that when Santa was leaving Christmas Town, their are only 7 reindeer, not the 9 that there would have been. 205.200.41.19 21:12, 9 December 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.200.41.19 (talk) 21:01, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Another Parody

The Manitoba Telecommunication Service's (MTS) 2006 Christmas commercials feature an elf, an abombdible snowman and a bison (Manitoba's provincial animal) in the "Valley of Unwanted Gifts." They even go as far as doing the ads in stop-motion animation. You get the idea. 205.200.41.19 21:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Misfit Doll

I thought the doll's problem was that she said "How do you do?" instead of "mama". Morgan695 23:30, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sexism

I watched this film with my wife the other day and we were both taken aback by the dated views put forward in the movie, especially where a male character tells a female character that she can't help with something because "this is a man's job." Would it be appropriate to make mention of this in the article? Andrewdoane 19:24, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dubious Statements

About the following... (The part in question is bold, what follows is something I added and is italicized):

"Her presence on the island is never explained. however, an early script for the show had her singing the verse, "Who would want to play with this toy, "cause underneath this dress I'm a boy" [1]. A more commonly accepted reason is that the problem is somewhat psychological."

When I went to the website cited, I couldn't find anything to confirm the bolded part. Any resolution? WAVY 10 17:38, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, it was removed as vandalism. WAVY 10 19:23, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm having a hard time with some of the voice castings noted in this article. They don't make a lot of sense. Unless anyone has citations, I'd have to presume that there's vandalism involved. Claude 19:26, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Also removed as vandalism. Thanks! Claude (talk) 16:15, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
