During our family's Christmas 2020 Film Festival (made possible by social distance due to COVID), we watched some of the animated Christmas specials from my childhood: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Little Drummer Boy, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and Charlie Brown Christmas.
Thanks to the internet, we interspersed our watching with looking up trivia on the people behind the voices (links at the bottom of his blog).
One man had quite the prolific career: Paul Frees. If Wikipedia is correct, he also had five wives and died by suicide.
Still, the amount of projects to which he contributed is astounding, to say the least.
