A good laugh
Didn't expect that at all. Rankin/Bass will have words with you. :D
Reviews for "The Hohawked Reindeer"
Beauty of Punk rock meets Christmas
I'm already having that nostolgic feeling like I will remember this flash as one of my favorites this holiday season. I can definitely relate to Rudolph the mohawk reindeer. The animation was smooth, along with rapid fire comedy, and a pinch of sickmindedness. "So he shoved the guitar up santa's ass.." Is that James Joyce? Beautiful flash
ThePrimatePunk responds:
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Yeah....
Fucking. Awesome.
Funny as hell! (Warning: copyright law lesson)
I can see why there would still be a legal issue. Seeing as how, thanks to Disney pushing the change through Congress in the early 1990s, the schmucks, U.S. Copyright Law has copyrights expiring 70 years after the creator's death. I forgot who exactly wrote the Rudolph song, but it was written for (or the rights were bought by) Sears Roebuck & Co. in 1902, so that's probably the rightsholder, and they may still be getting royalties. Copyrights used to expire something like 25 years after the creator's death, and since Walt Disney himself died in 1968, every character he originally created were going to enter the public domain in 1993, and even though I disagree with how they did things, they probably thought that the company's valuation would plummet seeing as how the value of their original intellectual property was about to fall off a cliff straight to $0.

Well, now I know :D
I know jack about copyright laws, I just made my case how I thought it was in fair use and how a lot of copyrighted material are parodied and earn revenue from it, I didn't persue it any more than that though cause it was just one silly little cartoon I worked on for less than a month. So I'm not really that bothered by it really. Thanks for the post though.
Merry Christma- I mean, uh, Holidays!
That was a family-friendly and politically correct Christmas song that anyone can enjoy and will be remembered for years to come!
