Rankin Bass Christmas special
5 December 2020
In the Forest of Burzee, The Great Ak gathers the council of Immortals to consider granting immortality to Santa Claus. It's his last night unless he becomes immortal and continues his yearly ride. The Great Ak recounts his life. He is found as a baby and raised by a Wood Nymph named Necile. After seeing the suffering of people and the violence of the world, he sets off to give joy to the world.

It's Rankin/Bass animated special. It's a lot of myth making and a little complicated. Quite frankly, I would like a simple story and probably a story not told in a flashback. On the other hand, it has the appeal of good over evil. I'm sure that people who saw this as children would have some nostalgia. I'm not one of those. This is fine.
