Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July (titled on-screen as Rudolph and Frosty: Christmas in July) is a 1979 American Christmas/Independence Day film produced by Rankin/Bass Productions, featuring characters from the company's holiday specials Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) and Frosty the Snowman (1969), among others. It was filmed in Japan using the company's trademark "Animagic" stop-motion animation style. The film was originally a theatrical film released on June 8, 1979, in Lexington, Kentucky, through Avco Embassy Pictures, where it ran for only one week; the film's expansion to other cities was quietly cancelled. Later that year, on November 25, the film premiered on television in the US on ABC. This is the last Rankin/Bass production to star Billie Mae Richards as Rudolph and Jackie Vernon as Frosty. Mickey Rooney reprises his role as Santa Claus from Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (1970) and The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974). Additional voices are provided by Red Buttons...
