Rudolph's Shiny New Lagoon
I love Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. This Christmas classic has it all: cute talking deer, a skinny Santa, dentistry, and even a big scary snowman (no, not the one who sings Silver and Gold but the one who scares the shit out of everyone but then saves the day in the end). Now, just because I love Rudolph, this does not mean I have embraced Rudolph's Shiny New Year, a film that was obviously made with the intention to upset people by using a baby whose ears are larger than a fork lift. However, as I was flipping through the channels I couldn't help but stop and watch a few minutes of the movie. While watching I noticed a strong resemblance between the New Year Baby and the one and only Christopher Atkins, the curly haired fool from the 1980 "hit" The Blue Lagoon. Here, take a closer look.

The "I'm supposed to be cute but am really quite scary" New Year Baby
How crazy is that? I mean look at the limitless similarities! They have the same play-doh hair, the same pissed off look on their faces, the same stance, and even the same color choice in diapers. I don't think this was a coincidence. If anything, Christopher Atkins saw Rudolph's Shiny New Year when it was released 4 years prior to his own film and demanded that he be modeled after the New Year Baby. It's the only reasonable explanation.
Oh, and the weather channel says that light snow is falling. Yes, okay. Sure it is. And look, there goes Christopher Atkins and the Shiny New Year Baby skipping down the street holding hands. Pssh.
