Beauty vs Beast: Beard vs Bumble

JA from MNPP here, ho ho hosting this week's ho ho holiday edition of "Beauty vs Beast" for y'all (okay okay I got all my ho ho's out, I promise) -- a couple of weeks ago TFE's resident animation guru Tim gave good love to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer on the occasion of its 50th anniversary and it struck me like a peppermint pick-axe to the brain, what this week's face-off needed to be. Who else but...

 

Yukon Cornelius, the standard of bearded beauty for an entire generation, grabs that frightful Beast by the belly and bounces away with our hearts every time, but we've got a special place for the Bumble's passionate bumbling too. So help us choose! You have one week to vote, and please do share your thoughts upon each in the comments.

PREVIOUSLY Spinning off from the frozen tundra of the North Pole to the magnolia swelter of the Deep South, last week we celebrated the 75th anniversary of Gone With the Wind by play-acting Scarlett and choosing our best beau - Ashley put up a decent fight for such a wilting flower but frankly, my dears, we want to be man-handled. Rhett swept 79% of us up in his arms and carried us into that fiery sunset. Said TB:

"Ashley is the biggest cad in the whole movie. He's got Olivia de Havilland at home, and he's stringing along Vivien Leigh the whole time. Nope. NOPE. Rhett's a slut, but at least he's got principles."

The bigger question is: Whose team did Rudolph choose?

nothing takes me back to childhood quicker than Rankin/Bass. i know this is where my deep abiding love for stop motion comes from ... so i thaank Laika for keeping it alive!

I would've gone with Yukon Corleone but Abominable is the better enforcer. If you don't know what I'm talking about... watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icjh6wGUUfE

"He's a licker" is bad?

December 22, 2014 | Unregistered Commenterforever1267

I knew somebody would say that forever1267, and yes, Yukon's specific licking is terrifying - weird little cat licks; that scene always grosses me out. There are good licks and there are bad licks and he is a BAD licker. ;)

Who would think that seeing someone licking their own tool could be so disconcerting? But it certainly is.

This battle is a toughie--two such lovable Christmas bears. Maybe a karaoke contest to decide? Who can outdiva the other on Let It Go.

Awww the Abonimable Snowman is so cute and cuddly once they take out his teeth.
