All these years later, as a reminder that every oddball fits in somewhere, it still shines. You could even say it glows.

A holiday must-watch (if your kids aren't scared silly by the Abominable Snowman, as I was).

A paean to nonconformity that would be startling today, it must have been downright shocking in pre-hippie 1964, when it debuted.

The beauty of this film is that it was made before the hype that's surrounded both the holiday season and kids entertainment since the late 1970s.
