[edit] Enough references?
Usually, we require references in three toons for a page like this. Thoughts? Possibility of a third that I and the person who made the page both overlooked? --Jay (Gobble) 19:05, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- There's a reference in the commentary for modeling. cash money tc 19:08, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- I don't really see a reference to Rankin/Bass in the commentary of modeling.. all I really see is a reference to the song "Winter Wonderland", despite what the Fun Fact says. In this case, though, the two references might be interesting enough. Leaning toward keep.
