Bent Image Lab in Portland, Oregon has animated a stop-motion music video for TV host Regis Philbin’s new rendition of the classic holiday song ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.’ The video will have its world premiere on Thursday, Nov. 16, on the morning gabfest Live with Regis and Kelly. Rippa is also featured in animated form, as are series producer Michael Gelman and The Apprentice host Donald Trump.
Created for a track from the new Hollywood Records release The Regis Philbin Christmas Album, the video transports Regis to the North Pole, which is animated to resemble the 1964 Rankin/Bass holiday special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Directed by Rob Shaw, the video will be available to view online at www.liveregisandkelly.com and www.christmasclassics.tv following tomorrow’s debut on Live.
Since its debut 42 years ago, the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer special, handled by Classic Media, has been watched by more than 100 million families as a holiday viewing staple. The title song has been recorded by such legendary performers as Gene Autry, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and The Supremes, as well as contemporary recording artists Harry Connick Jr. and Destiny’s Child.
