Where are all the Rudolph Stop-Motion Puppets?

It is that time of year again when all the Christmas holiday TV specials air once again. But what was to come of those puppets that we all remember? LSuperSonicQ made the above video to explain the history and fate of the puppets. Particularly those made by the Rankin/Bass team in cooperation with artisans in Japan. The video goes on to show how the puppets were found, restored, where they traveled and where they are today. Over-all it's a great piece of research with a happy ending.
