** Another point is that the fairy tales we all know and love took place in 1023. Perrault's ''Cinderella'' was published in the 1600's and most of the Grimm fairy tales we see, like the Seven Dwarves from ''Snow White'' and ''Rumplestilskin'', were published in the 1800's. To be fair, since the Grimm Brothers merely collected their stories, it can be argued they took place in some far off time, but Perrault intended his stories to be satirical and timely.

''Rudolph's Shiny New Year'' is a 1976 StopMotion special created by Creator/RankinBassProductions. A direct sequel to their own ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer'', the special is narrated by Red Skelton as Father Time.
Father Time has a problem. Happy, the Baby New Year, has run off (or crawled off, as it were) because everyone was laughing at his big ears. If he's not found in time, the Old Year will never end and it will remain December 31st forever. Rudolph is sent to search for him in the Archipelago of Last Years, where the Old Years go to retire. Every Old Year lives on an island where it forever remains the year that he[[note]]Years appear to be AlwaysMale.[[/note]] reigned over.
Hitching a ride with a whale named Big Ben, Rudolph explores the archipelago, visiting three islands onscreen. He's joined on his quest by their personifications, "O.M" (short for "One Million BC"), Sir 1023 (pronounced "ten-to-three" for the time pun), and "Sev" (short for 1776). There is, of course, also a villain. It's a great evil bird called Eon the Terrible, so named because he's fated to live for exactly one eon. His eon will end with the New Year, so he hopes to capture Happy in order to freeze time and live forever.
