Why the Bears Dance on Christmas Eve

Why the Bears Dance on Christmas Eve is a 1977 American animated Christmas special created by Tele-Tactics. It follows the tale of a shy bear named Bashful who is tasked with protecting Santa Claus from four environmental villains. It was shown only once on ABC before vanishing from television.

Availability
As mentioned above, this special was only aired once on ABC. This is because the company who created it (Tele-Tactics) went bust around the same time, and no one else seemed to have optimism to re-release their material. It wasn't until a staff member of the company gave a print to YouTuber nycajulio in 2012, and it can now be viewed in its entirety there. It's still very unlikely that it'll be screened on television ever again, though.
