Certainly lives up to its reputation as the bleakest of the Rankin/Bass collection. But the 20 minutes of wallowing in misery is worthwhile for the company's best finale ever.

Paste Magazine
A poignant third act restores his faith in humanity, all the while making up for some of the roughest animation work in the Videocraft catalogue.

AV Club
I thought "Rudolph" was the worst animation I had seen, until seeing Drummer Boy again. Aaron the misanthropic drummer, formerly with Metallica, and his animal friends skitter across the Sinai like cockroaches on Red Bull.

A Christmas children's special that actually depicts events from the Bible? What a concept!

Globe and Mail
A tiresome journey to the end. Its heart is in the right place, but it never arrives at a place that's interesting.

Syfy Wire
It paints people in a really terrible light and is actually more of a reflection of the social climate of 1968.

Nerdist
The drummer boy is a misanthrope who hates all of humanity, which makes for a surprisingly entertaining character to follow around. Rankin/Bass was terrified of playing up the darker sides of its characters. It shouldn't have been.
