Behind the Scenes of 'Grandma Got Run Over'

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer animated special celebrates 25th anniversary, but its creation was marred by a dispute over merchandising royalties between Elmo Shropshire, the original singer, and a producer. Shropshires voice was replaced by Gary Chase, and the final version was toned down to appeal to a broader audience. Despite the challenges, the special continues to be a holiday favorite.
