The Shanty Where Santy Claus Lives (1933)
It's Christmas Eve. A poor orphan boy trudges through the snow. He finally
arrives at his miserable cabin. While he is crying, Santa arrives and,
singing the title song, offers to take the boy to his workshop. They
arrive, and the toys go wild (in the full version, they sing the title
song, but this has been censored in some versions due to outdated
stereotypes). A candle falls off the tree and starts a fire. The toys try
in vain to fight the fire; the boy hooks up a hose to a set of bagpipes
and takes care of it. B&W animated short. (6:46)
Snow Foolin' (1949)
Directed by Izzy Sparber. Various animals prepare for winter and enjoy a
variety of winter sports. A hen invites us to follow her bouncing egg and
sing along to "Jingle Bells". Finally, a turtle dispenses hot coffee to a
bird on her nest. Animated color short. (6:02)
