Twas the Night Before Christmas
A curious bit of animation made in 1974 spun around the poem of the same name. In a world where mice and humans get along, and even work together, Santa Claus is pissed. An angry letter addressed to our favorite North Pole resident makes Junctiontown the Cuba of Christmas, as far as Mr Claus is concerned. Can The Clockmaker’s invention(a big honking clock that plays music at the stroke of midnight) save the town from disappointment, lack of laughter and pony-less little girls? Probably.
Art Carney – ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas – 1954
While searching for the gem from Kid Groonk’s childhood, this odd bit was found. A beatnik approach to the classic poem. i can’t say that I like it, but I *can* say it’s unique enough to give it a go.
