“Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” (1970)

Directed by Arthur Rankin Jr. & Jules Bass

Celebrate the season with the story of Kris Kringle in the original holiday special “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town!” After being discovered by a family of elves, baby Claus is raised by the Kringles and grows up to become a toymaker. Wanting to share his toys with the children of Sombertown, Kris must overcome the Winter Warlock and the Burgermeister Meisterburger along with some help from Miss Jessica and Topper. Based on the timeless song, the Rankin/Bass production of “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town“ features groundbreaking “Animagic” stop-motion animation and is sung and told by Fred Astaire. It’s pure holiday magic for the entire family!

This is another claymation holiday classic that I love to watch every year. It is so cheesy I can’t get enough. Should a few parts be changed? Of course, but I still love watching it every year.
