Countdown to Christmas: The Night Before Christmas (1933)

 Disney took a swing at Clement Moore's 'Twas The Night Before Christmas in a 1933 Silly Symphony with this loose adaptation that might not see too much airtime these days due to a very, very brief stretch during the final couple of minutes when the youngest child is briefly in blackface due to soot falling on his mug when he looks up the chimney after Santa has departed.

Check it for yourselves, pilgrims.


That brief blackface bit is really harmless. After all, he is just a little kid.

Rating: B.
