Clement C. Moore

The story of Santa's visit on a snowy Christmas Eve is beautifully brought to life with exquisite illustrations and festive music.

Produced for Glass Eye Pix as part of their 2008 Creepy Christmas Online Film Festival, in which each short was inspired by the inhabitants of a Christmas diorama advent calendar. Each filmmaker was assigned a specific date and given the props that were used in that window to use in their short. This is the twenty-fourth film in the series.

A retelling of the classic Clement Moore poem that brings to life the spirit of anticipation and delight that Santa's annual visit brings to every child.

El programa se desarrolla en la ciudad ficticia de Junctionville, Nueva York, a finales del siglo XX. Santa Claus se ofende con una carta anónima impresa en el periódico de la ciudad (y firmó "todos nosotros") que afirma que él no existe. En respuesta, Santa les devuelve las cartas de toda la ciudad sin abrir. Al leer la carta anónima impresa en el periódico, el Padre Ratón, un ratón asistente del relojero humano Joshua Trundle, inmediatamente sospecha que su inteligente hijo Albert es su autor. Albert confirma sus sospechas, repitiéndole la carta literalmente.

Fictionalized account of how Clement C. Moore came to write "A Visit from St. Nicholas." His young daughter, stricken with pneumonia, asks for a Santa Claus story for Christmas. No such story had been written, so Moore writes his famous poem, set to Ken Darby's music and sung by The Norman Luboff Choir.

Animated adaptation of "Twas the night before Christmas" by Clement Clarke Moore executed in a simple limited animation style including 3-D objects and cut-out animation techniques.

Un narrador canta las estrofas iniciales del poema clásico mientras vemos la casa en reposo. Santa aterriza en el techo, baja por la chimenea y abre su bolsa. Los juguetes salen y decoran el árbol, con los soldados de juguete disparando bolas de su cañón, un avión de juguete ensartando una guirnalda como si fuera una escritura en el cielo y los bomberos de juguete aplicando nieve. Un dirigible lleva la estrella a la cima. Mientras tanto, Santa llena las medias. Su risa despierta a los niños, que se escabullen. Los juguetes se precipitan a sus lugares y Santa escapa por la chimenea justo a tiempo.

On Christmas Eve, Santa feeds his reindeer and loads his sleigh, before going on his journey to deliver toys to the children of the world.
