It's late and I'm tired, so here are my quick thoughts on The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (directed unsurprisingly, again, by Rankin and Bass). I was more familiar with the 2000 animated version of this film (which you might see here in a few days) and didn't really know what to expect. The "animagic" style of stop-motion animation suits the whimsical fairy tale nature of this story, but at a short 45 minutes it feels like it hurries to reach its conclusion.
Worth a watch at least once, especially to take in the weirdness of the story when compared with every other Santa story out there, but not essential.
5/10
