Santa's Workshop, 1932
Walt Disney switched from Christmas comic violence in 1931 (Mickey’s Orphans) to Christmas charming musicality the following year. The biggest gag in Santa’s Workshop was a doll being scared by a spider so her messy hair will stand on end to be put through a permanent wave machine. He’s not being shot in the butt by cats smaller than a mouse like in the Mickey cartoon the year before. But there’s lots of colour to dazzle people’s minds away from the lack of a story, some nice early ‘30s settings and plenty of characters marching (or doing other stuff) to fill the screen.

"Santa's Workshop" seams to have a better detailed moon (the backdrop invokes a more majestic feel), but the reindeer are recycled.
ReplyDeleteIs is actually not a moon, but a ''midnight sun''. But is looks more majestic in the first picture indeed!
