The Story of Santa Claus (1996 TV Movie)
6/10
classical style
30 November 2020
Toymaker Nicholas "Santa" Claus and his wife Gretchen are being evicted by their greedy landlord Mr. Minch after a lifetime of giving away his toys. Homeless and penniless, they decide to give away their remaining toys to an island orphanage. They are trying to sail to the island when a storm shipwrecks their boat at the North Pole. They find elves and wizard Nostros.

The animation is old fashion hand-drawn style. The story is fine for the first half. I am glad that it ends with the poor boatman getting a new boat. Santa did not forget about him. All in all, it's better than most of the non-classic Christmas specials. Those can get really bad.
