Christmas in Tattertown was originally the pilot for a proposed series called Tattertown created by Ralph Bakshi for Nickelodeon. It follows the adventures of a little girl and her two dolls: a dog and a girl. With her imagination, the girl and the dolls wind up in Tattertown, a place where all the lost items wind up. The girl doll escapes and plots to wreak havoc on everyone. In this episode, she makes like Santa and tries to take over the town. The human girl plays a record of Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" and gets everyone to be nice to each other which upsets the girl doll though she also gets overcome with emotion and gets presents...As with many Bakshi works, this can get frantic but there are some nice touches throughout. I liked the saxophone as the narrator and some of the tributes of various '30s and '40 animation with the Crosby ending especially good. Unfortunately, I saw this on YouTube where the third segment had no sound so instead of a 6, I'll have to give this one a 5. Maybe I'll change it if I see a more complete version.
