Christmas Favorite

I love Christmas time and not a Christmas goes by that I do not watch one of my favorite Christmas movies, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. Its an old classic. Its 48 minutes and I love every minute of it. It was directed by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr. The writer was Romeo Muller. However, those names to me and most of us probably do not ring a bell because this film came out in 1970. This movie is about a baby whos name is Kris who was left at the doorstep of the Kringle family, who are toymakers. Kris grows up and he wants to bring toys to all the children of Sombertown. However, the mean king Burgermeister doesn't want to let that happen. Also, there is a winter warlock that lives between the Kringles house and Sombertown which also complicated things a bit. (SPOILER ALERT) Kris melts Winter's heart (the warlock) and delivers the toys to Sombertown. Probably my favorite scene in this movie is when Kris manages to melt Winter's heart and the great song ensues, "Put one foot in front of the otherrrrr and soon you'll be walking out the dooooooor!" Well, just watch for yourself.

This movie is so great! Everyone should watch it this winter!
