The best Classic Christmas Cartoons
Cartoons have always been an essential part of christmas in my book. I remember in my childhood in Denmark, where we only got one hour of Walt Disneys great cartoons at christmas on TV the whole year. My parents also took me to the movies for a Disney cartoon show at a special cinema called Metropol. It was the highlight of the whole year and the only Disney cartoons we got. Nowadays you can buy almost every cartoon of the golden age from both Disney, Warner brothers, MGM and all the others on DVD. They also show them on TV all year long, but in the old days part of the waiting and anticipation for christmas was as much for the great cartoons as for the presents, at least I always felt that way. These old cartoons still have a big place in my heart, and I watch them with almost as much joy today, so here I have collected a list with as many of the short christmas cartoons as possible. Some of them I have only discovered in recent years, where other fans have posted their childhood favorites on Youtube and other sites, but most of them I remember from the christmas days of my own childhood.
