I had completely forgotten about this horrid gem from I first saw it as a child in the early 1960s. Much to my (displeased) surprised, I saw again on TCM. The puppet faces, especially that of Santa, reminded me how much this little piece scared the bejesus out of me when I was very young.
The premise is simple: Santa Claus doesn't give animals Christmas presents and two of the ugly creatures go to the North Pole to find out why.
I'm sure there are children today, despite all the other scary stuff they're exposed to, who would be creeped out by this short from hell.
I can only recommend this for those who like their Christmases dark.
