"I ended his young anxiety by changing the channel."

"No, Lupita!!!"

Oh good lord, yes.  That little barrel of crazy popped up on YouTube last year to my delight (see here: http://babbletrish.blogspot… ).

I have incredibly vague memories of that one.  Doesn't one of the brothers end up paralyzed or something?

Yes, I have incredibly vague memories of the one time that thing aired and I've been looking for it ever since to no avail.  It's the "NKOTB" cartoon (the show that resembles a YouTube Poop of itself) at it's most deeply bizarre and I think the angel kid flies away in a magical pimpmobile-looking car or something. …

I am a Don Bluth fan and even I sometimes suspect he feeds on the tears of children.

Oh good God, "Merry Christmas Mr. Bean" is a thing of beauty.

"Santa and the Three Bears"!  Personally, I always liked "The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas", if only because it is kind of batsh*t insane.  (Hopefully the Advent Calendar will cover it, but in case they don't: http://madnessmonster.wordp… )

For whatever reason, the supervisor of the Ladies Choral Group in my high school decided that a weird color version of "Amahl" would be a terrific work of cinema to get us all pumped to sing Christmas songs for the next three months in preparation for our school's holiday concert.

I guess, given that I pointedly asked my folks things like "but if he doesn't have a brother or a sister, where did Huey Duey and Louis come from?", that I was one of the weird six-year-olds then.

"Old Testament Santa Claus"

I saw that one On Demand when the Deepwater Horizon oil spill was still pretty fresh in my mind.  The fact that Santa Claus was threatened by oil drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge was hilariously/heartbreakingly timely.

There's another nod to that style in "Red Sleigh Down", for the record.

We don't know for sure it wouldn't.  I will lend supplies of pencils and stationary with cute forest animals on it toward forwarding Todd's experiment.

"Like" times a dozen.  I thought that's what the Three Stooges movie was going to be all this
time too.  That was all but confirmed as soon as Benicio and Penn got involved, and I assumed somehow the Farrellis had been working on an introspective biopic that was taking a very long time to give just the right amount of…
