If you’re following along with this blog, you’ve already watched the sequel, The Night Before Christmas, also directed by Wilfred Jackson. While the later cartoon was a clever short that featured Santa delivering toys to a house full of children, Santa’s Workshop, which takes place on the previous day, shows Santa and his elves hard at work actually making the toys. In many ways, this might be the superior cartoon – it was the first holiday Silly Symphony in technicolor, the gags are fantastic, Frank Churchill’s score is excellent, and who’s that uncredited voice playing the elf?
