The Town Santa Forgot.






                                        The Town Santa Forgot.



This was a huge hit, everyone loved the story and for me the animation was great 

for when it was made plus have the great Dick Van Dyke voicing it made it that 

much better. So, with that, lets get to the story shall we:







On a snowy Christmas Eve, a pair of anxious young children eagerly 

anticipate the arrival of Santa Claus and the gifts that they will be 

receiving. Taking notice of this, their elderly grandfather narrates a 

poetic fable with the intentions of educating them on the true nature of 

the holidays.

The tale details the life of an outrageously overindulged, bratty 5-year-

old named Jeremy Creek, who is excessively spoiled by his mild and 

intimidated parents, flinging himself into destructive and violent temper 

tantrums when his demands are not met. After his parents decide to 

stand their ground by refusing to dote on their son any longer, an 

infuriated Jeremy, recalling the upcoming Christmas season, decides to 

write Santa Claus a lengthy and demanding wish list consisting of all the 

presents that he does not yet own. However, when Santa receives the 

massive list, he assumes that it was written on behalf of multiple people.

 He discovers an impoverished swamp town coincidentally named 

"Jeremy Creek" on his map, and realizing he has never delivered them 

presents before, resolves to make up for his prior absences.

On Christmas morning, Jeremy is crestfallen to discover there are no 

gifts for him beneath the Christmas tree, and catches sight of a news 

broadcast detailing the joy of the penniless and bedraggled children of 

the town Jeremy Creek upon receiving the countless presents from 

Santa. Surprisingly, Jeremy himself is touched by the joy brought to the 

less fortunate through his own greed inadvertently, and his self-

absorption is dissolved upon the realization of the true meaning of 

Christmas. Santa also visits Jeremy to apologize for the mistake, and in 

recognition of his newfound selflessness, Santa offers him the 

opportunity to help him deliver gifts every Christmas Eve. Jeremy 

agrees, giving away many of his own toys, and continues to aid Santa 

until he grows too big to fit in the sleigh.

The grandfather concludes the story by explaining that Santa selects 

new assistants like Jeremy every few years. The grandchildren, taking 

the story to heart, are no longer quite as concerned with toys. As the 

special concludes, the two grandchildren ponder if one of them could be 

Santa's assistant, and the grandfather muses the same could be true of 

him, as the name on his mailbox reveals he is actually Jeremy Creek 

himself.

                                  Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale . There are so many versions of the Nutcracker but not all of them are  created equal, some are down right bad but this one is one of the best  ones you will ever see plus who doesn't love Tom and Jerry. There movie  proves why they have been a staple in family homes since they came on  the cartoon scene. The animation and story are perfect they fit well  together and if you know me that is a deal breaker, if they don't match  or  fit together they wont work but this one is perfect. So, with that, lets  get to the story shall we: Jerry  and his nephew  Tuffy  watch the  Christmas   ballet  in  New York   City  while a group of cats, including  Tom , sing a song for the Cat King in  an alley overlooking the  Empire State Building .
