with Christmas on its way until next month, I present this tape featuring 3 classic shorts set around Christmas Time and the first of the 3 is not set around Christmas to be exact. <br /><br />1. Toys Will Be Toys (1949) the Toys in a toy store come to life at night, and perform in a toy parade before the Doll Princess, all of which leads to the "Screen Song" sing-a-long, "Oh, You Beautiful Doll". Note: This was one of the final "Screen Song" cartoons produced by Paramount, featuring the "bouncing ball" progression through the lyrics of "Oh, You Beautiful Doll".<br /><br />2. the Candlemaker (1957) a Candlemaker entrusts his young son with the task of making candles for their church on Christmas Eve and learns a valuable lesson about the true meaning of Christmas.<br /><br />and 3. witness the first Christmas by following the Star of Bethlehem told in Silhouette Puppets with music performed by the Glyndebourne Festival Chorus and narrated by Barbara Ruick.<br /><br />this video goes out to Robert Coates.
