The Night Before Christmas

The Night Before Christmas is an animated Silly Symphony that debuted on December 9, 1933, following the previous year's "Santa's Workshop".

Summary
In a loose adaptation of Clement C. Moore's famous poem, St. Nick is seen delivering the toys that he made in 1932's "Santa's Workshop" to a house full of sleeping children. The toys come alive, and they dance around and have fun. The kids awake to find a beautiful Christmas tree with lots of toys.

Trivia

 * Scenes deleted from some A Walt Disney Christmas VHS and laserdisc releases: Santa gets full of soot when he comes down the chimney, and he appears in blackface. Then, when the kids wake up, Junior catches Santa going up the fireplace. Running to the fireplace, he gets full of soot, and he dances around in blackface. Recent VHS releases seem to have these back in.
 * Mickey Mouse puts in a "guest appearance" in wind-up toy form.
