Viewing Notes
Clever use of flat cutouts of the reindeer and sleigh moving against some wonderful backdrops. The first film production of Clement Clarke Moore’s 1823 poem, “Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Part of three early holiday silents available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjdUFgze3-I.
