Viewing Notes

This one is interesting because it combines a lot of footage shot in Alaska of things like walruses, polar bears, Eskimo people, etc. with Santa Claus explaining how everything works and what he does when it’s not Christmas. Considering cars were overtaking everything else in this time period and industrialization was really changing manufacturing, it’s interesting to see the changes to the mythology to support changes in society.
