The Shanty Where Santy Claus Lives (1933) Christmas Cartoon Classic. A Christmas fable with a twist: on a cold Christmas Eve, a poor little boy wanders through a snowy village to his "shanty" on the other side of the tracks knowing that Santa Claus will never come to his house. Then in the distance, the sounds of hooves are heard, and old St. Nicholas himself bursts through the door. The one and only Santa Claus takes him aboard his sleigh to the North Pole and "the shanty where Santy Claus lives." The lad prepares to accompany St. Nick on his Christmas Eve rounds, but they first must load themselves up with some singing, dancing toys. A good example of Depression-era wealth fantasies. This cartoon would later be reworked as "Toyland Broadcast" by Rudolf Ising in 1934, following his move to MGM. Kate Smith is caricatured as a doll singing, "Shine on Harvest Moon". A brief animation clip from Red-Headed Baby is reused from the toy scene.

Christmas Eve. A poor orphan boy trudges through the snow, pathetically. He finally arrives at his miserable cabin. While he is crying, Santa arrives and, singing the title song, offers to take the boy to his workshop. They arrive, and the toys go wild (in the full version, they sing the title song, but this has been censored in some versions due to outdated stereotypes). He plays with a few toys. A candle falls off the tree and starts a fire. The toys try in vain to fight the fire; the boy hooks up a hose to a set of bagpipes and takes care of it.

A Hugh Harman-Rudolf Ising Production, Vitaphone Pictures. Merrie Melodies cartoon short produced by Leon Schlesinger for Warner Bros.
Animated By Rollin Hamilton, Norm Blackburn.
Originally Released on January 07, 1933.

The Shanty Where Santy Claus Lives was a Christmas-themed Merrie Melodies cartoon short that was about a Great Depression setting of Christmas where Santa Claus was seeking shelter. The short takes place at a shantytown hence the name "The Shanty Where Santy Claus Lives".

  • When you think about it this stuff is 10 times better then the shows out there now, this tells a story unlike that other junk on carton network and nick. I am 19 and used to love the "old" cartoons like rugrats doug and rocketpower but the shows now are point less and don't have the same feel such as this clip did or other shows like rugrats

  • @sammyboy44s I can't wait for your kids to grow up and start talking about how their shows are 10 times better than what is being put out. Your cartoons weren't any better, you just remember the best ones.
