Spent way too much time dissecting the accuracy of this statement with my husband so I finally took a few minutes to dig in and see how many of these there actually are. The results surprised me- five movies that I think solidly fit the category:

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

The Year Without a Santa Claus

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Santa Claus is Comin to Town

The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus

I’ve seen this discussed here before on occasion but never saw a complete list so apologies if this is treading old ground. In conclusion, I think it’s fair to say that the theme of Santa’s failure to perform his one primary duty and reason for his existence is indeed, for whatever reason, disproportionately represented among stop-motion films.

Watching this crew try to have conversations together and argue things out on the reunion show is.. something else. You can’t buy two brain cells to rub together, not even with all the money in Elise’s trust fund. It‘s a little shocking. Any one of them could say any insane thing at a given moment.
