Before the advent of television, animated shorts were screened in movie theaters as part of the pre-feature presentation. When those classic cartoons were finally aired on television in the 1950s and '60s, many were shortened to fit into required broadcast time limits. Boasting crisply remastered sound and picture quality, this collection restores nine classic Christmas-themed cartoons to their original theatrical lengths for an authentic moviegoing experience from the Golden Age of Cinema: "Ginger Nutt's Christmas Circus," "Peeping Penguins," "A Waif's Welcome," "Christmas Comes But Once a Year," "Jack Frost," "Hawaiian Birds," "Hector's Hectic Life," "Snow Foolin'," and Max Fleischer's "Somewhere in Dreamland," which appears in its original Technicolored full-length for the first time in 50 years.
