A Holiday...Treat?

My wife grabbed the video of this cute little claymation film at my request: I saw that Mike Nelson had done a Rifftrax for the short, and since it was from the same people who made the old Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman and Jack Frost specials, I thought it looked like fun.

Things were darker back then. While in the end this is a cute little story (about the Donkey that saved Jesus...yes, you read that right...), it's also pretty freakin' depressing. There are some things you're not used to seeing in Chrismtas specials, like...well, I don't want to give too much away. Enjoy Part One of this Three Part Story, "Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey" (or, as my wife referred to it, "Bambi 2: The Revenge!").
