Christmas Cracker may be the most pointless short we’ve ever done, and we’ve done a short about gluing pine cones to cardboard tubes. Made by the Film Board of Canada, possibly on a dare, it weaves together three unrelated “stories,” in the same way that unintelligible graffiti scrawled on a bathroom stall, possibly in feces, is a “story." There’s a Jingle Bells music video that would be unimpressive even if you learned an ape had animated it. Then some toys come to life and bump into each other. And just when you think you couldn’t possibly take anymore Christmas cheer, there’s a short where a poorly animated guy goes into poorly animated space to get a poorly animated star for his Christmas tree, which is shockingly a lush, detailed animation, worthy of a Flemish master. We're just kidding - it’s poorly animated as well.
