Wow, this Christmas classic answers all of the little ones' inevitable questions about the origin of Santa, the use of stockings, the use of a chimney, how reindeer fly, etc. In the middle of the main story is a villain, the Warlock, who is transformed from an evil figure to a good one as a result of Santa giving him a toy. Meanwhile, the mayor of Sombertown is determined to uphold his ban on toys, much to the chagrin of Jessica, who is falling in love with Kris Kringle (Santa). As always, the Rankin Bass specials aren't complete without a message; in this case, it's good defeating evil, goodwill and love over hate and persecution. The story is narrated by Fred Astaire, who does a fine job. Santa Claus is Comin' to Town stands as one of the true classics, and belongs in everyone's animated Chrustmas collection.
