Your call.Īfter a blink-and-you'll-miss-it sight gag where the Statue of Liberty is shown with a Santa-make-over, the tree goes up in Rockefeller Center Rocky Fellow Center (yeah, I didn't think that one was funny, either). Or, you know, ignore this warning and get spoiled. Go find it streaming somewhere, watch, and come back. Unlike the musical parodies, this really makes use of some clever plot twists, so if you like the Animaniacs but have never seen this one before, maybe it's a good time to apply the breaks. Animaniacs has done some great holiday bits over the years, but I'm pretty sure this is my favorite, barring the musical parodies. They hop in their truck and drive off, heading for New York, where. There's a touch of toonish absurdity to the whole thing, but there's also a bit of sincerity in the holiday music and the expressions on the lumberjacks' faces. But neither of these are Christmas themed, so I've got nothing more to say about them.īack to "The Christmas Tree." The story opens in a snowy forest with a giant pine tree being cut down by lumberjacks. The Deadline bit was fun, if a bit repetitive, but I've never really been a fan of the Katie KaBoom shorts. The other shorts included a Katie KaBoom bit about her negotiating the rules for going to the prom and a Deadline short built around Chicken Boo. It doesn't run the full thirty minutes, but it takes up about 2/3rds of the half hour slot. They tacked on the holiday opening, featuring snow over the credits, too, before starting the story. "The Christmas Tree" opened the third-to-last episode of the series.
