Santa's Workshop

Santa's Workshop is an animated Silly Symphony short from 1932.
==Synopsis==
The short starts off with some elves cleaning Santa's Sleigh while singing. As they’re cleaning the sleigh, one of the elves mentions that tomorrow is Christmas Day. It then cuts to elves getting the reindeer ready for delivering presents. The camera then cuts to Santa opening and reading letters. The first letter he reads is from a girl named Molly asking for a doll. Santa asks his elf to check the list to see if the girl is naughty or nice. The girl is nice and okay because she eats her spinach every day. The second letter is from a boy named Billy Brown asking for several things and Santa decides to give him Noah's ark. The elf checks the list and finds that he is naughty because he hasn't washed behind his ears for seven years. Nevertheless, Santa gives him a pass and says he'll even add a cake of soap. In his workshop, there're several elves making toys, including a summarized version of the making of rocking horses.
The short then shows the making of dolls. Santa approves dolls for shipping, and then spins a toy plane which knocks several toys off a shelf. As this happens, a parade of toys marches into Santa's sack as he carries them to his sleigh, where several elves are cheering him on. Santa and his elves being to sing a goodbye song and the elves wish the audience a Merry Christmas Day.
