The Night Before Christmas

The Night Before Christmas is an animated Silly Symphony that was released on December 9, 1933, following the previous year's Santa's Workshop.
==Summary==
In a loose adaptation of Clement C. Moore's famous poem, St. Nick is seen delivering the toys that he made in 1932's Santa's Workshop to a house full of sleeping children. The toys come alive, and they dance around and have fun. The kids then wake up to find a beautiful Christmas tree with lots of toys.
==Censorship==
*The Amos and Andy toy sequence is cut entirely on television and VHS copies, as well as on the Walt Disney Treasures: More Silly Symphonies DVD as a mistake (Disney would do disc replacements where the cartoon now has the sequence restored back).
*Junior's face getting covered in fireplace soot, leaving him in blackface (which stays on him even as he opens his gift) is cut entirely on television and early VHS copies and on The Santa Clause.
==Trivia==
*This cartoon was featured every Christmas on The Mickey Mouse Club.
*Mickey Mouse puts in a "guest appearance" in wind-up toy form.
*Footage from this short film was used for the Disney's Sing-Along Songs volume, Very Merry Christmas Songs for the songs "Up on the Housetop" and "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers".
*A Walt Disney Christmas VHS presented the cartoon's opening from a reissue print, but the original opening title has been restored as of the Walt Disney Treasures: More Silly Symphonies DVD.
