The Real Santa

I love the idea of this animated short film about how Santa Claus really became a reality. Without giving away any spoilers, I'll just ask: who would have guessed? But if you think about it, the explanation we get here actually makes sense-at least, unless you take it too seriously. And it's not just about how Santa became who or what he is, but also about why he does the things Santa is known for. The origin of Santa and his maneuvers was a really clever twist! The animation quality is quite good, and the characters look adorable. I tried to spot all the different influences on the story and scenes, but there are probably too many. X-Men, Harry Potter, and others are easy to catch, but there are clearly many more.
