. . . alternating between live-action and animation, serving up three Santas, proffering a ghostly Sandman, and crowding brother Peter almost atop sister Connie in their attic bedroom. Maybe First Reich Germans waited until their tykes were tucked in bed on Christmas Eve before bringing the Yule Tree into the Family Room, but this was NEVER the practice in post-World War Two America. Viewers will also wonder why the Sandman is a translucent spirit, but the "Real" Santa has a corporeal body. The middle cartoon segment of CHR!STMAS TOYSHOP is equally inconsistent, mixing the Looney Tunes trope of toys-come-to-life with an implausible biological spider traipsing through the wintry landscape to drop down the toy shop chimney like a six-legged anti-Santa. This recycled cartoon actually shares a Passport Video disc called RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER AND FRIENDS with RED-HEADED BABY, the authentic Looney Tunes version of CHR!STMAS TOYSHOP (or Fox's YE OLD TOYSHOP, for that matter). Sharp-eyed viewers will note that the Warner Bros. spider kidnapping a female is a WIND-UP TOY, keeping the Looney Tune internally consistent.
