Apparently in 1951, children liked scary clowns and Santa Claus being kidnapped and beaten for Christmas!! The sepia tone didn't help at all. And only the last thirty seconds were animated (not sure why it was included in a cartoon DVD). A terrible mess, and I thought Howdy Doody had higher standards.
The clown looks incredibly frightening and would give Pennywise from Stephen King's It a run for his money! This short is just an overall fail. I don't know how children of that era didn't have nightmares after watching this trainwreck!! One of the worst Christmas specials I have ever watched. I do not recommend this for children under 7.
