The Nutcracker Prince – (1990)

Director: Paul Schibli Starring: (voice) Kiefer Sutherland, Megan Follows, Peter O’Toole

This film was one of my favorites as a child and I enjoy it now. There are only so many that can do that. This story is a Classic tale of a girl’s dreams becoming reality when her new toy turns out to be a young man placed under a curse.

Bugs Bunny Christmas Carol – (1979)

Director: Friz Freleng Starring: Mel Blanc

This is a personal favourite. The characters are really funny and all have great personalities. Yosemite Sam is miserly Ebenezer Scrooge in this parody of Charles Dickens’ classic tale. Porky Pig, as Scrooge’s clerk (Bob Cratchit), is fired on Christmas eve for the unpardonable act of using coal to keep warm. When Scrooge evicts Cratchit and his family from their modest dwelling, heroic Bugs Bunny decides to dress like a ghost and teach the hot-tempered miser a lesson on the meaning of Christmas. A must watch!
