This is introduced by a real guy, but he seems pretty confused (read: drunk). The actual cartoon begins with a cricket letting himself in through a window to get out of a snowstorm. What the fuck? Did he just say "It's a shitty one"??? Anyway, the cricket tells the main story, which, naturally, is full of animals that have nothing to do with the plot and songs that suck absolute shit. The number one problem with this cartoon though is that the cricket looks like a penis. Seriously, no matter what was happening in the story, I just sat there thinking to myself "I'm watching a penis save Christmas". If it was that distracting for me, I can't imagine how a girl or a fag could watch this. And could someone please explain to me what the singing cat had to do with anything? Or why the bad guy has to send his pet crow to a bar to hire a monkey to kill the cricket? Doesn't he own any shoes? (I did like how this little scheme played out though: the monkey, the crow, and their cat partner decide to kidnap the cricket instead so they can sell him to this sea captain, but instead of paying up the sea captain pulls out a handgun and shoots and kills all three of them.) And really, wasn't this cartoon weird and dumb enough without having a bunch toys come to life and then do absolutely nothing? Seriously, this is completely nonsensical and horrible beyond belief. Fuck you, Charles Dickens.
