The Naughty List
Synopsis
Santa Claus is overcome by lethargy, and it's up to his helper elf to kick him into gear.
Film notes
Rather than another unnecessary dig at contemporary culture, the story of "The Naughty List" is intended to be analogous to the all-familiar frustrations of working in any industry where the chain of command hinders productivity. Complementing the medium, the world of animation in particular can oftentimes lead to needless stresses and complications when producers, clients and higher-ups are unfamiliar with the territory or the labour involved. The purpose of the film was to address it in an entirely good-natured sense, focusing mainly on the farcical nature of such situations.
