In addition to the WPIX Yule Log (how many stations do that these days?), WGN TV is also including some really old animation:
Note--on my browser, the audio didn't track with the video. That leaves you with about a minute of silent animation after the track ends. Oddly enough, it doesn't detract from the experience.
Is is my imagination, or is Santa in "Hardrock, Coco, and Joe" in desperate need of Atarax and an epi-pen? Poor guy looks like he lost a fight with a bee swarm.
Suzy Snowflake is a serial killer whose MO involves smothering her victims in piles of snow, and then leaving them dressed as snowmen. Having finished her night's work, she takes off to the forest to plan her next night's crimes.
Frosty the snowman comes to life after what looks like something that was dreamed up after watching a performance of "The Rite of Spring". After doing the usual song and dance Frosty attempts to lead the children out of town, ala a frozen pied piper. Luckily, police intervention keeps the children from being abducted, and his former captives cheering, Frosty skips town.
Seriously bad Christmas craziness from the nice people at WGN
