About Merrie Melodies: The Shanty Where Santy Claus Lives (1932)

The Shanty Where Santy Claus Lives is a 1932 American animated comedy short film directed by Rudolf Ising. It is the nineteenth film in the Merrie Melodies series.

On Christmas Eve, a sad and lonely boy walks past a church and listens to the people inside sing "Silent Night". He walks past a house, and watches the people celebrate Christmas with their family. Suddenly, a gust of wind blows, knocks him against the wall of a nearby tool shed, and covers him in snow. When he returns home, the boy opens his stocking, and discovers nothing inside. As he lies in a chair there crying, he hears the sound of sleigh bells ringing.
