The Night Before Christmas

A calm Christmas sketch for a child, and it is only a sketch.

The review

Christmas Eve, a household, a dream, Saint Nicholas on the roof. That is Porter's 1905 reel. The poem is the source, and the picture is a sketch of it. A child can watch it. I would not promise the verses, and I would not promise a plot past the roof.

It played the holidays, which is the right size for something this small. Put it on when people are already quiet. There is no twist waiting, and no second act. A house, a dream, a visitor on the roof, and then the reel is done.

The glance

Industry and Piety and Courage and Republic are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Peter Pan

56 instead of 44

Peter Pan is still a fantasy film, and it scores 56 instead of 44. What you gain is courage: She is brave in the lagoon.

The eight

2
Industry
No trade or job; Saint Nicholas on the roof is the visit.
7
Household
A household on Christmas Eve is the life this reel actually has.
4
Piety
A dream and Saint Nicholas, not a test of anyone's conscience.
2
Courage
Nobody risks a loss; the roof visit is wonder, not danger.
3
Republic
One household's eve, not a town, and the poem is the source.
6
Temperance
A holiday sketch that ends, rather than a reel selling another want.
6
Truth
Porter's picture is a sketch of the poem, not the poem itself.
5
Stewardship
A Christmas reel that played the holidays, and only as a sketch.

Alice in Wonderland

Nonsense is funny until it is a government. She comes back. Good.

The review

Wonderland is a place where authority is a temper: a queen who executes, a tea party that never ends, a caterpillar who sneers. Alice is polite and then she is done. The film's best moment is her refusal to take the queen's court as a real court. Curiosity brought her in. Judgment takes her out.

A child can enjoy the jokes. Say that the jokes are not a model of how a house or a school should run. A world that changes the rules to watch you stumble is not a wonder. It is a bully with a teapot.

Peter Pan

56 instead of 44

Peter Pan is still a animation film, and it scores 56 instead of 44. What you gain is household: The ending is a return to parents, and her own future as a mother.

The eight

2
Industry
No work. A dream.
4
Household
She wants to get back to her sister and the bank.
2
Piety
None. Manners without substance.
6
Courage
She tells the queen the court is absurd.
4
Republic
A tyranny of cards. She will not play it as real.
5
Temperance
Curiosity without a limit is how she gets lost.
7
Truth
The rules are fake. She says so.
5
Stewardship
The good ending is the grass she started from.
