  • An odd christmas special I originally uploaded on a very alternate RUclips account I had forgotten about.
    Well here it is in it's full glory... this odd special I watched and liked as a kid. Now... I dunno what the hell I was thinking...

    I hope Helen Quirk (Mrs Mavilda's voice actress) got the respect she deserves, she was the only one who gave a damn about her performance and putting emotions in her words.
    And yet, this little movie is a gem of that kind of trash that makes you laugh so much you can't get tired of it, I love it and the fact that they choose actual children to voice them and you can hear them stuttering and talking in an almost-incomprehensible way, instead of putting there adults to form long and complex sentences in a perfect english, is quite good.
    Still, long live Helen Quirk and her Mavilda's performance and long live Mavilda herself, the only one who got that the kids were putting up a literal cult for a tree and tried to stop them.

    Literally no one on this movie's IMDb page has any other credits.
    The producer/director (Flamarion Ferreira, which I gotta admit is one of the most awesome names of all time) is credited as a background artist on Land Before Time, no other producing credits. Some of the technical crew have worked on other stuff, but no one in the voice cast, or the writer, the production manager, etc.
    I kinda want to track down some of the people who worked on this and get the story behind this thing.

    • @Nikerox1000
      @Nikerox1000 8 лет назад +42

      I've spent the last half-hour trying to find out everything I can about this. Here's what IMDB has given:
      - Flamarion Ferreira is listed as the director, but if you go to his IMDB page, he's also listed as the animator and character designer. He's also apparently been a part of several other animated TV shows and movies like Babes in Toyland, Fantastic Four (the series), He-Man, She-Ra, the Smurfs, Animaniacs, the list goes on. Here's his IMDB page so you can see what I mean: www.imdb.com/name/nm0274319/?ref_=tt_ov_dr
      Something I found interesting is that for every single project he's listed as working on, he's listed as NOT an animator but as either a background artist, a colour stylist, or a modeller. Much more of the first than the other two. Might explain the stiff animation.
      - None of the actors are listed to have been in any other movies, with the only exception being Helen Quinn (Mrs. Mavilda). The only other thing she's worked in is some BBC documentary mini-series from 1994 called, "Tales from the Opera," (note: she's not an actor
      in this; she's listed as being "herself" on IMDB) which I haven't found any more information on.
      - The editor, Joseph Simon, is listed as a production manager for a lot of the same TV series that Flamarion Ferreira worked on, and has only credited as an actual editor for one other short that was made 20 years earlier. The production manager, meanwhile, had no other credits as such. So just to reiterate, someone whom the director likely KNEW was an actual production manager was given the job of editor, while someone who apparently had NO experience in film making was given the job of production manager.
      That's as far as I'm digging (for now at least). Feel free to go digging yourself or check to see if I got things down right; in which case, here's the IMDB page: www.imdb.com/title/tt1651146/?ref_=nm_flmg_anm_13

    Such an inavatovie story of the orange, adoption& what an exquisite Christmas story. As a child coming from such similar circumstances now all grown up I will have to say this is by far the best Christmas story I've ever come by. They don't have oranges anymore in the us. But they di have foster homes. I try not to wish anymore I oray& I pray every foster child could get to see this vedio. God bless Happy early Thanksgiving& Mrrry Christmas to you& your family you've given me thr bedt Christmas gift of all. Knowing what of Gods will I have not done yet. Thank you.❤🙍‍♀️✍👩‍💻💍🙏😘

    What a masterpiece. The animation is absolutely stunning. Each character is likeable & well developed. The concept is original & clever. The plot is intense & compelling. The villain's motivations make so much sense. The acting is some of the best I've seen in cinematic history. This is greatest film since Twilight. I know this is a bold statement, but I honestly think this is even better than everyone's favorite film, Catwoman. This is almost as much of a masterpiece as Fifty Shades Of Grey is

    I actually knew about The Christmas Tree LOOONG before people like The Nostalgia Critic and Phelous and CR covered it. This travesty was on an old recorded VHS tape that my family had, sandwiched between How The Grinch Stole Christmas and A Chipmunk Christmas (both of which involved the great Chuck Jones), and I would usually skip over it or avoid watching it because of how dull and lifeless it was most of the time, though I still clearly remember moments of it like the scene in which Mrs. Mavilda is struck by lightning right out of nowhere. It amazes me how The Christmas Tree has been re-discovered all these years later, as well as just how much of a mess it really was, with it even being compared to "The Room", of all things!
    I'm usually curious about obscure media, especially animation, and I like knowing what the behind-the-scenes of certain productions was like. In this case, especially, I can't help but wonder how they managed to botch up something like this so badly. Would Flamarion Ferreira even be willing to talk about this if someone asked?

      The blonde kid was actually talking; he was just off-screen.
      I'm not defending this pile of horseshit, but still.

    38:33, you know it's a great movie when your animators or editors don't remember about the background characters who are shadows and not fully drawn in. Pretty darn clear.

    Thank you for having this one! I bought a used VHS tape of this çartoon at the late Salvation Army in St. Johns, labeled "Christmas Classics", and it certainly is! I watched it once and immediately fell in love with it. Some other folks saw this cartoon and loved it so much, they made up a song titled "I Want to Give Judy a Great Big Kiss which really didn't go anywhere because most folks hsd never seen the cartoon, so they didn't know who "Judy" was. In my opinion "The Christmas Tree" belongs right up there with Rudolph, Frosty, Charlie Brown, the Grinch, the Aliens, Buttons & Rusty, "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town", "The Year Without a Santa Claus" and "The Night Before Christmas". Feliz Navidad!
