From Santa Cruz to Santa Claus? I feel a song coming on...

Take equal parts nativity story, music video and western and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle liberally with animation and serve with a healthy dollop of irreverence. Mike Walker's first-year film at the Royal College of Art is a delightful blend of artfulness, clichés and pop, capturing the spirit of a youth culture emerging from the troubled 1980s into a more liberated 1990s.

Short animated student film from the Royal College of Art. The Nativity story is retold using the format of a western. Santa kidnaps the baby sheriff and the three brothers Wise set off to get him back.
