What happens

Santa's Workshop is a Walt Disney produced, animated short film directed by Wilfred Jackson, first released on December 10, 1932 in the Silly Symphonies series. The film features Santa Claus and his elves preparing for Christmas in Santa's workshop. Santa's Workshop is the first "Silly Symphonies" titled cartoon to develop with RCA's Photophone synchronization early-in-film sound system. The short features the first of the Marches Militaires by Franz Schubert. A sequel, The Night Before Christmas, partially based on the 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas", was made the year after, portraying Santa leaving the toys in a house with nine children.
