What happens
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. The short was released early alongside the film Vanity Street on December 21, 1932, at the Warner Bros. Theater in Hollywood; the short would be released in theaters in the United States on December 24, 1932. It is the final Harman-Ising era cartoon distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures to not have its copyright renewed, and is hence in the public domain. It makes use of a Great Depression setting of Christmas where Santa Claus is seeking shelter. The short takes place at a shantytown; hence the name "The Shanty Where Santy Claus Lives". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
