If you loved The Last Unicorn, try The Year Without a Santa Claus

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Arthur Rankin, Jr., Jules Bass, and they both carry the atmospheric, cozy, cult mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Last Unicorn, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Year Without a Santa Claus is

Even in the North Pole, no one reads the memo. With Christmas spirit as elusive as a caroler’s sheet music, Santa threatens to stay home mid-vacation. The elves must audition Santa’s emotional encore before the last ornament melts.
