3 The film was originally sponsored by Coca Cola. The creators had only 3 months to make it, finally they came out with a very unusual movie: the characters have children’s voices, it has no laugh track, the animation is really simple, the whole thing is pretty slow, the soundtrack is jazz, it has a massive element of social criticism (commercialisation and secularization of Christmas), it has a few lines from the Bible.

4 Christmas is coming and Charlie isn’t really happy. He feels bad about commercialism that surrounds the holiday. His friend, Sally suggests that he should direct the school Christmas play. He hopes it will help him find the true meaning of Christmas. After some difficulties, with a little help from Linus, his blanket-dependent friend, who makes a speech the real Christmas happiness appears.
