From Santa Cruz to Santa Claus? I feel a song coming on...
Animation & Artists Moving Image 1988 5 mins
Overview
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.
