History Trivia / TheChristmasTree

* CreatorKiller[=/=]OneBookAuthor: This special marks [[AwesomeMcCoolname Flamarion Ferreira's]] only directing role; since then she's continued to work as an animator on other projects.

* ReclusiveArtist: Trying to find any contact information[[note]]or any general information at all for that matter[[/note]] for anyone involved with the special is next to impossible.
* ThrowItIn: At times, you can hear that Mrs. Mavilda's lines are ''very'' brickwalled whenever she is yelling (including when near the beginning her voice suddenly jumps when she says "Come, children. Follow me. '''''ANOTHER''''' thing...", and when she fires Judy). In addition, many of the children (when they aren't voiced by pitch-shifted voices or actors clearly older than they are) slur their lines a ''lot''. None of this was edited for the final product.

* ColbertBump: This special was virtually unheard of until the WebVideo/NostalgiaCritic reviewed it, although it was ranked as #12 in "WebVideo/FamiliarFaces #72: The Next 12 Forgotten Christmas Specials".

* ChildrenVoicingChildren: [[TropesAreNotGood A good example of how this can backfire.]] The child characters seem to be voiced by actual five and six-year old kids and given little to no voice direction. The result is a lot of mumbling, slurring, and bad acting. Bizarrely subverted with one child who is clearly voiced by someone much older and sounds entirely out of place from the rest of the kids. Another one has an oddly distorted voice, possibly indicating that child was also voiced by someone older, and the voice sped up to try and hide this.

* OldShame: The USA network only aired this special once in 1991 and have since acted like it never existed.

* [[AmateurCast Amateur Cast/Crew]]: The majority of the credited cast and crew has no known film or television career outside of this special[[note]]the lone exception being the film's director, Flamarion Ferreira, who's worked on shows like ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'', ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'', ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', and ''WesternAnimation/PennZeroPartTimeHero'' as a background painter and storyboard artist[[/note]]. This goes a long way towards explaining the sheer ineptitude of the acting and animation.
