* AnAesop: "You always win when you are good."



* TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin: The [[AnAesop ending moral of the story]] outright states this.

Moved Broken Aesop to YMMV


* BrokenAesop: Oh, so broken. The very bad and tacked on "you always win when you are good" line is disproved ''by the movie's events themselves.'' From what we see of the orphans, they are well-behaved and nice to each other, yet are abused emotionally and physically by Mrs. Mavilda, so how can that aesop be accurate? Judy is also a good mother (well, when she's not saying selfish things like her out of character moment under ItsAllAboutMe) and yet she is forced into working for an evil woman and her children are subject to the same abuse as the other orphans. Plus, consider how Lily nearly dies during their search for Santa and she's just as good as the other kids.

** Mavilda's henchman who she uses in her attempt to frame Judy and then cut down the tree. When she first talks to him on the phone, his name is Mel and he speaks with a generic Bad Guy Brooklyn accent. When he arrives later with the chainsaw to cut down the tree, his name is now inexplicably Frank and he speaks with a regular accent like the other characters.

* WickedWastefulness: WesternAnimation/TheChristmasTree'': Mrs. Mavilda spends the money she's supposed to be using on the kids on herself, [[VillainousGlutton glutting herself on fine meals while the children starve]], and [[GamblingRuinsLives gambling the rest away]]. Worse, she actually seems to take {{sadist}}ic joy in the fact that her gambling habit deprives the kids of necessities.

** The mayor doesn't seem to have the slightest inkling that anything is amiss, and is perfectly willing to fork over large sums of cash (measured in a number of bags, no less) to Mrs. Mavilda without much question.

** The mayor doesn't seem to have the slightest inkling that anything is amiss, and is perfectly willing to fork over large sums of cash (measured in a number of bags, no less) to Mrs. Mavilda without much question. And when he finds out about her corruption, his first concern is what would happen if the inspector were to come.
