'''''The Night Before Christmas''''' is a 1994 AnimatedMusical made by Creator/GoldenFilms.
The film is a ChristmasSpecial that tells the story of an kind hearted orphan named Jeffrey who longs for a family. Trying to survive on the icy streets, he manages to find work and a place to stay at a toy factory owned by the miserly Mr. Reeks who pays his workers in potatoes. From then on, every night Jeffrey takes the broken toys from the factory skips and repairs them for the children living in a nearby orphanage. His kindness catches the attention of one of the factory's resident mice, who vows to help Jeffrey find a home.

* AnimatedAdaptation: The film is loosely based on the famous poem ''Literature/TwasTheNightBeforeChristmas''.
* AnimatedMusical
* ChristmasSpecial: One of several in [[Creator/GoldenFilms Golden Films']] library.

* HeartwarmingOrphan: Jeffrey is an orphan and a very good, kind person.
