1!!She believes in Santa now?
2* During the song The Best Kid in the World, Nicole tells how Santa will see just how good she thinks she is. I thought she said that she didn't believe in Santa?
3** Maybe she's a closet Santa believer?
4!!Great-Grandma's language?
5* Why does Ricky's Great-Grandmother speak in English half the time while the other half is nonsensical gibberish?
6** [[https://web.archive.org/web/20161225165301/https://thenewpropaganda.tumblr.com/post/145891729831/i-told-the-story-of-the-production-of-rapsittie According to the daughter of one of the producers, Ricky's Great-Grandma was supposed to be saying actual words.]]
7*** That was proven untrue per Debra Wilson, [[https://www.polygon.com/2020/12/24/22196527/rapsittie-street-kids-believe-in-santa-cast-crew-making-of who confirmed that it was written and recorded like that.]]
8** [[https://youtu.be/soqqlPIQ6kM?t=20m Maybe she's saying words backwards.]]
9!!Direct to TV?
10* Why was this aired on national television? THAT'S the million dollar question.
11** Because in those days, WB would air ANYTHING as long as they could find advertisers.
12!!The Voice Acting
13* How did they get A-list voice actors for this, and why did they agree to do this?
14** Three words: paycheck, paycheck, paycheck.
15** As Website/PlatypusComix explained in their [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/darkvault/misfits/misfit60.html article on the special]], the voice acting is one of the first things done in a typical North American cartoon. When the actors were hired, the script and the concept art were the only things done by that point; they couldn't know the [[DerangedAnimation animation]] would turn out the way it did. Both script and art weren't that great, though, so it's still likely they were [[MoneyDearBoy only in it for the money]].
16!!How did this movie come to be?
17* My biggest question is who came up with this idea in the first place. Honestly, there was actual potential here for something great. The cast and animators were all very experienced. So, what in the hell happened?
18!!Unseasonal clothing
19* Why in the hell is Nicole wearing a midriff baring outfit while it’s SNOWING?!
20** For the same reason JRPG characters wear bare midriffs while it's snowing, I guess.
21** Because this was set in 2002. Trust me, this was ''super'' common at the time - the idea was that people would put on coats when it was cold.
22!!Teddy out of place?
