Santa is so nasty and non-understanding

Really? Just Santa? There were so many jerks in this movie that I'm surprised they didn't just call it "The Un-Merry Douchebag Christmas Special".
The more people I meet, the more I get why Jane Goodall spends all of her time with chimps.. -

I don't see it that way at all. I'm afraid it's just because times have unfortunately changed for the worst. And no, not all the characters were jerks. To me anyways. You can think that way if you want, but keep it to yourself.

Exactly. That's like a bully picking on the brainy kid until he finds out that she can help him with his homework. This special is just full of wonderful lessons for children!

I've always loved this special, but when I saw it as a kid, I didn't put too much thought into the fact that most of the adult characters were cranky and selfish and thoughtless because I pretty much thought most adults were like that anyway, the rare exception being somebody like Yukon Cornelius, and I hate to say it, but these days I kind of feel as though I was right. I know it's probably not the message they wanted to put across, but I remember as a kid watching this and getting the idea reinforced to me that when the chips are down, there are only going to be just a very few select people you'll be able to count on to stand by you, if you're lucky.
