Dating to the 1920s, this silent, tinted film "Twas the Night Before Christmas" from Cine Art productions was inspired by Clement C. Moore's famous poem. Unfortunately the film lacks production credits and a release date, but judging from the format it is probably from the late 1920s or early 1930s. The film includes both live action and animated segments, including cartoons depicting Santa's reindeer and sleigh.

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
