Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town is an upcoming 2017 animated Christmas Special. It is a remake of the 1970 Rankin/Bass special of the same name and is dedicated to the late Mickey Rooney, who voiced the title character in the original special.

Differences between this and the original special

 * The Winter Warlock {voiced by Mark Hamil} is the principal antagonist and the driving force behind Somber Town's misery. Jessica{voiced by Grey Griffin}, the eventual Mrs. Claus, is his daughter and the one who teaches Kris magic.
 * Rather than a foundling adopted by the Kringle elves, Kris is a true elf whose mother, Tanta Kringle, was forced to abandon in order to prevent the Winter Warlock from finding him. Kris is raised in Somber Town and uses his elven toy making skills to bring joy to those around him.
 * The story is told to the Audience by Kris himself rather than a mail man.
