Gather your loved ones around the xmas tree, stuff those stockings with care, and day dream about sugar plums and how cool this episode is going to be.
Consider it our gift to you.

In the Struggle, we follow a poor guy who gets knocked around by life. Like Rocky, if he was Jerry Lewis. In Dougal and the Rat, we meet a mouse that would make Mickey Mouse hang his head in shame and cancer. Watch out Dramatic Chipmunk, Suicycle has Romantic Squirrels! Ectype’s End shows us more robots in love than C3PO & R2D2!!!

Merry Christmas to all of you from your pals from Channel Frederator.
