These two videos were popular on the interewebs today.

The first video is a Christmas commercial and the second shows how it was made.  I actually like the second video more as I found it equally touching but more fascinating, especially how they blended the old technique of hand drawn animation, stop motion, and set design and blended it with modern technology. Laser cutting is so cool, I need one of those machines.  I think this video is certainly worth two-and-a-half minutes of your day.
