A Gift of Gold
Story by Tom Minton Written by Nicholas Hollander Directed by Michael Gerard
Animation by Akom Film Production
Synopsis
A heartwarming tale about a gold wrapping paper. Contains cameos by Mindy , Buttons , and Mindy's Father .
Trivia
The man who spits gum into the gold wrapping paper is wearing a shirt with the words "Local 839" on it. This is the animators union. Also amazingly, the episode number is 406-839 . This is referenced in the "Please Please Please Get a Life Foundation " cartoon.
The homeless man at the end of the cartoon is the same man from the Chuck Jones cartoon One Froggy Evening .
In the Animaniacs "Helloooo Holidays" VHS release, the dialogue was redubbed so that Mindy's Father and the homeless man give their children Christmas presents instead of birthday presents with the wrapping paper.
Written by Earl Kress Directed by Alfred Gimeno and Dave Marshall
Animation by Wang
Synopsis
Dot attempts to find someplace quiet where she can read her book.
Trivia
The Scotsman playing the bagpipes is MacRory from the Bugs Bunny cartoon My Bunny Lies Over the Sea .
Even though this is the only cartoon in the episode without any references to the color gold, the theme of the cartoon, as well as the song accompanying it, is "golden silence".
