IT'S A FAZBEAR CHRISTMAS! - Five Nights at Freddy's Christmas Animation Movie

Santa Claus’ Christmas magic is running out, and Christmas day is coming closer than ever! With the help of Freddy Fazbear and his friends, will Santa be able to raise enough Christmas cheer to power his sleigh in time?
Title edit: The video wasn't getting a lot of impressions, so I condensed the title to convey the video's contents more clearly (at the expense of immersion). If the video picks up some views, I'll likely change it back eventually!
_________________________
If you’re reading this before the video premiere, I’d first like to apologise for the lateness of this upload. My original release date predictions (those being initially Christmas day, then before 2024, then within the first week of 2024) were based on my progress speed while working before Christmas. Since Christmas passed, I have experienced a severe hit to my motivation, which I was initially confident I could push through. However, the harder I worked myself, I pushed myself further into a serious artistic burnout, which impacted both the project and my mental state at the time.
When I released the trailer, my original intentions were to spend Christmas eve and day with my family and friends, before immediately picking back up work on the 26th, leaving me only two break days over the month of work I had already put into the project. As you can certainly tell by now, I ended up needing a fair amount more than those two days, and by the time I resumed work it was already the next year. After a while I realised that since the video was already late, it wasn’t going to be worth rushing it out, and I wanted to take some extra time to make sure the final product was of the quality you should expect from me. Now finally, after weeks of work, the video is here! And it’s already far too late to be remotely relevant!
Maybe just remember to come back next year…
Following this video’s production, I’ve learned an important lesson about self-expectations and, more importantly, work deadlines. Going forward, I will be better for my viewers (and I will release my videos when I promise them!)

I find it refreshing when a fanwork of FNAF actually depicts Freddy and gang as the anthropomorphic cartoon animals they're supposed to be portrayed as in-universe, and doesn't just treat the animatronics and their mascot personas as interchangeable.

That "GIVE GIFTS GIVE LIFE" minigame reference was actually very clever.

[@WhiteBearProductionsLPW]

And this special Christmas film was made by Henry Emily, as well its dedicated to his daughter, Charlotte, where she would became the Puppet.

[@goonishereva]

I love Charlie’s voice too. It almost sounds like you put a real kid to the mic to voice her, as if Henry had Charlie voice her in the movie in a sort of twisted foreshadowing of what she’d become

[@WhiteBearProductionsLPW]

@@goonishereva You see the reflection of the Puppet's face as well implies that she's seeing the whole cartoon made by his father, which is dedicated to her. And knowing that William Afton was involved on the production of the Christmas cartoon... that's messed up.

[@rockeyy6402]

one detail that got me a little was charlie's voice; while everyone else has clean and crisp voice acting, she sounds almost as if she was being followed around and asked to record lines or maybe just on a low-end microphone - a small opportunity for her to participate in her dad's work

[@shacharlem4424]

20:39 i like to think that one Christmas night at a Freddy's restaurant, when Charlotte was more sad and full of despair than usual (due to technically being alone in Christmas for the first time and being stuck in a robotic body), she stumbled to a VHS of this special, watched the special and got her spirits back up.

Man, I remember watching this when it came out when I was a kid. Glad somebody got a recording of it. Kinda was worried that this would've been lost forever after Fazbear Entertainment finally went under last year. Darn shame that my own kids won't get to experience a trip to Freddy Fazbears like I did growing up, but at least we can watch this one together.

[@pipedreamer9781]

Those pizza places, man. People don't remember how once you were dropped off, you could basically do anything you wanted there. I remember some kids would even go freely into the back rooms and vents and the store owner wasn't even mad about it. It was like a game for him to go searching for them.

Hey, has anybody else noticed that while Charlie gives each of the main four animatronics a present, when they’re driving back to the Christmas tree the van is shown to have five gifts on top? Now that is a great reference!

[@DeletedDevilDeletedAngel]

9:24 I love the added detail of "strings" that holds up the floating flashlight for stop motion animation purposes despite being digital

[@animal_gal_adventures9885]

I feel like i shouldn't be surprised it's digital but im very surprised

[@DeletedDevilDeletedAngel]

@@animal_gal_adventures9885 lol

[@trash-chan]

I just realized that Charlie giving gifts to the band was a reference to the Puppet that was so clever

[@PadLocky_v2]

And there’s five gifts on the truck when they’re leaving instead of four

[@CosmicStarVA]

Charlie randomly appearing almost gave me a heart attack (WONDERFUL ANIMATION!! Best FNaF Animation I ever seen ngl!)

[@mel-mel]

she only has 20ish seconds of screentime, but you can tell a lot of care was put into charlie's scenes. from the way her audio is in incredibly low quality and muffled, as though henry had recorded these lines himself in his home and sent them to the studio in charge of the animation instead of going with her. because of this and the ending card, you can assume that this was meant to be her surprise christmas present, which just adds to the sweetness of it all. then there's the ending, which i interpreted as the puppet's face reflecting on the black screen of whatever is playing the tape. i like to think that charlie is seeing her gift again, just to relive some memories. or maybe, because of how absurdly lengthy the process of making a stop motion can be, this was her very first time seeing it. it's all too well thought out, i love it

[@starkstruckus]

Omg Foxy flinching at the flashlight was perfect lol

[@gecko5575]

CHARLIE CAMEO AAAA it's so cute omg. I'm just imagining Henry holding little Charlie up to the microphone. This is peak fnaf content, in-universe wholesomeness. Christmas in January is real

[@theclonewars1952]

I like how this feels like an actual stop motion film (like Rudolph the red nose reindeer, nightmare before Christmas, etc) also I like the part where Charlie (the green girl) gave gifts to the animatronics which if you guys don't know, it's a reference to the give gifts minigame where the puppet gives gifts to the ghost children, you sure did a splendid job on this film. 👍👌

[@daranaqelforastero319]

If this was canon it would be a dark twist of irony...

[@Gojirawars03]

One thing I like a lot more about it is that it’s clearly not nearly as polished as something like Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s very stilted and clearly done at a low frame rate, and with pretty low audio quality to boot, implying that it was probably made on a pretty small budget. Just makes it feel even more authentic.

[@danielschultz6177]

Not gonna lie, I almost traded up at the end when I saw the Puppet’s face and the video wishing her a merry Christmas. I love the Idea that Fazbear Entertainment was originally created by Henry as a love letter to his daughter’s ideas and creativity. Also the fake “behind the scenes” and props being sold or on display was the cherry on top.

[@richmeistah]

That second Bonnie has a point. I was literally the only person in my house who wanted to put up a Christmas tree, nobody was in the Christmas spirit

The part where Charlie gave the band gifts actually kind of gave me chills and I don’t know why

​@@julisantillan6379 I find it wholesome that Henry let her daughter voice her character herself, it shows that they have a strong bond between father and daughter.

[@halfwaytherefore]

The attention to detail in this is genuinely stunning. I have a big soft spot for "in universe" fnaf works, and this fits just perfectly into something Faz. Inc would actually create

[@Poseidon4862.]

Not only could I imagine this being made in-universe, but I genuinely believe it adds an amazing touch to FNAF’s story. The whole theme of the story is about preserving magic and embracing innocence. Henry always wanted to make people happy first and foremost, and his writing here really reflects that. More poignantly, though, the shot of the puppet at the end implies Charlie might be using the tape as a reminder of her goals, to bring magic and preserve innocence by stuffing the dead children in the suits and protecting them as a leader. And for the both of them, the tape is a reminder for the love they still have for each other, a love that carries them on until the very end… Oh, and the stop motion, character design, voice acting, music, and dialogue are all great as well! Fantastic Job!!!

[@seagoulash9592]

love the attention to detail, like how afton is the producer, because he handled the financial side of things at freddy's

Im so glad there wasn't random cuts and jumpscares. This felt as peaceful as Christmas day itself. This was absolutely Amazing.

[@alexis8500]

I absolutely adore that a horror game like Five Nights At Freddy’s can lead to something as cute and whimsical as this being created and still containing in-universe lore! Like Henry and William writing and producing the film and Henry making a little special scene for Charlie! Everything about this is phenomenal! I can only imagine the insane amount of work this took but thank you for bringing us a little Christmas magic in the middle of the January blues!❤

[@leonidas9673]

When Freddy was introducing his band, I realized foxy showing up was his jumpscare from the first fnaf 15:00

[@halfwaytherefore]

This is like my 4th rewatch and my second comment but i wanted to just say all the little details i absolutely adored. May be out of order Henry being on the credit list for majority of the creative roles and such, and William only being a producer. The fact chica brought out an entire oven in the middle of the woods seems strange, but also strangely fitting. Chester's face is adorable, i love looking at him. Foxy's entire character was such a treat, and the gang sighing and saying "oh foxy" feels like an actual catchphrase the show might have. "Its not like im busy decorating or anything." The low frame rate, and then the sudden coin drop on foxy made me laugh. Foxy's different sized pupils really gives his character design more character than he already has- i think he would've been my favorite character if i had watched this as a kid! The direct advertising felt so sudden but so very fitting. All of the audio quality has a slight grit to it, giving it a realistic feel that felt very cozy. Charlie's voice was more gritted, and it gives me a vivid image of her father getting her to say her lines. It makes me almost sad. The little dings when the gifts are given. Many people are talking about the reference, but it is done so well that it makes perfect sense. The ending parts of the props being sold made me check the description again to make sure it wasn't actual stop motion. That was a lot, but this film was made with so much love i couldnt just not talk about it. Thank you so much for creating this masterpiece, and i hope everyone has a Merry Fazbear January :) i'll be celebrating with another cozy 5th watch.

The hype is real. I love the Rankin bass style.

Dude Bonnie’s voice is so nice to listen to

[@purpleghost9020]

I can’t really explain why but seeing charlie in this seriously made me wanna cry. Just something about it was so sad especially knowing what ends up happening to her

[@datorsprite]

I love the way all the characters personalities are performed, with their fitting voices and distinctive heights. This is a fitting creation, with FNAF's 10th anniversary on the horizon.

[@jacehunter25]

Wow, this was so SO worth the wait! Great job to everyone who worked on it. It feels so authentic to the older Christmas cartoons way back when.

[@funkinfunkhead]

Absolutely lovely stuff, I've always missed the feel of those stop motion films I'd see on holidays. This really ties it all up in a neat package in a way where that specific stop motion holiday film vibe was nailed so perfectly! (Even down to having a narrator character telling the story!) I'm gonna make sure to watch this again once the holidays roll around! Incredible work! Also, while i was expecting some horror. I'm actually super glad this was just a heartwarming film and still, it manages to fit in some lore/game elements with the right amount of subtlety! (Such as Foxy flinching from flashlights, Charlie giving gifts and Henry's message at the end.]

Just the first minutes of the video and there's already a smile on my face. This is phenomenal and I actually wonder how many month did it take to put this wonder together! Kudos to the creating team and good luck creating future masterpieces!

[@BonBunFilms]

just me and it only took a month and a half :) thanks for watching!

[@Hyper_Fixation]

The whole time I was braced for something spooky to occur but this was just really wholesome! Great job!

[@kermitle]

it's always nice to see fan content be portrayed as actual media that fazbear entertainment could've created. this was really cute, and incredibly well made! love to see content like this

[@aaydengamer1617]

I love how you did this. This really brings back memories of a year without a Santa Claus and Rudolph the red nose reindeer.

[@-LeonardTheTherian-]

Why did this bring me to tears a bit? I was just so happy I guess😭😭😭 yall did an absolutely *phenomenal* job! I’m so in love with this animation and I’ll think I’ll watch this every year for Christmas from now on! Thank you! ❤❤❤

[@yoshikagekira4088]

I love how at 0:02 you snuck in a timeless Bonnie Death Stare, great stuff!

[@saltygibus5746]

Oh DANG this was amazing! I loved the little references and hints at lore, the silly singing of the band--and Foxy's character was just amazing. All in all, great work!

[@joannemacpherson7645]

It’s finally here. I sadly might not be here for the premiere, but if I’m not, I will most definitely watch this afterwards! Never mind. I did get to watch the premiere, and I loved it! I think my favourite parts were the Charlotte Emily cameo, and Foxy singing "Silent Night”. I love that Henry made this film for his daughter, and had her appear in it. I think that’s adorable. I also just now understood the "Give gifts” reference too. That was brilliant. And Foxy gave the greatest finish to a Christmas song I’ve ever heard. This film was definitely worth the wait.

[@ari-dynamic]

Recently streamed this with some friends; this was a really heartwarming and cute FNAF animated movie, I genuinely loved this. ^^ I'm so used to people making FNAF horror (which I still love of course) or meme-stuff, but it's nice once in awhile to have something a bit more wholesome and relaxing involving the characters. Wonderful job! Can't go wrong with the Rankin-Bass inspired work put into this, the animation is really grand here. :3

[@Cr00kedCreation]

this could totally be confused with a real christmas short!! if i had kids i'd line it up right with the rest of them haha! i was so excited when foxy had a change of heart like i was a little kid all over again!

[@DarkxxPixie]

This is a perfect, charming piece. It is making it into my yearly Christmas rotation. The way it evokes every feeling of the classic shorts, that little bit with the illustrations that was straight out of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" came directly for my heart. The way it's clear that in-universe, Henry had his very young daughter record a line for the special is a nice nod to the Charlie Brown and Rankin Bass specials also using real children for child roles. And Foxy is a genuinely funny presence and I love him. I could literally go on forever about the ways I love this, but I'm gonna just list a bunch of my favorite details. Bonnie's whiskers! The tree's eyebrows! Foxy and the flashlight! The expressiveness of the final caroling scene!

[@BonBunFilms]

Thank you for your kind words! I am so happy you appreciated all the little details 🎄

[@Santagmk0]

I love the concept of fnaf being a light hearted series, just like it is intended to be in universe, also I absolutely adore the animation here you really outdid yourself, I’d definitely watch this if it was a Christmas special on tv

[@laurellie4430]

Oh my god!! I remember watching this as a kid!! My mom had the VHS tape and she’d play it on Christmas Eve. Back then, I thought it was pretty stupid, but. Looking at it now, I really miss those days. Going to Freddy’s and running around, playing video games, dancing with the mascots. William Afton and Henry Emily must be so proud of what they created, and how much joy they brought people.

[@R_asher4677]

This is actually so amazing, I’ve found myself a new Christmas tradition to watch every year now.

[@Mr.ChrisSchneider101]

This was a pretty relaxing Christmas special. Really well made models as well. Also Foxy saying "WHAT?!" at 12:55 is so funny to me for some reason.

[@BIGBOYGAMING03]

I like how vaguely eerie the part where charlie gives them presents.

[@GhostyGhost001]

Not only is this going to be something I watch every December, but this might just be my favorite FNaF animation ever! This- Yes. My childhood, I swear. Funnily enough, this hits pretty close to home for me as FNaF saved one of my Christmases one year. I was in a low place that year, and gameplay of it made it better. Ever since then, Freddy and his friends have been close to my heart. This video made my heart happy. ☺️ ♥️

[@jackbot43]

How does this not have more views??? This is incredible dude! I didn’t even realize this was made in blender till I read the description after the video ended. Amazing job, keep it up bro.
