The Horrifying Christmas Light (Littlest Light on the Christmas Tree) - Phelous

[@johnroche]

I can't believe they made a movie about a Christmas decoration and didn't even give it a happiness.

I admire Girthmore's body confidence. The man has girth to spare, and he owns it.

@KorenLesthe girth Is good

[@quintinbrakebill8875]

“Christmas has become Girthmore’s favorite time of the year” so was this implying that Girthmore hated Christmas before all this? He seemed pretty excited about it already because he knew Christmas is a money making holiday and would exploit the shopping season in order to increase his profit.

[@liamdude5722]

And that littlest light grew up to be the lamp from Amityville 4.

yeah Mr.Girthmore really doesn't look like a villian here... he looks like a business man... it is really hard for small businesses to compete with big ones. I can understand if Girthmore laments that he can't have the dolls mass produced as much as I understand how hard it is for a crafter to make these dolls by hand by herself.

Plus Handmade dolls are very expensive. It was unlikely that a family would have been able to afford more than maybe a single one for Christmas. Mass Production did a lot more than just "Greedy people going to be greedy". Even the "Poor children" could get a toy chest.

[@jacksparrowismydaddy]

@@Nionivek I think if Mr. Girthmore really wanted them mass produced he could strike a deal to help fund the mom including taking on apprentices to make more. it would help him and her. it sorta reminds me of the colorful weird creatures that are famous in mexican culture... one man started making them after a fever dream then the whole town liked them so much they picked it up to now its part of the towns economy. it would make sense that the dolls could work like that and become the nationwide chain mr.Girthmore is hoping to be. except instead of just him prospering so many others could too.

[@countesschewi2399]

I'll be honest, I appreciate the effort Girthmore's voice actor put into his performance - he is definitely the most entertaining part of this 'movie'.

[@gracestarkes2644]

Agreed!

[@gracekim1998]

yeah him yelling 'Girth!' has to be my fave moment XD

[@DoraemonFan-ww3jm]

My favorite part of the "movie" is Little Light's voice. His design may be creepy but his singing voice is good. The other voice actors are OK too.

You can easily tell that the makers of this movie have never in their life attempted to purchase a high quality handmade doll or toy, especially unique ones (After all they did say "one of a kind") made by a professional. To put it in perspective the Firefighter Barbie is about $25 bucks and is one of the more expensive (Non-super marked up collectable) Barbies. Unique high quality professionally handmade dolls start at about $100.
