Christmas in Tattertown was the name of a 1988 television special created and directed by Ralph Bakshi about a place where everything discarded in the world came alive.

Contents

Animator Ralph Bakshi originated the idea for Tattertown in high school where it was originally a comic strip called Junk Town. The strip made light of the human condition by showing value of things we throw away. [1]

Bakshi worked with Nickelodeon to bring his strip to life as a regular television series. In 1988 they commissioned him to create a pilot for the series. It aired on December 21, 1988 during the network's Nick At Nite block of programming.

Originally the series was to be picked up in 1989 for 39 episodes, but the project was abandoned for unknown reasons. Nickelodeon renamed the pilot Christmas in Tattertown and aired it annually as a special until 1992. Bakshi has retained rights to the pilot and it has never been released on video or DVD.

  • Debbie: Human girl that finds herself in Tattertown.
  • Muffet: Based on public domain children's character Little Miss Muffet.
  • Sidney the Spider: Voiced by Charles Adler.
