Overview


Star Kringle is the tenth installment of the HTF Kringles.

Plot

The Kringle begins with Cuddles, Giggles, and Toothy decorating a Christmas tree for the upcoming holiday. Cuddles is about to finish it off by placing the star on top. Unfortunately, the decoration slips from Cuddles' hand and falls on top of Toothy, impaling his head. Toothy lets off a death rattle before falling down, dead.

Message

"Make it a point to have a Merry Christmas!"

Deaths

  1. Cuddles accidentally drops the star shaped decoration on top of Toothy's head, impaling his brain.

Goofs

  1. At the beginning of the episode, the characters are animated with their early season designs, but when Toothy dies, he switches to his TV series design.
  2. When Cuddles, Giggles, and Toothy cheer in the beginning, their mouths do not move.
  3. When Cuddles drops the star on Toothy, there is a loud shattering noise, like the star just broke. However, when the scene cuts to Toothy, the star is completely intact with no signs of damage.
  4. When Toothy screams, he has normal buckteeth instead of his huge teeth.

Trivia

  • The beginning of this short is used as the beginning scene in Winter Break. The part of the Kringle in which Toothy dies was added when the short was released seperately. This explains why Toothy's death is drawn in the post-TV series style while the rest of the short uses the characters' pre-TV series design.
    • Another significant difference is that in this short, Cuddles drops a star, but in Winter Break, he drops an ornament.
  • "Joy to the World" can be heard throughout this short, but at a slower pace and tone.
  • This is the final Kringle.
