| Christmas In Tattertown | comment |
A Christmas special created and directed by Ralph Bakshi which aired on Nickelodeon in 1988. It's loosely based on a comic strip Bakshi had created in his youth called "Junktown" and was originally the pilot to a series that never materialized.A girl named Debbie finds a strange book, which sucks her, her Little Miss Muffet doll, and Dog, her stuffed dog, into the realm of Tattertown, where discarded items—including Muffet and Dog—come to life.While Dog remains loyal to Debbie, Muffet, who has long felt oppressed by the wear and tear of being a toy, runs away. Muffet eludes Debbie and, calling herself Muffet the Merciless, makes up her mind to conquer Tattertown, with the aid of Sidney the Spider, who had attempted to take over Tattertown before. Sidney takes Muffet to the "Deadster Zone", located outside of Tattertown and inhabited by the unsavory rejected items (such as war toys). Muffet recruits these inhabitants as goons into her army.Meanwhile, Debbie decides to introduce the concept of Christmas to Tattertown. But unknown to her, Muffet, disguised as Santa Claus, is planning an air raid. | |

Falling into Jail | |
| Christmas In Tattertown / int_1bdf123c | comment |
Falling into Jail: During the air raid, Debbie decides to make one last effort to show the residents of Tattertown what Christmas is. She finds an old phonograph and plays Bing Crosby's rendition of "White Christmas" on it. Sidney stops flying in mid-air to listen, sending Muffet, who's riding on his back, crashing into the town jail. | |

| Christmas In Tattertown / int_24321e44 | comment |
Only Sane Man: Muffet can't stand the wacky antics of the citizens of Tattertown. Downplayed with Debbie. While there are times when Tattertown's wackiness can get on her nerves, Debbie has more tolerance than Muffet. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
| Christmas In Tattertown / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: Muffet dons a Santa suit, but it's obvious who she is, especially with her blonde ringlets sticking out from under the hat. Sidney's disguise is hardly better: it consists only of a few bells and a reindeer-antler headband. | |
