Video / Music The Ocean Floor Wishes You a Merry Christmas
Posted by Ned Lannamann on Fri, Dec 21, 2012 at 3:28 PM
The Ocean Floor—who we profiled in a recent issue—came up with a Christmas song and video for your holiday. It's a cover of "Toyland," from Victor Herbert's operetta Babes in Toyland, although you might remember the treacly 1961 movie starring Annette Funicello. There's a surreal but charming video to go along with it courtesy of animator Kurtis Hough, and it's a warm, nostalgic, buttery bit of Christmas cheer.
