Has it already been ten years?!
Ten
years ago, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, two film students from the
University of Colorado, were commissioned to make an animated short
that would be used as a video Christmas card to be sent to various
Hollywood types. Parker and Stone used contruction paper and
stop-motion animation techniques to create the now-legendary The Spirit of Christmas [6.8MB, QuickTime – lots of swearing, and offence-a-licious] featuring the kids who’d eventually get their own show, South Park, Jesus and Santa fighting over Christmas and Brian Boitano, who saves the day.
