Theatrical Release Information:
Ziggy's Gift

Cartoonist Tom Wilson's loveable, optimistic, funny-page favorite comes to life as never before in this hand-drawn holiday special featuring animation by Richard Williams, Eric Goldberg, and Tom Sito and featuring music by Grammy-award winning recording artists Harry Nilsson and Perry Botkin. As the holiday season kicks into full gear, not everyone is feeling Christmas cheer and Ziggy decides to do his part in spreading goodwill by playing Santa Claus to collect money for the poor. With his faithful pooch Fuzz by his side, Ziggy takes to the streets in hopes of making a difference in the lives of the less fortunate. Of course there will always be a few dishonest souls looking to take advantage of those in need, but with a little luck and a healthy dose of holiday cheer, Ziggy and his pal Fuzz will certainly find a way to keep the spirit of Christmas alive. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
