Santa's Workshop is a traditional seasonal animated film that upholds established cultural norms and folklore. The narrative structure supports conventional, homogeneous depictions of classic Western myths. The film lacks complexity, focusing on reinforcing existing social and cultural norms from the early 1930s without challenging them. Ultimately, the work reinforces existing social and cultural structures of the time rather than providing diverse or subversive perspectives.
