Really Bad, But Interesting Time Capsule and Funny If Rifftrax Version

This is a really bad "kiddie" film. It has a TV show clown doing a Christmas special. I watched this as part of a Rifftrax parody where they comment on the film as it plays. It's on Amazon Prime as of Christmas 2019. The short ahead of this, called The Christmas Tree, is much better in that it is really unintentionally funny and a "what were they thinking" type of film depicting Christmas trees as having human personalities all the way up to the trash day where they go to heaven, think about showing that to a little kid, lol. This Wizzo film is really lame but what it has going for it is some shots of mid 1960s America and some really nice Christmas store displays. The film quality is very very clean especially for being a "lost" film before. I grew up in NYC so I was a big Bozo the Clown fan and I'm biased but a clown named Wizzo with big bare feet shoes is pretty creepy even compared to Bozo. 4 out of 10, 8 out of 10 as shown on Rifftrax with The Christmas Tree short.

The fantasy genre features imaginative and often magical worlds, characters, and events. It explores realms beyond the boundaries of reality, featuring elements such as magic, mythical creatures, supernatural powers, and fantastical settings. These stories can take place in entirely fictional worlds or blend fantastical elements with real-world settings.

Whizzo the clown takes a bunch of kids on a magic carpet ride to the North Pole to see Santa Claus, but not before the kids (members of the Johnny Miller Dance Studio) perform as circus animals in "Whizzoland."
