Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was produced by Intel as a promotional tool to get families comfortable with home computers—yes, really, this is corporate propaganda wearing an elf hat.

Cultural

The '97 CGI aesthetic here is a perfect time capsule of when everyone thought 3D was the future and nobody cared if it looked good. The reindeers look like they're in pain. They know.
