The Soulmates in The Gift of Light
Manage episode 387531460 series 1931255
🎄 It’s 1991, and Santa Claus is fighting with a talking dog over a park bench.
By some Christmas miracle, this obscure special was rediscovered over 30 years later. For years, people on the Internet tried to identify it on a TV in the background of an old family photo, until finally, thanks to the power of positivity, it was identified as “The Soulmates in The Gift of Light.” Join us as we meet the intergalactic Soulmates in what seems like a pilot that never got off the ground.
