Pipi e o Spunk
Ao pequeno-almoço, Pipi das Meias Altas inventa uma nova palavra: "spunk". Agora dava jeito saber o seu significado. Podia ser um animal perigoso, e por isso trata de construir uma armadilha para “spunks”. Depois, com a ajuda de Tommy e Annika, começa à procura do desconhecido. As crianças não encontram qualquer pista, nem na loja de doces nem na loja de ferramentas. Mas Pipi recusa-se a regressar a casa sem um “spunk”. Subitamente, pensa ter encontrado a solução para o enigma: o “spunk” é uma doença que acabou de contrair.

Scrooge
Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grind-stone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dog-days; and didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas.

Kalle Anka
"Kalle Anka, for short, has been airing without commercial interruption at the same time on Sweden's main public-television channel, TV1, on Christmas Eve (when Swedes traditionally celebrate the holiday) since 1959. The show consists of Jiminy Cricket presenting about a dozen Disney cartoons from the '30s, '40s, '50s, and '60s, only a couple of which have anything to do with Christmas. There are "Silly Symphonies" shorts and clips from films like Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and The Jungle Book. The special is pretty much the same every year, except for the live introduction by a host (who plays the role of Walt Disney from the original Walt Disney Presents series) and the annual addition of one new snippet from the latest Disney-produced movie, which TV1's parent network, SVT, is contractually obligated by Disney to air".

Judex
"La historia de un hombre que amenaza a un banquero para que le devuelva el dinero a todos aquellos a quien ha estafado. Apareciendo en ‘el baile’ de máscaras de la burguesía francesa con esta cabeza de pájaro que bien podría compararse con el antifaz de los superhéroes contemporáneos, pero más surrealista, más mágico aún..."
