Family creates holiday magic with a stop-animation film ‘Steal the Naughty List’ 🎄🎄⛄

HOUSTON – The stop-motion holiday film ‘Steal the Naughty List’ is more than just a festive story—it’s a true family project.

Husband-and-wife team Nathan and Meleice VonMinden, alongside their children, spent four years bringing this adventurous tale to life from their transformed home studio in Mississippi. Nathan, an aerospace engineer, designed mechanical systems for the puppets, while their kids took on key roles like animation director and set designer.

This family effort is now streaming on major platforms, featuring a mix of humor, heart, and Christmas themes of forgiveness and mental health.
