nice

nice animation, lovely characters, a plot not really new but , in same measure, not bad. a holiday animation, perfect for Christmas season, a little too complicated for children, not a revelation for adults, mixture not always decent by music and past travels but nice. as lesson about possibilities of a poor character, for adventures, for the nuances to old ingredients and for the fresh atmosphere who makes all a little different by well known movies about theme. Vera Bannington can be a version of Cruela and Neville Baddington another Captain Hook but the adorable Bernard and his fundamental change, the Santa who has virtue to not be only a classical image , the voices - Tim Curry is important part from long chain of convincing bad guy in animation remembering George Sanders as Shere Khan - makes this film nice and almost convincing pillar for the spirit of an unique event of year.

If you're desperate for an animated Christmas thing it's about OK.

Likeable festive fun that seems to be targeting the kids without really caring about the more discerning adults.The character animation is vibrant and well designed even if it is rendered rather poorly, often looking more like a PS2 cut scene.But it was still an interesting time travel based narrative that feels like it would have been better used as a double length episode of some TV show.The memorable aspect is a recurring song that, in each retread of the same moment in time, adds a new voice to it.I guess it's fine if you want to keep your prepubescents quite but you could do so much better. I would recommend any of the great non-festive family animated movies over this but if you really want something Noelesque I'd suggest "Get Santa" a delightful if imperfect Christmas romp.
