A nice surprise from Sky Cinema

Fun concept which didn't land well

As a lover of 'off beat' Christmas movies (think ''The Nightmare Before Christmas', or Terry Pratchett's Hogsfather) I really looked forward to watching 'The Night before Christmas in Wonderland'!Sadly while watching it I ended up thinking ''Meh."I found the music tiring to listen to, with nothing really clever in the lyrics (no, I don't expect Shakespeare in a Christmas film!). Combining these predictable lyrics with the uninspired musical scores, all I wanted to do was fast forward till the songs were over.The colours used to create scenes were beautiful, and many of the static scenes were lovely to look at. And trying to make the animation look painfully hand created is difficult to do, yet the creators did a good job in meeting that goal. But somehow I couldn't help but think that, in the end, the actual 'movement' of the characters in the film looked just too 'basic', or static - which detracted from the vivid imagery.I really wanted to like this film! Unfortunately, in the end it just felt flat and uninspired. Certainly not repeatable to look at next year, or any year after that when the Christmas season rolls around again.

interesting idea but too long

It is a mashup of Christmas Santa and Alice in Wonderland. St. Nick (Gerard Butler) reads a delayed letter from The Princess of Hearts. He goes to Wonderland and finds The Queen of Hearts (Emilia Clarke) had outlawed Christmas.It is an expired IP. Somebody thought it would cost nothing. This works better if it doesn't play its hand right off the bat. I wouldn't have guessed from the title that this is Alice in Wonderland. The reveal could be a fun shock to the viewer. Also there is only so much rhyming before it gets tiresome. I get the dialogue style and musical. It's not my favorite. I actually like the simple animation style which is a lot like children's book drawings. The big reveal should come closer to the climax. The climax should be the gift which should quickly lead to the lesson and wrap up. The last half takes too long. In fact, this is not really worth seventy minutes. It should probably be half that which would allow it to be played every year as a Christmas special.
