Holiday Mix-Up

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2014)

Highly imaginative film tells the story of Pumpkin King Jack Skellington, who is the star of Halloweentown, where all sorts of scary monsters and bizarre characters live. Trouble starts when Jack finds himself getting bored with the routine of the Halloween celebrations, and after stumbling upon Christmastown, which is unlike anything he has ever seen before, decides to kidnap "Sandy Claws" and take his place that Christmas, only the toys he'll be delivering will be anything but merry... Though it may take time to warm up to, since most of the characters are quite(purposely) grotesque, once this story gets going it becomes most entertaining and surprising, though of course there is more Halloween here than Christmas...
