You Thought They Didn't Make This Kind of Movie Anymore...

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2002)

Ignore what others may say -- this is a worthy successor to the Rankin-Bass puppet-animated holiday classics of your childhood, merged with the darkly whimsical sensibilities of Tim Burton and Danny Elfman. Everything about it is charming, from the character design to the lovely and haunting tunes (it's an animated musical about two great holidays -- Hallowe'en and Christmas). Run, don't walk, to your video store to rent it!
