Rating: 5.0
Quite Simply...A Masterpiece
This is the 3-D animated Christmas show that all 3-D animated Christmas shows will be compared to.This isn't just your typical light fanciful yarn, but a visceral journey into the very heart of what makes us all human.I laughed out loud,I cried(like a baby with a tooth ache)and I bit my finger nails to the quick, as this epic story of manequins,dancing rats,and gleeful fruit weaved their magic into my heart! A really good video will leave you thinking about it hours after you've seen it, with the Nutcracker I couldn't stop thinking of it for days...The haunting splendour of Uncle Drosslemeirers bedroom, or the evil coldness of the rats cheese mines have still not left my dreams. Not since the "One Day at a Time" Christmas special have I been so taken with a holliday show!This ranks right up there with some of the greats...The Barbara Feldon Xmas Hour, A Very Brady Christmas,The Good Times Christmas show (3rd season) and Claude Aikens Christmas Time in New Mexico.
