I remember seeing this movie for the first time in theatres and getting shivers down my spine as the 3D snow fell on the screen and all around me. This is one of those magical movies that makes you feel like a kid again. The motion capture technology is creepy enough to make it feel hyper-real (in a way that couldn't be duplicated with Beowulf or A Christmas Carol 3D), dark and dreamy; Tom Hanks is utilized to the max in 6 distinct roles (including the kid), which is also pretty creepy when you think about it. Repeated viewings of this film were not successful in replicating that wonderful feeling I felt while watching this for the first time (and hearing that beautiful Edward Scissorhands-ian score), but it still earns a solid:4 slim Santas out of 5

Liv Tyler is an elf in Lord of the Rings Steven Tyler is en elf in here.
I'd give it a 3.
While the animation is kinda off putting there's just a feeling that's even off-er here.
