An animated ensemble film about the residents of a small town experiencing their individual ups and downs. Most of the stories feel like vignettes that don't interconnect, so it lacks an altogether cohesive structure, while Santa (featured front and center in the advertising) merely narrates and hardly gets involved. This movie takes its damn time and meanders about, by which point I had already checked out. Normally, I'm able to give saccharinity a pass during Christmas, but this was just plain grating and corny. It had its opposite intended effect and put me in a bad mood.
