This is a childrens christmas film about believing in Father Christmas. It is moderately badly 3D modelled but I believe that Tom Hanks is the voice of the controller. That is about the best that can be said for the film. There is very little adult humour (despite the promises from the film reveiws I read)

Good as a kids film and moderately touching at the end. I would rate

Apparently the facial expressions were all motion captured from the voice actors themselves (yes, it was Mr. Hanks), but some reviews say it makes them look a bit creepy...and again, I'm commenting on a film I haven't seen. Doh.

My considered view of this film is that it's ok- but a childs film !! Wouldn't totally object to watching it with a child - but wouldn't choose to watch it on my own !!
