Mason Court

This film really was just meh in my opinion. The acting, casting, music, and effects were good, but I couldn't get invested in the story or any of the newer characters. And though the effects were good I couldn't help but feel they were actually somewhat of a downgrade from the first. The first had very limited cgi but it at least embraced that and as a result was a very stylized film. The cgi here, though definitely an upgrade and easier to look at, ended up feeling a bit more generic, and in general a lot of things in this film felt generic. I didn't find too many of the newer characters very appealing or interesting, and the overall pacing of the film was kinda weird. That said, the one thing I will absolutely give this film credit for is the music. Daft Punk did a fantastic job and I will absolutely commend them for that. Other than that this film is less than stellar in my eyes, I hope they do better with the third one.

I saw some genuinely ridiculous reviews and thought it'd be nice for me to leave a nice review! I love this film, I grew up on it pretty much. I actually remember watching this when it wasn't even close to Christmas. I watched it a lot lol, this and Frosty the Snowman. This film has some great music and the animation and character designs are very cute! If you're looking for something to watch during the holidays I highly recommend this one! Very cute and a classic. Also, crazy to think that the studio that created this would later go on to become Studio Ghibli, I'm not kidding! Edit: My bad! Although Rankin/Bass did work with Topcraft (Studio Ghibli) this was actually animated by MOM Productions, still cool to think though that Topcraft, who animated such holiday classics, would go on to make some anime classics!

The voice acting and cutscenes are awful admittedly. But if you're able to look past all that there's some pretty solid gameplay and a neat little story. There are some flaws to the gameplay too, but I'm seriously willing to look past that and just say this game is wonderful. Currently this has to be one of my favorites and I'm really looking forward to playing the sequel.

I REALLY want a sequel, like dang
