The Christmas Light - Phelous

[@erickpoorbaugh6728]

Yeah, there's a reason why VeggieTales chose to use vegetables and even Pixar, who actually had a good budget, started off with plastic toys and took a long time to work their way up to human protagonists. Early CGI had a lot of limitations, so you had to work with what the technology could do instead of just writing whatever you wanted and not caring whether the animation would work.

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

Very true ❤

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

The hilariously horrifically thing is if you look at the sequel to this, the animation actually got WORSE. For some reason in the sequel the frame rate is a lot slower, thee characters don't even have walking animation as most of the time is spent standing in place and the whole thing looks like it was a transfer of a transfer of itself.

The idea of one of Santa's elves having a super villain origin and Santa having to track him down and kill him in the Blackbird seems like it could be good if told by people who knew what the hell they're doing.

[@TheVanishing87]

I think Regular Show's first Christmas special did that. One of Santa's elves had gone rogue and Santa got the Park guys to help track him down. It was a pretty cool special.

[@BATCHARRO]

We're gonna have to cope with all the influences Christmas Light/Brigade had on Regular Show someday.

[@shwahgamer]

There's a movie called Elliot the Littlest Reindeer where the villain was Santa's chief engineer elf. But his plan was really dumb. Basically, he wanted to convince Santa to switch to his new rocket sleds. To do this, he set up and manipulated the reindeer to keep quitting over allegedly personal business, and spread lies about reindeer being useless, unreliable jerks. It's better than this movie by a lot but still not that great.

[@limalepakko6074]

Nah I don't think these movies need a gritty remake

[@jester8379]

Despite all the movie's obvious faults, I do quite like The Snowman's design for whatever reason. It's the one time they used the simplistic animation to their advantage, sure his floating head form is a little goofy but it just gives you this video game final boss feel. If his expressions were more robust he could be a perfectly fine looking villain design.

@@handsomebrick Oh, that's neat! I knew that one too but I never wanted to record over a pre-recorded tape so I never tried. We only had LP when we were kids, EP was something I only learned about much later, but then we did get such a device (a Panasonic, have it to this day) and it was very useful.

I am a Gen Z guy, and I'm proud of it, but I also have plenty of knowledge on VHS modes, quirks and tapes. Having to rewind the tape, EP, SP, and LP. Learned the latter from this review!

Snowden was a much better villainous snowman that that GCI crap that makes even Foodfight look good. All we need now is some ELF BOWLING.

Wait, if Santa is at the North Pole then shouldn't he be equipped to handle a blizzard? The snowman's plan is even dumber than it seemed initially

[@Belicure]

I even came up with better lyrics for the snowman myself. "Ain't no way! I'm here to stay! I'll never sway no matter what you say!" nothing incredible but still

"and you'll rue the day that you had your way with me"

I think the reason the actors did nothing else is because the movie was all voiced by text to speech. The Christmas Light, starring Microsoft Sam as Santa.

Why is it that people seem to ignore when machines do clearly impossible things far greater in possibility than its previous use? The guy made a machine that can turn people into a snowman capable of creating world spanning snowstorms. So in theory one could use it to create rainfall to fight droughts... Or is it limited to only making things evil?
