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.

The characters also have Jon Arbuckle eyes so im kinda scared this is Garfield Universe.

[@dnmstarsi]

Honestly, it makes me wish Garfield was in this. I would love to see his (and Jon's) reaction to this nightmare.

20:32 apparently Burton is actually Andross. they never should of used the Super FX chip to create this Christmas special.

Santa's prison is like something out of a manga. We got sociopathic genius Isaac building rocket sleds. His arch nemesis built a machine to outdo him, but that turned him into a sentient snowman. They get their powers from the nebulous "Christmas Light" that one of them wants to destroy. They get the female sidekick who acts as the moral compass. We just need Riki-Oh to show up playing his grass flute and it could be the Riki-Oh: Christmas Special.

I’m sorry but that scream at 9:25 is just priceless 🤣

[@tovarischkrasnyjeshi]

The "Chistmas light is inside you" part the girl sings sounded a bit like the Life Day or Hope Day or whatever song Leia sang in the Star Wars Christmas Special. Or else I'm losing it.

A Red Letter Media Classic. :)

"You'll rue the day that you had your way with me!!" this is a kids movie, right?

[@widdershins3785]

Sometimes, I say to myself, that I miss the days that Phelous reviewed horror movies. Then I remember, he still does. ....you would think a "Childrens' Animation" wouldn't require a gory, opening kill to move the plot along...

[@lucianite0]

I love that this review is longer than the movie in its entirety.

[@Nionivek]

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?

14:44 made me flash back to Dinosaur Adventure. "After all, it's the first Eggbert a dino's ever laid! The rest were all brought in by the storks. (Ha ha ha ha!) That's what you think." I don't believe it, but we can now finally say that Dingo Pictures is actually *better at sarcasm* than these guys.

[@dumontpictures7303]

I had a copy of this movie once upon a time, and have to say despite it's issues, this movie was always a guilty pleasure of mine. I don't why I just really love this movie. Better than it's sequel.

[@ghoulbeanzz312]

18:37 I AM SINISTAR! RUN! RUN COWARDS!

[@phelous]

I had a thought of referencing that but I couldn't remember the name, heh.

[@scottylewis8124]

Never! Mention! Sinistar!

[@TheAdorkableRJ]

This special might have been worth seeing if the frozen Burton had shattered into bloody chunklets like Leo.

[@Alex-yj6ju]

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought Andross when they showed the snowman head
