A horror movie where a child dares to question the existence of Santa and is consequently driven to madness. As lighthearted as Orwell's 1984.

Plastic-like CGI characters and gigantic icy sets gave this film a very sinister feel. Very unengaging and trite story too.

The one thing that always bothered me about this movie, and about every other movie this studio came out with afterwords ("Christmas Carol", "Monster House", "Mars Needs Moms") is how deep into the "Uncanny Valley" all of the animated characters go, where all the children look like moving wax-figures with dead, dead eyes... creeps me out.
