Ratings and reviews

If you love holiday movies, you will enjoy this movie. If you like "who-am-I-really" stories, you will like this movie. If you're a fan of giant Australian rabbits and caffeinated hummingbirds...well, you get the idea. The animation in this movie is simply beautiful, one of the best uses of the medium I've ever seen. Every character is distinct and vibrant, and the camera never gets too close to see what's going on. The story is a fun look at the concept of a holiday - I was reminded of Terry Pratchett's "Hogfather" in some respects - and Jude Law plays a heck of a villain as Pitch. Definitely give this one a watch.

This movie has a good twist of what the original characters are in a certain movie. They give us the reason to learn the importance of childhood, to preserve the innocence of the child, and learn to enjoy life with a spark of child's innocence. What really struck me in this movie are how each character play their part and the choice of words and how they deliver it is simply perfect! For children, they really don't know what is really fun when they see this movie, its not the technology that we surrounded by, but how we have fun with each other's company is the most enjoyable part we are going to impart in our memories when we grow old. May this movie inspire us to savor every moment we have to our family and friends as we live each day!

I think that this movie is the best and I love jack frost, the vision of his previous life was my favorite part :P. And I often put myself in the movie when I watch it. And pitch made me think of something, you're not afraid of the dark...you're afraid of what's in it.
