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.

Pretty good. Better than I thought. Nice to see movies about stuff I believed in as a kid. A lot of that is missing from today's youth and society. I was so bunged I couldn't find in movies about the EASTER BUNNY this past EASTER! I found one from 1977 on YouTube about the EASTER BUNNY beginnings. Me and my two year old watched it. Was great to sing the songs with her and remember...

This movie is a wonderful reminder for everyone of what keeps us lit in our darkness. Wether it be a child or an adult a little hope (easter) & wonder (christmas) brings us to dream (sandman) & remember (toothfairy) the good times that have impacted us. No matter how much fear (boogeyman) there is around us or in us, its not worth throwing the belief that someone has in you away. Nor the belief you have in yourself, but dont forget to have a fun (jack) on your journey forward. ;)
