Have you ever heard of the "uncanny valley"? That's what you call it when something looks enough like a real person - but still off in some indefinable, disturbing way - that it completely freaks you out. It's why the movie Shrek makes your girlfriend wake up screaming. Well, that's kind of what the people in this cartoon are like, and the animals aren't much better. Oh, and the story sucks, too. Basically, one of Santa's elves fairies decides to be Lucifer to his Yehweh, so this little mouse who overheard his evil plan tracks down the Fairy Queen (who, for some reason, doesn't have any legs) and she puts a stop to it. Not that the evil fairy was anything but hopeless anyway; how seriously can you take someone who sounds like Butters from South Park? Bonuses include a sing-along (as if anyone would ever want to hear the awful, awful songs from this cartoon again), a bit about the broad who came up with this miserable piece of crap ("Today her art is loved by just about everyone who speaks English!" Ego the Living Planet has nothing on this bitch.), and a shitload of ads before the main feature that you can't skip no matter what you do.

If you don't already hate Christmas, watching everything on this DVD will probably do the trick.
