The jerkiness of the incomplete animation is rather jarring. Also numerous close-ups were poorly done with vibrating edges instead of properly rendered ones.

The story is ok, but money spent on narration should have been used to add frames and clean up the animation instead.

Super cute animation and story, easy for kids in blended families to relate and understand. Was fun to watch amidst all of the reruns and repetitive Christmas movies.

The animation is pretty nice. Not the best, but bright and cheery, though the head style was a little odd but OK, that's a style choice.

I did not by any means expect the heart of "A Christmas Story," nor did I expect the master storyteller narration of Jean Shepherd. But yikes. Jimmy Fallon was downright flat. Awful. He sounded bored and probably was. Plus he's not even an actor. No emotion. Just terrible. Ugh.

The story was an odd choice. An anal retentive Christmas. Yay. And oh, Fallon was the author of the book it is based on. Figures. There really nothing in it to recommend it, nor to advise strongly against it. It's just sort of there, like the bland narration. I guess kids may like it for the fact it is a cartoon.
