A theatre troupe of animals perform three stories. The wrap-around is the animals on a theater stage introducing the stories. The first story has a stork crashing and leaving the baby with the animals. The second story has a fox stealing three eggs and raising the chicks as his own. The third story has the animals trying to save Christmas in their own ways.

The animation style is simple and there are some good fun here. It's generally a nice time. The second story is fun and the first introduction is great. I do have reservations about the premise of the theater. Essentially, the animals are actors playing roles in the stories. It keeps the animals from developing a consistent personality throughout the movie. It would be easier for them to simply be these characters. I can't name a TV show where the actors play different characters in every episode. At most, the lead character gets put into different roles in Dollhouse and Quantum Leap. The premise keeps the stories disjointed from each other.

Quite frankly I found this little masterpiece out of the blue, just watched the trailer and I kind of liked the jokes and the animation style overall so I decided why not... today's animation is tending to be way too realistic and we don't want that in the cartoon, a true cartoon which it totally is. This one is full of surprises - despite the fact that it is dubbed from French with the help of English voice actors, who had done their job outstandingly and their voiceover was simply superb to say the least, you do not feel the boundaries of any specific regional characteristics - it is universally a great movie, with lots of jokes, one of a kind animation, amazing score and nice although outdated and "nothing new" plotlines that still keep you on the edge of the seat and make you live through the performance along with the characters. This is a wonderful gem of a movie and I'd definitely prefer this to most of those millions of Disney lookalikes that are in theaters every month now.

One of the best comedy animation movie i have ever watched
