Devilish Tricks

About This Movie

So, 'Devilish Tricks' is this neat little piece of animation from '82, where you get these living figurines from a Christmas tree, right? The atmosphere is festive but with a twist—more mischievous than jolly, thanks to our little devil character. He causes some chaos among the ornaments, and there's this palpable tension as he disrupts the holiday spirit. The pacing has a classic vibe, moving from playful antics to a bit of a moral lesson, which is pretty common for family flicks of the time. Not a lot of big names or flashy effects, but the practical animations of the ornaments are charmingly done. It's distinct in how it mixes that holiday warmth with a bit of dark humor.

Animation style is charmingly old-school.Interesting exploration of holiday themes.A fun watch for collectors of unique family films.
