That Christmas

About This Movie

So, 'That Christmas' (2024) dives into this charming little town called Wellington-on-Sea, where a snowstorm turns everything upside down. The atmosphere is warm yet chaotic, blending adventure and fantasy in a really nice way. The animation style has a hand-drawn feel that adds a layer of nostalgia, and some practical effects used for the snow really enhance the visuals. The pacing is a bit uneven, which gives it a laid-back vibe, almost like you're part of the town's slow unraveling during the storm. The performances add heart, even if the characters sometimes feel a bit cliché. What sets it apart is how it tackles themes of community and resilience amidst chaos, which I found pretty refreshing.
