Negative Positive
Title: Lyrical, enchanting images and music
Review: This movie succeeds on several levels simultaneously: Musically, artistically, and expositionally. The only drawback is the physical product itself: My VHS is wearing poorly and almost from the start has had tracking problems. Others who have this movie have noted similar problems, so the videotape seems to be of poor quality.That said, the movie itself is wonderful. Taken from the book of the same name, there is no talking in the movie. Colored pencil images are the source of the animation. They are understated, but beautiful.The music is excellent and the entire score is noteworthy and enchanting.Lastly the story is timeless and Christmas oriented.Overall, highly recommended for children from 1 to 99. If you're looking for violent action or insipid humor, this is not the movie for you.
