    Yeah, there's a reason why VeggieTales chose to use vegetables and even Pixar, who actually had a good budget, started off with plastic toys and took a long time to work their way up to human protagonists. Early CGI had a lot of limitations, so you had to work with what the technology could do instead of just writing whatever you wanted and not caring whether the animation would work.

      The hilariously horrifically thing is if you look at the sequel to this, the animation actually got WORSE. For some reason in the sequel the frame rate is a lot slower, thee characters don't even have walking animation as most of the time is spent standing in place and the whole thing looks like it was a transfer of a transfer of itself.

      There's a movie called Elliot the Littlest Reindeer where the villain was Santa's chief engineer elf. But his plan was really dumb. Basically, he wanted to convince Santa to switch to his new rocket sleds. To do this, he set up and manipulated the reindeer to keep quitting over allegedly personal business, and spread lies about reindeer being useless, unreliable jerks. It's better than this movie by a lot but still not that great.

    Despite all the movie's obvious faults, I do quite like The Snowman's design for whatever reason. It's the one time they used the simplistic animation to their advantage, sure his floating head form is a little goofy but it just gives you this video game final boss feel. If his expressions were more robust he could be a perfectly fine looking villain design.

    I think the "film" makers here thought people would be so easily impressed with the computer animation that they'd overlook every other glaring flaw this movie has. But really, with the half-assed story, character designs, layout, lighting, and movement on display, this movie would suck even with today's graphics. It's not just dated; it's unprofessional on every level. I'd bet anything if you gave whatever software they made this with to a Pixar animator, they'd make diamonds out of dog crap. But naaaaahhh, effort's just not in the budget.
