I was only introduced to this movie recently, but I already love it. Here's why I love it:
a) The story is creative and fun. Read the main page for a summary.
b) Some of the best animation OR claymation I have ever seen. Hard to believe that it was all done with clay.
c) Jack. His voice is perfect for the character, his character design and movement is perfect for the character, and his personality is great. I especially like how, after he screws up Christmas, instead of being all "woe is me," he basically says, "Okay, this didn't work, I screwed up, this isn't my place, and I need to fix it." (And he does!)
d) Sally. I like how she's an active character instead of being some Shallow Love Interest. And I like how they made her slightly devious when it comes to her creator— knocking him out repeatedly, not settling for what he says she has to settle for— but she's still a nice person (zombie? ragdoll?) who has a good heart.
Absolutely amazing.
