Jay W @RT52162311 Dec 22 I'm typically an easy mark for these types of stop motion animated Christmas shorts. But this one misses the mark. The main character, a young owl named Moon, relies too much on her cuteness for her likability. She is disobedient, easily distracted and makes very dumb decisions. The rules of their world are poorly defined. The conflict is resolved in a ludicrously simple way. And the character learns nothing from her journey. But it's cardboard aesthetic is cute. And little kids will enjoy it well enough. See more Ilyas Z @Zellai Dec 7 This Is An ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE.

And I think it does a good job representing people living with a disability, in this case, a prosthetic leg, without coming off as condescending or pandering. It's not amazing and it has a few moments of unexplained weirdness but An Almost Christmas Story is still a delightful watch for anyone with a Disney Plus account.

At just 25 minutes, it’s the perfect bite-sized holiday treat. Sure, the “trying to get home for Christmas” plot is cliché, but who cares? It’s charming, heartwarming, and packed with that old-school Christmas magic we don’t see enough of anymore. The claymation is fantastic, with every frame oozing personality. It’s funny, sweet, and nails the true meaning of Christmas without feeling cheesy. Specials like this remind us why we fell in love with holiday movies in the first place. We need more like this. See more Yash B @yashbansal 11/19/2024 "An Almost Christmas Story" is a sweet and simple holiday tale, told with really cool animation techniques. I think the story is light and short to watch and I think a wide range of audiences can find enjoyment in it. I liked how it made me feel and I found myself genuinely engaged by the main conflicts, which is all I can ask for in a short film. Overall, it is a solid addition to easy-to-watch content around the holidays and shows that there is still creativity for animated stories told around the holidays. See more Read all reviews
