Ed Potton Times (UK) That Christmas is like a neutered Motherland, or Pixar but lobotomised and dressed by Boden. Rated: 2/5 Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) ... The writing’s sentimental and/or smirky longueurs are remedied by the animation itself, whose cosy charm has a distinctly British sensibility – from the architecture to the landscape and even the colour palettes, everything is satisfyingly just right. Rated: 3/5 Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International The film looks terrific... And while the story itself might not hold any surprises, it’s big-hearted and generous with its happy endings. Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Julian Roman MovieWeb That Christmas tells a wonderfully compassionate CGI animated tale of a seaside village coming together to celebrate family and friends during the holidays. The big difference here from traditional stories is a clever focus on multiculturalism. Rated: 4/5 Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Tessa Smith Mama's Geeky A beautifully animated film that is the perfect start to the holiday season, delivering important messages of love and acceptance, of family and friendship, and of the true meaning of Christmas. Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com “That Christmas” doesn’t exactly know when to quit, but it retains plenty of charm, also offering a flavorful voice cast and enjoyable animation to add a fresh display of seasonal entertainment for those in need of it. Rated: B Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
