How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleefully anarchic creature feature that treats destruction as slapstick comedy, cute and cuddly one moment, delightfully mischievous and menacing the next. It's Christmas chaos filtered through practical puppet magic and genuine invention, never quite settling whether you should laugh or squirm.
