How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming stop-motion holiday tale about finding your place in the world, told with gentle warmth and a touch of melancholy about being different. It's earnest, whimsical, and genuinely moving despite its simple structure.

Reviews
This soundtrack is my favorite holiday album.
I watched this twice in a row today. I always watch it while I wrap gifts, paying partial attention, and I decided to do a dedicated viewing.
So I watch, and everything is going great until Hermey pulld out all of Bumble's teeth while he was unconscious. Wait, what? That's not what I remember. I could have sworn Hermey pulls one tooth because Bumble had a toothache, which was the source of all his rage. I finish it, and I'm confused, so I watch the whole this again. I do some googling, and apparently this is the Rudolph Toothache Mandela Effect.
Honestly I just don't know what's real anymore. Five stars though, and I love that Yukons sled dogs are a dachshund and a poodle.
