100 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS, PART 1: ANGELA'S CHRISTMAS.
This (very short) animated film from the early days of Netflix is just fine, nothing more nothing less.
It tells the story of a young Irish girl in the early 20th century who decides to 'help' a baby Jesus figurine she sees in a church nativity display which she thinks is cold by stealing it. Hi-jinx and heartwarming moments predictably follow.
Lessons about the meaning of the season and the strength of family togetherness abound, and although the CGI may be dated it just about does the job.
If you're looking for an animated festive classic along the same lines as The Snowman you should probably try elsewhere, but as a cute warmup to the Holidays, you could do much, much worse than this little charmer. 6/10.
