The voice cast is the only redeeming quality of this film. The animation is crude and the writing is absolutely atrcious. The main focus of the story is the fact that no one in the family is expecting a good Christmas because they have no money. The father goes out and sells his horse (who he uses for work & is his childrens only friend) to buy his kids a toy horse. The mother has absolutely no input the entire movie other than backing up the dad's poor decisions. The father spends too much time sulking around looking at items he can't afford. My wife also pointed out to me that the way the children's eyes are drawn is a little weird and distracting. Finally, the ending is a deus ex and doesn't make sense. That women needs to leave her husband and take her kids somewhere else. She deserves better.
