i do not see the point . it ponderous . the animated people be creepy ( look up uncanny valley ) . scene go on and on and on for very little purpose . the plot be skeletal and must be pad out with lot of meaningless dramatic and scream roller coaster ride and a if disney or spielberg be plan an amusement park ride base on the movie . most of the character be annoy and unlikeable . some of them keep show up a if they will have something important to add to a climactic scene . they do not . they just vanish with no lasting impact . somebody sum it up a if you do not believe in santa claus and you will be kidnap on a train on christmas eve . that pretty much sum it up .
