The Magic Snowflake

I have watched this film now 2 years in a row. It's become part of our holiday tradition! I'm surprised by the lower rating. It has a Studio Ghibli feel and the writing along with the animation and VO work is spectacular. Really brings you into the world! I have watched this with kids and adults who have all said they enjoyed every minute! Highly entertaining!

This is a poorly made piece of art. We had high expectations going into it, since it advertised that the same people who made "Leap" had a hand in this. It was nothing like "Leap." It had the feel of the "Little Prince," but more confusing. The main plot and conflict/resolution was lost in a mess of one disconnected problem after another, almost like it was originally designed as a mini series, but then someone decided to just throw it all in the same pot and call it a movie. We watched it with our four kids, ages 4-10. After it was done, before biasing then, we asked the older two how they liked it. Our 10-year -old said, "That was a mess, and really confusing." Our 8-year-old said, "I liked it, but it was really weird and confusing."

I was annoyed and confused the first 5 mins. My kids didn't care much for it either and all the characters were annoying, frustrating, and self absorbed.
