Elliot the Littlest Reindeer

I honestly tried to watch this with my kids. 1hr in and I still struggled to understand what was going on. The dialogue is sporadic and doesn't flow naturally with the story. They continually introduce new characters and existing characters constantly deviate from their "personality". Same old cartoon tropes-stereotyped animals with exaggerated accents. Overall it's just another generic B-level cartoon.

Our entire family watched this the day after Christmas, along with my 4 year old grandson, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it and laughed throughout. The dialogue was original for both adults and children. We loved this movie!

The animation is not the best - let's get this straight from the beginning. The dialog could have been better on certain occasions too. Still the movie is fine for little ones and those who are willing to cut this some slack and accept it for what it is - not perfect, but decent enough.

Some things may feel muddled and a bit deluded and tough to comprehend in the story. But overall it is a story about someone who wants to break a standard! You may not agree with this social message, you may like to think in boxes and certain structures that people or things are not supposed to break out of. For everyone else, give it a try. Worse things could be seen - believe that

The characters are incredibly annoying. My four year old nephew asked why we were watching it about 15 minutes in. It was so terrible even he didn't like it and he'll watch anything animated. Except this. Hazel is exceptionally annoying.

Its hard to say why its so rubbish but it just didnt flow and had loads of forced dialogue.
