- It’s also fun and interesting to see how all of the film was composited to give it a unique, almost stop-motion look though it was fully made using computer animation.
- An Almost Christmas Story follows Moon, a curious young owl who unexpectedly finds himself stuck in a Christmas tree destined for Rockefeller Plaza.
