The Polar Express has to be up there. The animation is terrible and disconcertingly  creepy. Like they couldn't be bothered to spend a bit of extra time to make the movements seem in any way natural and decided spreading nightmares was about as good as spreading Christmas cheer.

 

The wife put it on for the kids tonight, but she and the 4 year old were the only ones watching. The middle child was playing Mario 64 on his Switch (pos rep for him) while I pretty much ended up doing everything for him after he tried and failed, or got to distracted dropping the baby penguin down the chimney (he's 6, so he thought that was about the funniest thing ever). Of course we were too much of a distraction from her slow roll horror movie that never ends. Speaking of which, they finally arrived at the North Pole at about 9 o'clock, and I ask if we should start getting the kids ready for bed, as they've already stayed up pretty late and I have stuff I need to do, like watch Ken Burns' American Revolution Documentary. "It's almIost over," I'm told. Fourty five minutes later they are still waiting on Santa to shut up so they can go home and finish the damn story. How in the most unholy of abominations do you stretch a story out so long? It's worse than the droid factory scene in whichever Star Wars prequel that was.
