I loved very much. For simplicity, precision, gentle grace and, sure, for the voice of Christopher Plummer. But, more important, for rediscover of the virtues of clay in fine and just beautiful way to present this magnificent subject.

It is more than a good christmas short animation.

It represents, in some measure, a nice trip across the sound from childhood reveling the birth of Savior.

The image of Irod as a sort of Babylonian king is one of virtues . The angel offering the Good New to the sheperts is the other.

The result - just a lovely version and the old, familiar flavors of childhood in the Eve of Christmas.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
