Good concept, poorly executed.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
This is a short, beautiful animated CGI film based on a picture book with the same name.I personally think this is a sweet, fun, amusing film. Unfortunately its animation quality is not all that good, but the good qualities of the film are replaced with a fantastic narrator (Hugh Laurie), a sweet storyline and lovely characters (even the baddies are entertaining!).An enchanted forest is created when some trees decide to "move up" to a big hill, where they can enjoy the sunshine and a new life.

Enjoy "The Tale of Jack Frost"!
