I Never Ho'd For My Father: The Kris Kringle Story offers a unique take on the Christmas narrative, blending animation with a surprisingly darker tone. The film explores the complexities of Santa’s character, peeling back layers of joy to reveal a more troubled figure. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the unsettling atmosphere. Practical effects are used in some intriguing ways, and while the animation might not be top-tier, it complements the film’s unusual themes. Performances - though not widely recognized - carry a weight that lingers long after. It's a curious watch that steers clear of holiday clichés, making it stand out in the landscape of animated films.
