There are some wry, self-referential jokes and the animators are good at facial expressions and powdery, polar landscape textures.

It's more like a compendium of familiar ideas bolted together and painted white -- a snow job, in other words.

There's really not much to recommend about this film: the animation lacks texture, the score is overwrought, the plotting is scattershot, and the character design is uninspired.

Even though the values in the film are suitable for all, the "be true to yourself" message has had better vehicles...
