The story, though, doesn't feel it's quite there. A lot of the things that are supposed to be funny simply aren't -- it's like they cast Stephen Colbert as the President because *of course he'll be funny! he's Stephen Colbert!* Well, no, he won't, absent any good lines and his wildly sycophantic audience. Most of the gags are simply painfully lame. They'd play well with six-year-olds, but not so much with adults. Pixar this ain't. But it's got a good character base, and I could see it being a Yuletide fandom.
