Review:
This is an odd movie. It takes place on another planet where people believe in Hogfather (Santa). The "Auditors" (Fates) have determined that the people shouldn't believe in anything and set out to rid the world of things that people believe in. It begins with the tooth fairy and then Hogfather (Santa) disappears. Death (Really, with the hood and the sickle) steps in to save the day (night). He takes over delivering gifts to the children. This movie is very long and is kind of strange, but it has a few sweet, touching moments. I wouldn't suggest it for young children.
