'Twas the Night - A Holiday Celebration (2004)
This half-hour family special is a delightful combination of animated adaptations of classic holiday songs - performed by top stars ranging from Frank Sinatra to Macy Gray - plus live-action shots. The animated segments feature classic and all-new recordings of well-known holiday songs and are visually conceived through the skills of several top animators of a group of adorable 4 to 8-year old children, as well as by short live-action pieces that celebrate the holiday spirit of giving, sharing, and loving.

Reviews
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
