Awesome! I had totally forgotten what prompt I had submitted. I had never thought of setting the "manger borrowing" in a modern day pageant. Nice job thinking outside the box, even if building a manger isn't quite "borrowing" it.

Right off the bat, the exterior shot of the church is fantastic. It's a great set, but the dusting of snow really makes it shine. In fact, all the sets are highly detailed and well-lite. Animation is also consistently top-notch.

However, there are a couple smaller things that bothered me.
The mouth animation looked good overall, but could have used another transition frame or two between some of the mouth shapes. While the mouths looked fine (Not a style I care for, but they looked well-made in that style) the eyes were certainly too big. However, for an early attempt at mouth animation, it's fantastic!

The bigger issue is when nearly half of the total runtime is credits. Granted, the credits screen design is wonderful and winter-y, but it's still way too big in relation to the rest of the film.
