This is a pleasant animated feature by the stop-action pioneer Wladyslaw Starewicz. It's not so remarkable when compared to his own finest movies, but in itself it is an agreeable and good-natured feature, and it is done with his usual skilled craftsmanship.
The idea of the story is simple, with an animated Father Christmas ornament planning a Christmas celebration for some forest creatures. There isn't a lot in terms of a story line, but there is a good variety of Starewicz's detailed animal puppets, and some interesting settings. Overall, "The Insects' Christmas" is not as interesting as his best films, but it does feature the kind of carefully crafted animation that you would expect from him.
