Avoid unless very desperate

Avoid, avoid, avoid.

I have just sat through 40 minutes of a very badly English dubbed version of this story. I couldn't bear to finish it. I can't say if the English translation is good or not but the dialogue is dreadful, plus we have a poor song. This is beside the fact the animation style is horrible.

Olentzero is Father Christmas by any other name, with a donkey for a sidekick instead of reindeer. There's a preposterous story of a stolen wooden log, the destruction of a village's forest to make way for a ski resort and a runaway orphan.

This wouldn't hold the interest of children for more than a few minutes at best.
