Thanks to One2One Network I was able to preview the holiday episode of "Community" tonight. I'm a huge Joel McHale fan but due to the timing of the show haven't been able to see many episodes. That's why I totally jumped to see this episode which is not only a Christmas episode but in stop-motion animation!
The animation was really great. The caricatures of the characters were done well and some of the inanimate objects looked pretty cool too (check out the cars while Abed is jumping around.) The story was heart warming with plenty of sarcasm and humor thrown in by the cast. They also threw in a reference to one of my favorite shows which was well appreciated! I won't give it away so you'll have to watch. A lot of the humor is dry but there were definitely a handful of laugh out loud moments.
The premise is that Abed sees the world as stop-motion animation but no one else does. Everyone thinks he's crazy and they try a group intervention when Abed decides his mission is to find the meaning of Christmas. During a little 'Christmasnosis' the group goes on a journey that is part Polar Express and part Willy Wonka. On the way Abed's search for meaning is nearly derailed by the school therapist who is determined to create a scientific paper out of it. Find out what the meaning of Christmas is by tuning in tomorrow night (Dec. 9th) at 8 on NBC.
