I wish I could offer something more worthwhile here, but I possess neither book. However, I've read the Father Christmas book twice (most recently within the last couple years) with great delight.
The pictures are all very colorful and creative. Not cartoonish, but they seem to approach an animated feature in style. I can imagine enjoying an animated feature in this style, although it might suffer in close-ups, which Tolkien seems to avoid, to my recollection.
Wouldn't it be great if some Tolkien loving artists decided to use his style to tell his stories in an animated feature? It probably won't happen in our lifetime, if ever, but it's fun to imagine.
