Christmas Is Here Again

A NEW CHRSTIMAS TRADITION FOR MY FAMILY!
After reading the reviews here, I decided to go out and buy a copy of this film for my family to watch. It sure put us in the holiday spirit and we all cannot wait to watch it again! The animation is done so beautifully that the characters and scenes just seem to come alive. The voice actors in this movie is what really attracted me to the film - quite a diverse group of actors, all of whom are great and truly shine in this film.

The music is quite catchy and enjoyable, the characters are lovable, and the story is an inspiration that provides humor and hope for all! I'm so glad that the film brought in a way to describe what the holiday season really is all about. Go out and buy this film! I know it will be enjoyed by my family for many years to come; it surely will not disappoint you this holiday season! Proudly give this 5 Stars!

A marvelous new holiday tale
This is an enchanting new animated special that you'll have to see. In this star-studded tale, the story of Santa's magic sack of toys is told--including, for the first time, the truth about the black coal he delivers to bad girls and boys. ('Tis true!). The character designs and animation are terrific and bright, the songs are hummable and with talents like Shirley Jones signing (Mrs. Claus), you can't go wrong. Loved the elves. Loved the bear. The movie has magic, humor, and most of all....heart. A really neat presentation that the whole family will enjoy at Christmas time. It'll get you in the mood. It's a new classic just waiting to be discovered.

1 star because 1/2 star rating is not an option...rental at best
Thought this would be a good holiday movie to watch with the family so I rented it. Glad I did because this movie is lame. Basically Santa's magic toy "sack" has been stolen by some evil villain that hate's Christmas so Santa is cancelling the holiday. A young girl and a couple other characters set out to find Santa's sack and save xmas. There were three main things I REALLY disliked about this movie:

1)The Music. If I was a music teacher and this was what my class produced, F- for everyone. The songs are not catchy at all and seem like they were made up as the people went along. Not to mention all of them sound the same: background orchestra music with person "singing" in almost a talking voice. Lastly, the songs drag on (and I mean draaaaaaaaag) for several minutes. At the end of each one came a sigh of relief that it was over. I'd rather be punched in the ear by someone wearing brass knuckles than have to sit through another verse of music from this movie...
