First, I have to say I saw this a few years ago and not since. I do have to say the dialogue is incredibly corny, even for the youngest kids. The boy's dog was named ''Dofus'' simply for a punch line in the end that goes ''Dufus, you're a genius!'' with jokes like that, this film couldn't possibly made it to a major studio. Or TV. But it did. Oh, well.

Granted that I loved this special when I was about six, now as I watched it again I realized that it was the biggest piece of rubbish I'd ever seen. The characters are one dimensional, the plot goes back and forth, the song transitions look like someone tried their least and came out with this abomination, and the only thing that redeems this crap fest is the animation. For a low budget (and I mean REALLY low budget), names never heard around the household as leads, and a horrible song to go around with it, it keeps kind of a pretty good feel from the animation.If you've seen this then you've probably witnessed the horrors of this program. Every time they show this on TV I try my best to either look for a better show or look at it from a different perspective. However, every single time I try to look at it a different way, it gets worse. Now back to the animation, it is really smooth. It renders well and it looks like walking, running, skating, blading, etc. when you see it. But that only saves it from getting a complete and utter 0. Humour got run over a reindeer and it never recovered.

Never I have seen a movie so terrible that i've gone insane. It was a HUGE waste of time seeing this crappy film. There are a lot of things i hate about this movie: The songs is so terrible (yet a little bit catchy) i hit my head on the wall(especially from the song 'Grandpa is gonna sue the pants out of Santa' which i hit 10 Times *shrugs*), the character design, and that evil, greedy, and Bitchy cousin Mel.I cannot stand her for one second, she has got to be one of the most bitchiest person i've seen. Even though i kinda like her southern voice. The only bright-side is that Austin Bucks is played by the person who is the voice of Liquid Snake from Metal Gear Solid.I would not recommended to people to watch for the holidays as it was a HUGE disgrace for x-mas.

i am somewhat of a Christmas-nut; i have quite a collection of VHS and DVD movies and cartoons that celebrate the season. most of them are classics that we all know and love. (A Christmas Story, Miracle on 34th, It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, etc...) this is no classic. it's fairly flat in its delivery, and doesn't even offer the slightest nod to the real-life roots of Christmas (Christian or otherwise). i bought it from an online store for 1.95 with free shipping, and couldn't resist adding it to my Holiday movie collection for such a low, low price. i don't regret it.while the acting is kinda unbalanced and the voice work could use some help (some of the voices match the characters nicely, others are jarring, like Grandpa), it's still a fun movie. kids will definitely enjoy it much more than adults, but that should be obvious from the get-go. the songs are dopey, but the presentation is so silly and the art is so colorful that the movie gets away with a lot (at least, it did with me).i think this movie is best suited to running in the background while you're decorating the tree or having the family over for a holiday get-together. don't expect anything more.PS: in case you're wondering, the guy who voices Austin Bucks also does TONS of video game voice acting. i recognize him most as Liquid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series. that alone is kinda fun.
