David y los elfos

Obvious, I love it. Because it preserves all flavors of my childhood . Because it is that kind of Christmas films proposing self rediscover. An elf looking for know the people. A Santa having not the most charming experiences with humans. A boy and his father, exploring, together, a fantastic world. A skeptical mother. The grandparends reminding, in some measure, the grandpa of Heidi. And a lot of adventures.

I do not know what can propose/ suggest this film to a Western / American public. For me, it was a fine resurrection of memories about Arabella, Polish animation, Soviet fairy tales adaptations.

Sure, a lot of unrealistic situations ( the turn of mother can be the first ) and flaws. But it is a profound charming film. This is its basic trait, most important fact and the feelings after final credits are the best. And the young Dawid propose a great role, reminding, in fair way, the unique maturity and wisdome of children.

Yet here i am'', well if you know the line of this tune that malisciously infects us scandinavians from novermber first to make us come in the mood of believing and you like it, then view this polish santa and elves headquaters and their life and duties as the magic winterpeople of the world, its worth the wile and its just a matter of fantasy, hope and trust.

Even though polish language that is just a load of ''s's'' to me they do deliver the message, a well spirited acted and a production filled with the right glow and sound of the yule season makes this a must see for everyone. A childs story that will suit every grown up too, even the grumpiest of old men like me, who hates the stress and the race of preparations, other than what mr griswald do, namely to decorate the house illuminatevly, because like my crumbling old age has taught me is that to give others light and invisible hope every morning and evening when leaving for school and work vice versa, is the best and far more important than what i get myself...

so give a darn in your x.mas duties and follow my recommend, ''david and the elves'' is a film must see.

I wasn't expecting much from this film, like most Netflix Christmas movies, but this was an enjoyable watch. It wasn't annoying and flashy and loud. It wasn't too sweet and sappy either. The costumes and sets were top quality and I enjoyed the natural acting. The story was engaging and had some cute, funny moments. For the commenter who mentioned dubbing, you can switch your Netflix settings to subtitled and the problem is solved. Overall, it's a fun little film that captures the season and doesn't rely on cliches. A very good effort.

Well long time I haven't seen such a funny and beautiful Christmas movie , I'm not looking for flaws in the details, the important thing is that it was watched by the whole family with a lot of laughter. Congratulations.

While the voice overs were of a mixed level of success (and I think it probably be watched in its original Polish with subtitles, though I haven't done that - yet), I thought it was a charming film and quite different in tone and style from typical Hollywood fare. All the characters have "attitude", and since I came into watching the film with something of my own attitude, it hit me just right. Santa and Ms. Claus are hilarious. Nice story and messages. A refreshing alternative to the other 75 new Netflix x-mas films...
