Quel Natale

A charming, wholesome family movie that could easily become a yearly rewatch in many households. It finds the sweet spot where it is enjoyable for young children and adults. I would strongly recommend this movie to parents who are looking for something to watch with their kids who may still be a little too young for some of the other Christmas classics. The countless positive messages open a door for many important discussions with your kids, and even adults could benefit from some of the reminders this movie offers. It has a similar feel to Arthur Christmas, so if you enjoyed that movie you may like this one too.

One reviewer said the content wasn't for children. That's the joke. Those jokes are meant to go over the head of children and they do, if they don't I suggest you look at how you aren't your children. What nonsense. Anyway, film is great. British humour and added modern twists like the way we communicate in our little communities. Very heart warming and very pretty scenery. People in Suffolk do not have the same accent as those in the west country though. This is always and issue with anytging set IN Norfolk or Suffolk and it is a shame. There's a lot of locals who would be great in roles. Enjoy.

My daughter and I chose to hop into this one sporadically and it was so cute and warming. The variation of overlapping character experiences over the holidays and how they all work together to tell a larger tale of appreciation, gratitude and love during Christmas time is perfect for families and audiences of all ages. A truly heartfelt and palpable yet interestingly diverse assortment of characters across a wideset of ages makes it a movie anyone can relate to. I laughed and smiled!

It's a cute, magical and whimsical new Christmas story that is bound to be a favorite among many animated classics.

I'm not gonna lie, I really wanted this to be something truly special as a Christmas movie. The kind that could've been something a real special tradition on Netflix since Klaus. And I was let down by this one. That Christmas had so much potential to be a great movie for the holidays, but it just ended up as completely mid. It had the right tools with great animation and I honestly think that Daniel's side plot should've been the only plot worth focusing because I see the heart coming from it does come to the right place. But it overall had way too many plot holes that they barely had any connection to one another. Like how the kids plan to celebrate Christmas their way, parents getting lost and unable to be home for Christmas, and a naughty twin sister seeking redemption. All that is hard to know what the movie wants to mainly be about. Plus, the comedy is stale and relies on having the tone modernized. If you're planning on watching this for Christmas, then I simply recommend that it's a one-time watch. There are better Christmas movies such as Klaus and Christmas Chronicles. I'm not gonna lie, 2024 has not been a good year for Netflix when it comes to animated films. Sure, we've gotten some good ones such as Ultraman Rising and Orion and the Dark. But for the most part, Netflix has released movies that are either average or just straight up bad. So the best I'll say to Netflix is, well, better luck next year.

This film had lots of potential with some great voice actors let down by a very poor script and every single kind of 'political correct' statement of inclusion, diversity, and equity rammed into every inch. I am all for adding in the right message but this was just trying too hard and made it feel like 'message' rather than a movie.

My kids enjoyed it well enough but I don't think this a going to be one that we watch every year on repeat like the usual favourites. Netflix and the other streaming channels need to just bring good honest fun like Klaus which is our firm favourite and their best new Christmas movie in recent years.
