Natal no País das Maravilhas

As an adult and a parent I've not sat through this film even once, but it's been played by my kids over Christmasnat least 20 times, they can't get enough of it. It seems to have the magic of Christmas about it, and at least one of the songs is an ear-worm (not in a good way sadly). This is a kids Christmas film and you can feel the love it was made with, it's pure joy and fun; and parts I've seen are totally bonkers. I'm a way it reminds me of Santa's Apprentice, in that it's totally different from everything else that's out there. We need to be kinder to children's Christmas films, which I believe is on message for this movie.

It's actually a pretty good film. It is kind of a mix of most of the classics. This is something different that paints to the newer generations. I good not keep my eyes off the tv and was tapping my foot to the songs. Animation style is made to look more hand painted or drawn, which is a work of art in itself.

This is not your typical holiday animation with upbeat and catchy music. I do recommend that anyone keeps an open mind as this movie seems to be more developed towards children.

There are plenty of scenarios that tie along with classics and what better Christmas "villain" would be someone like the Grinch. The ending ties along with a mixture of Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer and The Grinch. There are bits of Alice in the Wonderland. Overall this movie was put together really well and if you have younger kids it's a must watch.

A nice twist on a Christmas movie. Alice in wonderland meets holiday fun. Original and now just another classic Christmas story. Musical approach is very fun and loved all the rhyming. Great for a family movie night during the holidays. Voice acting is excellent and the art is beautiful. The ending and characters growing and learning the meaning for Christmas time is good. Perfect movie to add to the rotation this holiday season. Would love to see them expand this world and have Santa go visit more lands and include more adventures. If you like ride of the guardians this is a great pick for you.

A lovely Christmas film with charming characters, beautiful artwork (that felt very nostalgic the snowman-esq to me which I loved) and well written, catchy songs which are now the sound track to any journey we make in the car. Wonderfully cast with loveable characters. An interesting story with "Alice in Wonderland" quirks, twists and turns and, ofcourse, a classic Christmas redemption story. Contrary to other reviews I have seen, I found the length to the film no issue with my 5 year old who was glued to the story from start to finish. A great feel good family Christmas film I am sure we will come back to time and again.

The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland is a mashup of upbeat music, the twists and turns of Wonderland, and the holiday spirit! It's perfect for families and it definitely brought up some Christmas memories for me

The film follows the story of St. Nick (Gerard Butler) on Christmas day as he gets ready to deliver presents. He receives a last-minute letter from the Princess of Hearts (Eliza Riley) who requests a special present, her own special pet. Despite being warned of the twisted Wonderland by his reindeer, St. Nick goes on a musical journey to fulfill the princess's wish. But on arrival, he has to face the Christmas hating, Queen of Hearts (Emilie Clark) and try to teach her what Christmas is all about.

The main characters are St. Nick, Alice (Simone Ashley), Prancer (Mae Muller) and the Queen of Hearts! I love how the music is super catchy and fits the holiday theme, but it also gives you a little something to dance to. I love the fun combination of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Clement Clarke Moore's poem "Twas the Night Before Christmas." The story is well-developed. The animation is unique, especially since it is not a style you see much today; it's a line-drawn style that is reminiscent of older-style holiday films. I got to speak with Gerard Butler who plays St. Nick, and he told me about how special this movie is for him. It can definitely impact people who may have lost the Christmas spirit and remind them what Christmas is all about -- having a great time during the holidays with their families. Just like the Queen of Hearts who has lost her faith in the holidays and developed a large hatred for them is helped by St. Nick who allows her to feel better and lose her bitterness.

This film reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas and allows viewers to become immersed in the happiness and fun of Christmas.

I give The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. It is streaming now on Hulu. By Tiana S., KIDS FIRST!
