This show was put on on a whim, and wow was I surprised at how engaging and fun it is. The voice talents are amazing (love Keith David and Alex Brightman, and who could argue against Stephanie Beatriz?), and the writing is great! I honestly was not expecting songs, which are really fun, and there are a lot of references to biblical lore, which I find fascinating.

It tackles a lot more issues than just sinning and redemption, and it has an interesting take on demons and the inner workings between different factions. I love the biblically accurate angel representations and attention to detail, and while I was initially skeptical of the animation style, I have grown to really like it.

This is a cute movie, Melissa McCarthy shines as always, and the story is very sweet. I enjoyed the newer take on the genie lore, but if you go into this thinking they reinvented the wheel youllbe disappointed. It is funny, sweet, and a feel-good movie. If you're looking for something like that, then this is your movie. I enjoyed how they had the main protagonist, I felt his character was interesting and smart, and I liked that he didn't follow the usual tropes that go into these kinds of movies. Get your pizza from John's on Bleeker Street and settle in and just enjoy the movie, don't break it apart, just enjoy it for what it is: a feel-good Christmas story about family.
