Good show ......but why......
So what a great Christmas kids show. I rented it for my nieces and didn't realize they had to put all kinds of cleavage and inappropriate dress on the women. Its a kid show . Are you for real.
I regret renting it. Could be a perfect show, but..... kids don't need to be exposed to that at a young age. Shameful.
I wouldn't recommend it
Trite and tiring, the one-liners almost made me cry. My 4 year old left the room and ended up doing a puzzle. I don't know what age group this was written for, but the writer himself/herself didn't even want credit. As for the song, it's mildly amusing. At least it was a decade ago. There are many Christmas movies to watch. Although I've seen some many more times than this, they are still enjoyable. Whenever this comes on, I try to encourage my child to watch something else. One positive note, that allowed a vote of 2 instead of 1, is that it encourages good moral values. That would have been encouraging, if anyone were watching.
Average Holiday Animated film! 6 Stars is a stretch, but I gave it!
I don't remember ever seeing this one before. For someone who knew the song very well, but not the film...wondering where have I been? If I have, it was a long time ago. It is definitely based upon the song, which is silly to begin with so the movie is just the same, far-fetched, yet considering the song and the animated movie match, it was exactly what it was supposed to be in a crazy and weird kind of way. They just made a move based on the song because they could, but that's about all. However, it turned out to be not as bad as I thought it would be, so I was a little pleasantly surprised. It's not a complete waste of time, but worthy of at least one viewing. Happy Holidays IMDb and everyone reading this review for 2017!
Movie bad, cousin hot
This movie makes me not want kids so they would never have to see this four fingered, fruitcake tasting , Ace Attorney courtroom drama abomination of a Christmas movie.
Cousin's hot though.

It's alright (watchable)
Okay, so this is the 4th time I've watched this Christmas special in a row, the first time I enjoyed, same with the 2nd time, but the 3rd time, I started to notice some problems and now- pretty much the same.
I'll say the pros first, the voice acting was fine and the songs were okay, nicely paced, some the animation was fine, and it does have some charm, but that's kinda about it.
The cons is that the writing is pretty bad, the characters are kinda bland and basic, the story was pretty whack and dumb, some of the dialogue was corny, the animation was pretty choppy at time with some the voice not matching the mouths and looks very cheap, and while the songs were fine, they added nothing to the story and probably was added to just fill the movie.
Overall, at worst, it's mediocre, and at best, it's decent, it's definitely not as bad as some say, but objective, it's definitely not good. I do see this having a cult following tho and being in the so-bad-it's-good territory. I would still watch it every year cuz of what whacky it is, but it's definitely not that good, it's mostly mid to decent.
6/10.
