Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

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 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!

Alright, listen. This special is all over the place. It's awkwardly animated (to say the least), the story is weakly fashioned around a satirical Christmas song (and is more filler than genuine, holly-jolly entertainment), the voice acting is subpar, and, at 51 minutes, it's way too long. But all those things are what make this ridiculous little movie so endearing. It's something I would watch as a kid and enjoy, if for nothing more than the simple story and jokes. It was a little too long to hold my attention throughout, even then, but it still had something special about it that kept me coming year after year. Now, it's good for the fun factor of it. You can't put this on expecting to see A Charlie Brown Christmas-level of quality, because that's just not it. When taken for that it is (a quick attempt for Warner Bros. to cash in on the hit Dr. Elmo song), it offers just enough to give a little holiday cheer. Shoehorning in a bunch of cuts off Dr. Elmo's Christmas record of the same name, it makes for some of the most awkward, inappropriately inserted musical numbers, perhaps, in this history of animated movies. It's worthy of countless razzies and that's why I love it.

Grandma Spankenheimer has a small store in the middle of the city. Grandson Jake works with her along with the rest of the family. Cousin Mel is greedy and hates Grandma's generous ways. She is so desperate to sell the store to tycoon Austin Bucks that she is willing to sabotage Grandma's fruitcake recipe. Then the song happens and Santa runs over Grandma.

Writing a story to a novelty song is not usually recommended. They even double-down with more songs. Acting out the song is cringe-worthy. Everything after that is either annoying or boring. The animation is lower grade. Despite all that, I'm invested in finding Grandma if only to get to the end. It would be more daring and fun if Grandma actually was killed by Santa. Of course, that would be asking too much for this Christmas special wannabe.

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.
