All I Want for Christmas Is You

No wait I meant kid yourself! The song was written about ... well not pets! I'm certain of that. But it is being used here to tell a story of a girl (Mariah), who wants not just a dog for Christmas, but her dream dog. Now when I saw this on Prime, I thought "you've got to be kidding me, yes?". But they weren't and I have to admit, it is not half as bad as I expected this to be.

It is of course aimed mainly at the very young ones. But it has a social message amongst all the mayhem it does create. And with the main/theme song being as great as it is ... what can go wrong? The movie may not be anywhere near top standards animation wise, but it does have its heart in the right place. If you are a cynic (I kind think I am too, but apparently I do have a heart - which occasionally works), you may feel differently ... just be aware what this is and what it tries to achieve. This nothing more, but also nothing less

My most favorite Christmas movie I don't know why the reviews and ratings are bad I came here to give it a good review.

I watch this movie every christmas Breanna yde has good voice in this movie Mariah Carey narrates is good too the problem to me is the 3D mouth movement in the trailer I was interested i laugh in few scenes the dogs are cute but jack is little annoying in every scenes but still cute. I recommended this movie for your kids. 10 out of 10 to me this movie is greater than any of the movie I mean not all of them the grinch is my favorite too. BTW It's december gonna watch it again.

This movie didn't have anything to show kids what Christmas is all about. It just showed mean people. It also presented 2 people not having fun, competing and cheating. It was a horrible experience. I didn't like it at all. Horrible, horrible, horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I appreciated the fact that the movie really was G, which was surprising for me considering Mariah's innuendo singing videos.

The singing was pretty decent, no real highs or lows, but all in all a good listen.

The voice dubbing left something to be desired, U have a woman born in 1970 dubbing about a pre-teen character, and it doesn't really work. I think Mariah needed someone giving her some constructive criticism in this instead of a bunch of kiss ups giving her feed back. Fred Astaire did the narrating and singing in 'Santa clause is comin to town', and dubbed an older character, to make a point.

I really liked how the script kept the focus on the dog plot, as a lot of advertised dog movies are not in reality focused on a dog, but rather the dog ends up being in more of a sub plot within the movie. Not so in this one. Of course it is an animation, so this is not a perfect comparison.

I can recommend this movie for kids, it focuses on puppies and a child's interaction with her parents (yep, a Christmas video movie in which a child has both a Dad and Mom). The movie in of itself is not any kind of classic, but it is a serviceable G family Christmas watch, younger kids may like it quite a bit.

Review Date 4/8/2019

I Have Reviewed OVER 500 "Christmas Films and Specials". Please BEWARE Of films and specials with just one review! For instance When "It's a POSITIVE" chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. "If its Negative" then they may have a grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare about these films.

All I Want For Christmas Is You (also known as Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You) is a 2017 direct-to-video computer-animated Christmas film based on the song by Mariah Carey and the book by Carey herself and Colleen Madden. The film stars the voices of Mariah Carey, Breanna Yde, and Henry Winkler.

Young Mariah (Breanna Yde) desperately wants a puppy for Christmas, but her parents are not convinced that she should have one. They agree to let Mariah dog-sit the puppy Jack (Dee Bradley Baker) and if she can take care of Jack, then she can have a dog of her very own.

The animation is very strange to me. However the story is cute. This is not the greatest Christmas family movie but it is enjoyable (Once). The story centers around a girl and a dog and you can't help but loving that little dog.

This Christmas film would not complete without a message and that is what the film does right. It shows us what "The Christmas Season is Really About" it doesn't preach.. "It shows and not tells".
