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

This movie is just upsetting to see how they treat a poor puppy but also the adults/children in this movie are ridiculous/mean/self centered/ridged 🙄 my toddler liked the movie so ill give it two stars for that.

Wow, I can't believe the people around Mariah Carey even allowed her to produce and star in this her own vanity project. Hidden under the guise about a little girl named "Mariah" (no surprise there) who agrees with her dad to take care of a somewhat rogue puppy with the agreement that if she is capable of showing she is responsible enough by first taking good care of this rambunctious mutt she can then go back to the pet shop and buy the purebred dog she really wants.

I don't think there were many scenes in this film that Mariah does not narrate, sing, and/or feature in the scenes. Heck even in the closing so called "credits" as the list of names is scrolled through all we get to see is the adult Mariah Carey playing in the snow singing one of her songs. I would much rather have seen the actual people behind the other voices in this animated Christmas special, but no, we are subjugated to watching the Princess Mariah frolic in the white snow in her red coat all alone as her voice is heard singing the movies theme song.

The best line in this Mariah vanity project which was supposed t be a children's animated Christmas special was "The End".

I give it a 4 out of 10 IMDB rating

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.

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.
