best movie i've ever seen.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
This selection just gets better and better upon repeated viewings!How many selections can that be said of? I've not seen it in 3D or at an IMax theater, (where it has been shown). Now it is available in DVD, but I saw it when it first aired in 1997. Watch it with your children, watch it with the neighbor kids, watch it with your pets. Try and entice "adults"? to watch it. Of course they might not immediately "love" it upon first viewing. However, every time I see it, I notice something else. Yes, it does have a little conflict, but war? I hardly would call shooting marshmallows and snowballs war. The looks on their faces, the figures themselves, the story, all produce mirth.
I stumbled across this by accident. The network didn't publicize it at all. Fortunately I had a tape sitting in the VCR because otherwise I would have gone hoarse recreating the show for my friends.It is hysterical. It gets funnier on repeated viewings. And when one hits the "freeze frame" button and examines the background details, you find even more jokes!Frankly, you'd have to be dead inside not to see this as a fun flick for everyone, kids included! The website http://www.dnahelix.com/santa.html has a lot of images to download. It also mentions a DVD release in 2003, but that has apparently not happened yet. Maybe they're waiting for an Xmas release?
Overall, it was an excellent movie. It had great 3d animation, and an interesting story line (I won't give it away, you'll have to see yourself). A twisted sense of humor combined with the spirit of Christmas produced a truly unique product.
I loved this! The animation was excellent, there were take-offs galore, and the creator's twisted sense of humor is a delight to behold. I won't spoil the surprises, though. The voice actors did very well (atypical for American animation), and the sound effects were well done, too.I haven't seen it since it was on TV.
