This movie is good for just sitting home and having something to watch. It kept my kids attention. The cast is actually fairly well known, I was surprised to see. Spoiler alert!...the movie says the sack was made from material from Jesus' swaddling clothes . I am not sure how I feel on this one. Although , there was a real st Nick ( factual in history) and a real Jesus ( factual in history) , I am not sure where that connection was from. Anyway, my kids enjoyed the movie and we talk about everything they watch so ... Worth a watch if looking for something to see one night on Netflix. But one more thing you need to like ( spoiler I guess ?) You need to like singing. There is a lot of singing.

I was shopping for a stocking stuffer around Christmas and ran into this DVD at a local shopping market. I was immediately amazed at the style and color of this Film. With the name Disney you have some tough shoes to fill,but this is Animation is great!!!! I would say more so on the Cartoon network style of 2D animation but it is Beautiful!!! I was amazed to see A cartoon that puts Jesus in a "Christmas" special these days! I bet that's going against the grain of some critics!I had no idea there was a Roy P.Disney. I really hope he keeps on making Animated films this was pure eye candy !!!! Its Beautiful!!! Highlyunder rated !!! Bravo!!!!!!!!! check it out!

Awful. Just awful. Although credit to the writers managing to make this both creepy AND boring. I really don't know how to write a long enough review on this tripe without resorting to "spoilers" The worst part was alleging that Santas sack is made from the same cloth that the baby Jesus was swaddled in when he was born. That really did it for me. My 3 year old liked it for about five minutes but even she got bored (and she will sit through The Smurfs on repeat if I let her) Don't bother if you come across this, it's really badly written, animated, scored - you name it. Although the villain is mildly amusing despite his terrible repertoire......

Santa's magic sack was made from Jesus' swaddling clothes? You can't just meld two mythological characters or themes like that. I love holiday specials and I don't mind the inevitable Christian-themed stories that appear along with the rest (Yuletide, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc.) But mixing them together in such a way is just silly and confusing for some younger viewers. I prefer holiday stories to stick with one branch of mythology or theme rather than trying to tie them together in one way or another in an attempt to give one emphasis over the other. Overall the movie was cute and my kids seemed to enjoy it for the most part, but I don't think I'll be adding this to our holiday favorites.
