nerfball_king Thought this might be funny, but unfortunately this crummy movie is just shockingly sloppy in stereotypes, pathetic animation, terrible music and unlikable characters. It's difficult to explain how bad this is, or even what the supposed plot is (there's an evil cousin Mel who is trying to steal the store from the kind-hearted Grandma from the title song), but if you've made it through the first 10 minutes of this abortion of an animated special, you can figure out what's going to happen. Of course, if you can make it that far, you might want to make sure you are still alive and have not been banished to a netherworld of lousy television programming. This movie is inappropriate for children, and for anyone with good taste.

athoswhite If we really want to get serious and find Osama Bin Laden, then we should take this stinker down to Gitmo and force the detainees to watch it. They'll be singing within minutes. Of course, I'm sure that making them watch this god-awful dreck violates the Geneva Convention in several ways. Look, my 5 year old daughter isn't allowed to watch TV at home. So take her to her grandparents or cousins and she's a little TV zombie. She got up and walked away after about ten minutes. That's how bad this is. You know, when the person responsible for this garbage was a young writer, I bet he or she had dreams of the great American novel. Now they have to look in the mirror every morning with the realization that they wrote what is possibly the worst hour of television in the history of the medium.And we wonder why the rest of the world hates us...

AlrightGuy I like a good novelty song. No, I take that back. I love a good novelty song. I absolutely despise GGROBAR on the other hand, and have from the first note I ever heard. When I found out someone had made a cartoon based on it, my head almost exploded. Now that I have seen it because my kids begged me, I wish my head had exploded. It would have saved me from the excruciating misery that was this cr@pfest. First of all, making an hour long show based on a three minute novelty song is a ridiculous idea. To stretch a song like this, which had to pad like crazy just to be that long, into an entire hour, is even more ludicrous. This was poorly written, cheaply animated, poorly acted...the list goes on and on. Dear God, is this ever bad.

houndra Horrid...Truly horrid. The movie revolves around some kid who, by then SHOULD HAVE outgrown Santa. His personality is completely one-dimensional and his catchphrase is "yeeeeeasssssssss!!!". his family isn't much better. Granny has an irritating voice and at least is mildly entertaining (but not much). The evil salesman and his ugly sidekick are both as cookie-cutter as you can get. Santa's nothing new, and grandpa looks like some ripoff of the Disney Gepetto. With that out of the way, I'll go on about the story.Once again, Christmas is just some big spend-fest. Religion isn't mentioned ONCE. I grew up in a Christain family and went to a Christain school, and I can tell you, I do NOT like ChristiansBut I still respect them. You know why? Because they're just living the way that they see as right. Christmas is not about giving. It's not about getting. It's about the birth of Jesus and that is the way it is. Giving is just a tradition that commemorates the 3 gifts presented on that holy day. Santa thinks he can cancel a holiday just because some people don't acknowledge him. When he's found to be real, you'd think people would've been more surprised. So Christmas is portrayed as "Santa Day", celebrating some guy that doesn't exist.The songs are bad. Too bad to talk even more about. And the acting is even worse. I don't even know how they got a few pros to do this chunk of crap. The story is just completely unoriginal and the jokes...That was the ONE THING that got unjust treatment. Had the jokes been in a different movie, they would've been pretty good. The animation...If you can call it that, looks like it wasn't even drawn by hand. The character's chins wouldn't move when speaking, the tongues looked terrible, it wasn't inbetweened. They didn't even get good artists! I could do better...And that's no exaggeration. I mean it. I'm 14 an I could draw AT LEAST 10 times better.Really. Stay away from this, at all costs.
