I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

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!

The art style was fun. I thought the voice of Sophiana was very good. That about wraps up my positive comments.The story was predictable and lame. The music was inexcusably awful. I have to leave the room anytime my 2 year old wants to watch this. Half the time it sounds like the accompaniment (which is sparse and boring) belongs to some other song; it just doesn't feel like it matches the melody, which is also boring. Here, let me sing a bit for you...Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah....There.Yes, my 2 year old likes this, but she likes a lot of stuff, and I prefer that she watches something else. I don't want her to grow up musically crippled. I also don't want her to grow up thinking that Santa has a sack made from baby Jesus' clothes. Oh,... and I always laugh when they talk about Santa's sack. They talk about that a lot.

To start off with, i wasn't thinking too much about this movie going in. I had never heard of this film and the only reason i knew of its existence was because of my local Redbox. However, the Christmas season came upon me and i decided to give it a shot. and to be honest, i was completely shocked. not only did i like this movie, but i loved it so much i went out and bought it the next day. This movie is really adorable. Now normally i can find little girl characters in Christmas movies to be annoying brats. ( A good example of this is that irritating little girl from The Santa Clause 3) However, not only was i not repulsed by Sophianna in this film, i thought she was completely adorable and wanted to give her a big "it'll all be OK" hug. Pretty much to the point that, if she were real, "I" would have adopted her myself. haha. This movie's vocal cast was great as well. i loved Norm as the fox, it just fit perfectly. the lesson was cute and the story was very original. i actually thought the twist with Santa's magic sack was really cool and original. The only reason why this movie doesn't get higher than an 8 is for one simple reason. The songs....weren't that great to be honest. While the plot, characters, and voices were all great, a lot of the songs left much to be desired. Other than that though, this was a great Christmas movie which i have already added to my collection and i really wish it DID had a theatrical release. Oh well, i guess i'll have to be satisfied with it on DVD. However, Christmas is here again really brings out the joy of Christmas, with 8 magical bags, out of 10
