disgusting, overrated, pointless

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Now people who follow my comments on IMDb will know that I can be quite harsh and very honest, but without people like me, thousands of hours of time on this planet would be wasted staring vacantly at the television screen. I sat through this film in tears. Not because I was moved by the story or had my heart strings pulled by the music.. because 1 million dollars were scribbled on, burnt and ripped to shreds to make this animated car crash. What was the million dollars spent on? WHO KNOWS! It's completely mysterious at first where the budget went.. The music was awful - it sounded like it was the demo song from a budget synthesizer. Even my cat was terrified by the quality of the music. The worst part is the narration, by the grey haired guy who plagues our airways at night.. jay Leno. It was just the icing on the cake. The film was dreadful and I hope it will never find it's way back onto my TV in the next 100 years. The only good thing was when it finished.

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.

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.

We all grew up watching the classic animated Christmas movies we all know and love. Though these are timeless, it's been disappointing to see that, over the years, less and less legitimate, worthy animated Christmas movies are coming out. Watching "Christmas is Here Again" completely restored my faith in this nostalgic genre. The voice acting by both seasoned and rookie actors and actresses is superior. Madison Davenport is surely going to be the next huge young female actress. Robert Zappia (writer/director) does an unbelievable job creating a compelling, wholesome, fun, hilarious animated Christmas movie that'll be in my library for a very long time. The music is great, the characters are lovable, the story is inspirational and original.Go buy this movie and make it a holiday tradition in your family. I know my family will be watching this for years to come!
