A Disappointing Continuation

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

First, I have to say I saw this a few years ago and not since. I do have to say the dialogue is incredibly corny, even for the youngest kids. The boy's dog was named ''Dofus'' simply for a punch line in the end that goes ''Dufus, you're a genius!'' with jokes like that, this film couldn't possibly made it to a major studio. Or TV. But it did. Oh, well.

Granted that I loved this special when I was about six, now as I watched it again I realized that it was the biggest piece of rubbish I'd ever seen. The characters are one dimensional, the plot goes back and forth, the song transitions look like someone tried their least and came out with this abomination, and the only thing that redeems this crap fest is the animation. For a low budget (and I mean REALLY low budget), names never heard around the household as leads, and a horrible song to go around with it, it keeps kind of a pretty good feel from the animation.If you've seen this then you've probably witnessed the horrors of this program. Every time they show this on TV I try my best to either look for a better show or look at it from a different perspective. However, every single time I try to look at it a different way, it gets worse. Now back to the animation, it is really smooth. It renders well and it looks like walking, running, skating, blading, etc. when you see it. But that only saves it from getting a complete and utter 0. Humour got run over a reindeer and it never recovered.

This movie is really bad, but really funny because of it. Yes the plot is rather stupid but most Christmas films are not exactly plausible or in this case, "clausible". HA HA. The songs are also lame, but still funny. They also seem to have added extra ones that branch of ideas from the original. The jokes are not that hard to get, there isn't really any violence or foul language...just fine for the kids. The animations are fine, doesn't have to be CGI to be considered good. Don't know why this movie is being trashed so badly, it's not by far the worst holiday one out there. We look forward to seeing this every year and hope they keep airing it. If you haven't watched it out yet, definitely look for a copy on Amazon or YouTube.

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.
