Delightful Animated Christmas Movie

Just watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a simple but sweet story about what we do all year determines what gifts Santa will bring. So it isn’t about saving Christmas so much as being about how we treat each other. It is also about how our own attitude can determine whether we will be happy or angry all the time.

Gerard Butler’ voices Santa who is a wise klutz. Lovable but getting into scrapes all the time. Fortunately, he has elves and very smart reindeer to help him when he gets in over his head. Butler uses his strong voice so effectively that I now understand why How To Train Your Dragon garnered rave reviews. Now I must watch that.

Emilia Clark voices the Red Queen of hearts who is effectively grumpy when needed but never too terrifying for children to watch.

The animation is fun to watch. I highly recommend this Christmas feature.
