We Can Make It

you may think it's a remake of the 1960's christmas special

it's christmas eve today and i thought i might like to post a comment on a christmas movie like this one. if your in the mood for christmas movie's with animated theme's why not check this out

ever since i heard about this movie a year ago i thought it might be crazy to see a remake of the 1960's animated t.v. classic but when an ad popped up in my newspaper in october i was completely shocked that it was not a remake of the t.v. special but throughout the christmas season a lot of company's promoted this thing

so how could a movie from a low budget company go into limited release bomb at the box office go to video so quickly plus, have promotions for SEARS,PILLSBURY,T.V., AND EVEN A FLOAT IN THE MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE it's a mystery but i may never know

i saw some part's of this movie on the disney channel. my favorite character is slyly (who is voiced by ERIC IDLE) who has the attitude of tom green meets jim carrey but when you listen to his voice it does not sound like eric idle i don't know why but i didn't know he can learn an english accent

so if you see this in the video store go check out and believe me you will not be disappointed MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
