Rather disappointing

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Being very fond of the Oscar-winning short The ChubbChubbs! from whence this awful thing sprang, I had somewhat high expectations of this one. Sadly, the ChubbChubb's went from being these cool, carnivorous little creatures that strike fear into all aliens to nothing more that miniature, yellow versions of the Tasmanian Devil. Meeper doesn't have much to do here -- only participating in the overly-used plot of delivering gifts in Santa's place and, hence, saving "Xmas." Who uses the term "Xmas" anymore?! Another obligatory & mediocre "sequel" to an original, that is really good. If you want to watch a funny, animated Christmas short, check out the Madagascar Penguins in "A Christmas Caper." It is so much better.
