Worth watching at least once! not missing much,

Beethoven's Christmas Adventure (2011).

Yes. this series is still going, This is the seventh movie in the series and the last in the series at the moment.

I had no idea there was Seven, I knew there were Five movies in this series and sixth must of went pass me.

I have only seen the First two movies in full, I seen bits of 3 and 4 but never in full.

There first few seconds of this movie, starts off like a Cartoon, about a Elf who makes a mistake sets off Santa Slay also fall in it.

There live action starts In this movie Beethoven's Is know as Famous dog that see the Slay in the Sky and tries to help the elf who fallen of it.

There two men workers, who steal toys and then come across the Santa Bag, which bring out anything.

Elf asks Beethoven to help, so he licks this Candy, that makes Beethoven' talk to him, Yes they make Beethoven talk in this sequel , the only sequel in talks in.

This movie could have had been very funny, there some decent ideas but they could have made it more appealing to adults, this movie was little too silly, even for kids may find it bit silly.

This movie gets way to silly near the end, where they make Beethoven fly the slay!, Really!.

No were near as good as first two movies, I not seen any of the others sequels, so I don't know , if this is the worst of series.

I think it was a least worth watching movie.
