Santa vs. the Snowman 3D (2002)
Not cute or light holiday fare
We chose to see this movie as an alternative to The Polar Express showing at our local IMAX theater. What a waste of time and money! First, it is not cute. The Snowman, at times, looked demonic. Other times, he was simply a zombie. He showed no expression or emotions most of the time, and his hollow blue eyes were just creepy.
Secondly, Santa states in the beginning it's a movie about the spirit of giving. Santa and a snowman declaring war on each other is a movie about giving? I'm all for a little parody, but this just wasn't funny or entertaining.
The idea that the Snowman's flute is his voice is different. Too bad you never see or hear the snowman play his flute...not even a "thank you" to Santa.
The only funny parts of the movie were the "outtakes" at the end of the film. Too bad they didn't use them in the movie. It would have been better.

Please don't waste your kids' time
This is such a loser movie. Don't get me wrong -- Great graphics. First half of the movie is cute. Good song choices. The whole bit about the big, bad ugly humans that ruin everything for the perfect, pure, innocent little penguins still has me steamed. Don't the producers realize that zoos are used to research and better help our wildlife while trying to generate public interest in our environment? It seems that the pure, perfect, innocent little penguins are in danger of becoming extinct because of our slovenly, selfish ways. Pollution. Overharvestation of our resources. Global warming. You name it. We're at fault. We're no good. If you want your kids brainwashed, then, by all means take them to see this movie.
