A Superb All Time Top 10 Christmas Family Movie

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2013)

This movie has become a Christmas 'must see' every year in our house. I'm astounded by some reviewers stating it's too long or too scary. My son has watched it from the age of 5 and loves it just as much now as then and has never for one moment been scared or got bored by it. It is a wonderful movie capturing everything I hold dear about Christmas, the magic,the feeling of excitement and anticipation. It is not a slushy film but a firm and steadfast adventure with morality that isn't force fed to the audience. I thoroughly recommend this film to anyone young or old who have traditional values of what Christmas means. I have deliberately not gone into technical aspects of the film as some movies should be enjoyed for what they are, not the boring CGI specifications or pixel prattling that neither adds nor detracts to the enjoyment. Enjoy this film for exactly what it was designed to be, a wonderful Christmas time story.
