Heart Warming

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2014)

This movie came out when I was ten and I've loved it ever since. I'm twenty now and it's Christmas time, I just finished watching it with my sister and I've fallen in love with it all over again. Sure, the facial expression need a little work but everything else about it, in my opinion, is great.
It's a great Christmas adventure but it is a little creepy. These children, taken away from their homes in in the middle of the night. The hobo is creepy and I had many a nightmare about the scrooge doll when I was younger. To me, this just adds to the enjoyment because in the end, everything was okay. It added to the excitement and sense of urgency.
Of course, Hero boy won the first present of the year though I'm not so sure he deserved it. I have always thought, and still do, that the little girl deserved the first gift but the fact that he could hear the bell long into adulthood is heartwarming.
Overall, this movie isn't without its flaws and I don't think any movie is but it's great Christmas film.
