Le Noël des neuf chiens

I only saw this once and I'll say it again, IT'S JUST FOR THE KIDS! I know this is for Christmas and everybody loves to settle down to a nice family treat with lovable characters and heartwarming endings but if I may say so if you are over the age of 11, this isn't really your thing! The animation is not poor but nowhere near special. The plot is kind of predictable and the characters are cute, but not memorably cute! This is more of what I say an endurance test than a heartwarming family Yuletide classic! If you are looking for Xmas Classics I strongly recommend Elf (2003) with Will Ferrell, Home Alone (1990) with Macaulay Culkin or The Polar Express (2004) with Tom Hanks because I would think you will like them better! 4/10

Sure, it's for kids, but I'm no kid...well maybe an over=grown one or a kid at heart. Anyway, I liked this because the dogs were well characterized as individuals albeit stereotyped ones. The animation is standard and while nothing outstanding, it's sure adequate.James Earl Jones of course added his own sympathetic tones to the narration. It has a reasonably complicated enough plot for those at all age levels, so even if you're adult and feel silly watching something like this, grab a kid and watch it with him or her..he or she will love it and especially if you're a dog lover, you'll like it too, whether you want to admit it or not. Ho, ho, ho!

Just to let you know that this Movie has animal abuse, dog napping and dog trafficking. I found that some of the characters and some of the scenes in the Movie to be a little to much the same has other Movies, like The Grinch, 101 Dalmatians and Oliver and Company. I just felt that it was all blended into one Movie. And I found The plot was kind of predictable and got boring at times. The animation was okay bit It did seemed slow and off-set at times. the music was okay, I think that it went well with some of the scenes.

I think It was an okay Christmas Movie, I wouldn't watch it every Christmas. I probably would of liked it a lot more if I had watched it when I was younger.

I liked the voice over throughout the Movie, it got the story going and it made the Movie interesting. the characters were cute. I liked that each of the dogs has there own character and personalty. i liked that the story was about friendship and working together.
