Mariah Carey Présente: Mon plus beau cadeau de Noël

Review Date 4/8/2019

I Have Reviewed OVER 500 "Christmas Films and Specials". Please BEWARE Of films and specials with just one review! For instance When "It's a POSITIVE" chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. "If its Negative" then they may have a grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare about these films.

All I Want For Christmas Is You (also known as Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You) is a 2017 direct-to-video computer-animated Christmas film based on the song by Mariah Carey and the book by Carey herself and Colleen Madden. The film stars the voices of Mariah Carey, Breanna Yde, and Henry Winkler.

Young Mariah (Breanna Yde) desperately wants a puppy for Christmas, but her parents are not convinced that she should have one. They agree to let Mariah dog-sit the puppy Jack (Dee Bradley Baker) and if she can take care of Jack, then she can have a dog of her very own.

The animation is very strange to me. However the story is cute. This is not the greatest Christmas family movie but it is enjoyable (Once). The story centers around a girl and a dog and you can't help but loving that little dog.

This Christmas film would not complete without a message and that is what the film does right. It shows us what "The Christmas Season is Really About" it doesn't preach.. "It shows and not tells".

This movie is just upsetting to see how they treat a poor puppy but also the adults/children in this movie are ridiculous/mean/self centered/ridged 🙄 my toddler liked the movie so ill give it two stars for that.

This movie has been so underrated by a few viewers. Mariah thought that Princess was her perfect dog but it ended up being Jack. This movie is good for all ages and I totally recommend watching it.

No wait I meant kid yourself! The song was written about ... well not pets! I'm certain of that. But it is being used here to tell a story of a girl (Mariah), who wants not just a dog for Christmas, but her dream dog. Now when I saw this on Prime, I thought "you've got to be kidding me, yes?". But they weren't and I have to admit, it is not half as bad as I expected this to be.

It is of course aimed mainly at the very young ones. But it has a social message amongst all the mayhem it does create. And with the main/theme song being as great as it is ... what can go wrong? The movie may not be anywhere near top standards animation wise, but it does have its heart in the right place. If you are a cynic (I kind think I am too, but apparently I do have a heart - which occasionally works), you may feel differently ... just be aware what this is and what it tries to achieve. This nothing more, but also nothing less

Wow, I can't believe the people around Mariah Carey even allowed her to produce and star in this her own vanity project. Hidden under the guise about a little girl named "Mariah" (no surprise there) who agrees with her dad to take care of a somewhat rogue puppy with the agreement that if she is capable of showing she is responsible enough by first taking good care of this rambunctious mutt she can then go back to the pet shop and buy the purebred dog she really wants.

I don't think there were many scenes in this film that Mariah does not narrate, sing, and/or feature in the scenes. Heck even in the closing so called "credits" as the list of names is scrolled through all we get to see is the adult Mariah Carey playing in the snow singing one of her songs. I would much rather have seen the actual people behind the other voices in this animated Christmas special, but no, we are subjugated to watching the Princess Mariah frolic in the white snow in her red coat all alone as her voice is heard singing the movies theme song.

The best line in this Mariah vanity project which was supposed t be a children's animated Christmas special was "The End".

I give it a 4 out of 10 IMDB rating
