Featured reviews
Chippey doesn't really do anything except fly back and forth from the North Pole to the McTuttle's house. That's true. Taylor seems to rediscover what Christmas is about but I wasn't entirely sure why or how an elf on the shelf helped him to do that. Of course, that's all explained by Santa, who says that scout elves never make people believe because that has to come from within the person. No argument, but I saw nothing that would have made Taylor think twice.
The show includes some appropriate holiday messages about not being selfish and being forgiving. One can't argue with that, of course. The animation was nothing special - somewhat similar to the type of animation found in "Rudolf." Christmas message aside, this still struck me as being too much of a marketing ploy for "The Elf On The Shelf." (3/10)
The special is horrible and serves as nothing more than a commercial for the Elf On The Shelf dolls and book. When the Scout Elves are sent out, they are packed in a box that comes with a book similar to the ones the product comes in (as if the special keeps screaming out that it's serving as nothing more than a half hour advertisement for a stupid elf doll meant to spy on kids for Santa). Also, the boy, Taylor, sounds like one who deserves his place on the naughty list, as he wants to call Chippy horrible names like Stinkypants, and only changing after his sisters tattle on him for touching Chippy (because of the belief that touching the elf causes him or her to lose his or her magic, which is lame as the elf is just a doll). I recommend avoiding this commercial in favor of specials with better morals and not selling something.

Santa Claus: How are you coming along, Chippey?
Chippy: I let you down, Santa. I tried to make Taylor believe and it didn't work. None of it. I-I couldn't do it, Santa.
Santa Claus: No, you couldn't, and no scout elf ever could. You can't make someone believe, Chippey. All you could do is be there. The rest is up to them. Christmas is what we carry in our hearts.
Santa Claus: [hands Chippey Taylor's note] I think you should see this.
Taylor McTuttle: [voice-over on note] Dear, Santa. I was not very nice to Chippey. I think I may have taken his magic away. Please tell Chippey I'm sorry. Taylor McTuttle.
Chippy: [astonished] This-this is from Taylor? Taylor McTuttle?
Santa Claus: Ho, ho, ho! Indeed.
Chippy: [amazed] Santa, he-he wrote me. He-he feels sorry, and, Santa, this is amazing!
Chippy: [flying off after getting his magic back] I've got to get back to my family. See you soon, Santa!
Santa Claus: Ho, ho, ho! Go, Chippey, go!
