Probably the best Santa movie ever.
Don't worry about the cliche'd story which in places is as twee as Hollywood twee can be, forget about the CGI reindeer (which are OK) and the Mogwai (Gremlins) on steroids like Elves (which are also fine), what sets this film apart from just about every other 'Santa' film is a truly powerhouse acting performance from Kurt Russell as Santa.
He's not your old fashioned typical 'Santa' (thank goodness) and despite it's sentimentalism this is the best 'Santa' film in years (if not ever).
Watched it with my wife and 11 year old grandson and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
Loved the lovely twist at the end when Santa's wife shows up.

Has to be the worst animated film for many a year.
A plot so flimsy the least breath of wind would blow it away, a 'fire breathing dragon' that is never seen to breath fire, animation that's so bad it gives the world of animation a bad name and voice 'characters' that are so awful most sound like the 'actors' are trying to replicate characters with speech impediments.
Avoid this like the plague, sometimes some movies can be so bad they turn out to be quite good (usually on a comedic scale) but honestly this really is so bad it's bad.
