I'm a Howard Stern fan and became an Artie fan when he replaced Jackie (F Jackie!). I went to this movie with the sole purpose of supporting Artie. The "T&A comedies about drunk party guys" genre is not usually what i PAY to see, but hey, it's either that or pay $13 a month to listen to Artie go crazy from utter failure... (come to think of it, that would have been classic radio!). I was very surprised at this movie! Sure there is the stuff you would expect to see, but I was shocked that some of it was touching. I cared about "Artie" and wanted things to work out with him and his girlfriend! The critics need to lighten up a bit, it never claimed to be Citizen Kane! I think it's far better than most movies of this type, and with the right word of mouth and a wider release(which it's getting thanks to good weekend box office numbers) it could find a place with such classics like Animal House and Caddyshack! I rooted for the good guys and hated the bad guy, and isn't that what going to the movies has been about for a hundred years? Now when is Beer League 2 coming....?
Throughout the 6 years The Nanny was on TV, it was a tribute to the classic sitcoms that came before it. She's paid tribute to everything from The Dick Van Dyke show..(Ann Guilbert who played Millie on there was Grandma Yetta), to Laverne and Shirley. What sitcom in the '90's featured Ray Charles, Donald O'Connor, Lanie Kazan, Shari Lewis & Lambchop, Carol Channing, Tyne Daley, Twiggy, Milton Berle .. the list goes on and on.
Given all that, it should be no surprise the Nanny Cartoon Christmas Special is a tribute to all the classic Holiday cartoons. In a matter of seconds, Fran (who is walking Chester the dog) gets dragged up and down the stairs, up to the bedroom and out the window, gets blown around outside, and hit on the head by a bell ringer's bell (Dorothy had it easy). This leads to the north pole, where Fran and Brighton (who has lost his Christmas spirit of giving) meet Santa and his elf (Mr. Sheffeild and Niles). The villain, as in the show, is CC the Abombinable Babcock (a big storm cloud).
It has some classic lines and moments.. My favorites.. FRAN: (commenting on everything at the north pole being edible) "It's a test.. I know it's a test" BRIGHTON: "...and it's all FREE!" FRAN: "I fail!"
(Fran sees Santa's castle and is impressed) THE ELF: "Well.. Santa is the second richest man in the North Pole" FRAN: "Who's the richest?" THE ELF: "The dentist" (Rimshot) (Fran and the Elf laugh) FRAN: "Is he single?"
(Fran confronts CC) FRAN: "LISTEN SWEETIE" (CC blows Fran away and into Santa's castle and lands on Mr. Sheffields desk) FRAN: (to CC) "We'll talk later honey"
I loved The Nanny from day one, and this has become one of my favorite holiday specials of all time!

I can't claim to be a huge Tim Burton fanatic, I really like his animated films. I think this is his best! Most of my comments will probably make those Burton devotees think about skipping this... DON'T! There's plenty sick corpse humor to keep you happy.
This film is pure artwork. Tim Burton has discovered the other 60 or so crayons in the jumbo box. Very often I found myself thinking it was computer animated! There's almost a Disney feel to the movements of the Corpse Bride... 'til the magical last frame of film. You'll know what I mean when you see it. Where Shrek thought it was hip to do a bit a Disney bashing, this film is a tribute to all that is great about fairy tales. Full of wonder... drama... mystery... humor and love! Every studio who releases animated films should study this one good. Most "family" films are made for kids, with those pop culture references to keep adults from going stir crazy! I sat in a theater where adult couples, twenty somethings and families with kids were all laughing at the same parts! Nothing too scary.. if your kid can handle Beetlejuice, they'll love this! Too bad there's a separate Animation category at the Oscars... This could have found itself the 2nd animated movie in history nominated for Best Picture! Go see it again and again and again!
