Its plodding competence can't provide that effortless magical touch that Christmas classics are made of.

It’s a decent holiday season film, suited to the six-to eight-year-old set.

For the most part this is an utterly enchanting film that deserves a place in the canon of holiday features that make their way to theaters, video and TV each year at this time.

Harrell's brash debut, the use of animism and the story's sincerity add interest.
