Reviews for Santa vs. the Snowman
A bit of kid friendly seasonal cheer that is refreshingly without the usual lashings of schmaltz.
12/30/06
Fluffy, schizophrenic (there's liberal borrowing from both Care Bears and The Empire Strikes Back) and oddly annoying.
11/18/05
A mildly diverting seasonal entry that should amuse the small fry while giving their parents a couple of chuckles and a few perplexing moments.
11/29/04
Sweet-natured fun for the very young.
11/24/04
Top Criticone twisted, hilarious and visually stunning IMAX 3D short film that could stand toe-to-toe with the wackiest episode of South Park (minus the vulgarity)
11/21/04
Odds are that your family will enjoy “Santa vs. the Snowman,” an oddball animated Christmas tale in IMAX.
11/17/04
This film is a tongue-in-cheek story about a nameless Snowman at the North Pole who declares war on Santa because of jealousy.
05/26/04
Oedekerk ... and his team have taken the traditional animation techniques to another level -- creating snowflakes that seem to fall into the audience -- and they pull the viewers into the film.
11/28/03
Top CriticA fun piece of on-the-edge filmmaking.
11/07/03
An entertaining kids' diversion.
03/10/03
Lacks ambition and wit.
12/16/02
The film has a few cute ideas and several modest chuckles but it isn’t exactly kiddie-friendly… Alas, Santa is more ho-hum than ho-ho-ho and the Snowman (who never gets to play that flute) has all the charm of a meltdown.
12/08/02
Harmless entertainment for kids and just smart enough to appeal to parents.
11/15/02
Top CriticThe action sequences are fun and reminiscent of combat scenes from the Star Wars series.
11/14/02
Top CriticThe movie has an avalanche of eye-popping visual effects.
11/14/02
Top CriticDespite lacking any truly breath-taking 3-D imagery, the film still looks good and has a good sense of humor.
11/09/02
It is best appreciated as an immersion in a three-dimensional toyland outfitted with enough whimsical gadgetry to fill a thousand playrooms.
11/08/02
Top CriticIts frequently clever script has appeal for kids, who won't understand the innuendo, and parents, who are likely to note that, at 32 minutes, Santa doesn't overstay its welcome.
11/08/02
A dazzling thing to behold -- as long as you're wearing the somewhat cumbersome 3D goggles the theater provides.
