Reviews for Santa vs. the Snowman
Fluffy, schizophrenic (there's liberal borrowing from both Care Bears and The Empire Strikes Back) and oddly annoying.

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
Its 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
The experience of watching blobby old-school CGI animation in this superlarge format is just surreal enough to be diverting.
11/08/02
Sweet-natured fun for the very young.

Top CriticThe movie has an avalanche of eye-popping visual effects.
11/14/02
A fun piece of on-the-edge filmmaking.
11/07/03
Harmless entertainment for kids and just smart enough to appeal to parents.
11/15/02
The holiday message of the 37-minute Santa vs. the Snowman leaves a lot to be desired.

Top CriticIf the film has a problem, its shortness disappoints: You want the story to go on and on.

Top CriticOdds are that your family will enjoy “Santa vs. the Snowman,” an oddball animated Christmas tale in IMAX.
11/17/04
An entertaining kids' diversion.

08/07/08
The action sequences are fun and reminiscent of combat scenes from the Star Wars series.
11/14/02
A bit of kid friendly seasonal cheer that is refreshingly without the usual lashings of schmaltz.
12/30/06
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
Despite lacking any truly breath-taking 3-D imagery, the film still looks good and has a good sense of humor.
11/09/02
Lacks ambition and wit.
12/16/02
It is best appreciated as an immersion in a three-dimensional toyland outfitted with enough whimsical gadgetry to fill a thousand playrooms.
