This witty, handsomely appointed 3-D animated feature is the most delightful Santa biopic since Edmund Gwenn donned the fat suit.

Nov 17, 2015Inventive Brit bit about the life at the North Pole where the Claus family is at odds with one another, each with their own particular and opposing viewpoints. Can they leave their differences and unite to save Christmas? Of course they do, its a Christmas movie f'cryingoutloud. The fun is in the getting there, and there's plenty of that here. You will believe a reindeer can fly. No, really. They can. Its how Santa gets around. Whatta you mean you don't believe?!?Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Jan 13, 2014I personally encourage Sarah Smith to work independently... Sony Pictures Animation is a very uneven studio. Their quality varies throughout the time, and they do not seem to be engaging in the learning curve, that is, which each new project, they do not seem to learn how to adapt themselves to the new times. That means that each new project they release require an act of faith from the audience, given the unpredictability of the final outcome. Some Harry Potter cast actresses and actors along with other some famous names were not enough to make of this something even entertaining. In the end, it comes as an absolutely unforgettable ride with forced humor, failed sentimentalism and the most disturbing features of all: Justin Bieber singing in the ending credits!! Oh, shit! Cover your ears and run! 46/100Edgar C Super Reviewer
