Critic Reviews for Saving Santa

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (5)

On this evidence, Santa's sadly not worth saving.

Observer (UK)
I watched it with a nine-year-old who said: "This film is so annoying I want to kick it!"

Charlotte O'Sullivan
London Evening Standard
Much like a Christmas present you quickly get bored with, Joosen and Seelman festive folly will quickly fade from memory.

CineVue
Warm-hearted animated elf story with mild violence.

Renee Schonfeld
Common Sense Media
The colourful, simplified computer-generated animation will be easy on the eye for youngsters ( ... ) that the singing is sometimes less polished than parts of Mamma Mia! won't matter to older toddlers.

Graham Young
Birmingham Mail
Voiced by a recognisable cast, Saving Santa is a pleasant and well-timed festive animation, but its unsophisticated storyline, general lack of humour and substandard soundtrack ultimately let it down.
