Christmas is my favorite time of year and so I have a particular soft spot for Christmas movies and this might very well be my favorite Christmas production of all time. Apparently the use of adults playing kids isn't done to be quirky or meant to serve any point, but simply done out of necessity as it's very low budget. In the end it just adds to the charm. You can tell everybody is fully committed and gives it their all. All done in the spirit of giving as a xmas movie should be. The end result is a joyous, lovable and whimsical film. You are even treated to some cute and kooky animation.
On the one hand I'd love to see a remake with a bigger budget and on another I'd worry it might lose something in the process. As it is, it's a very special Christmas gift.
