My kids found this movie at Best Buy a couple of days ago and after pleading with me to buy it for them, I agreed. I'm so glad that I did; finally, a holiday movie that has meaning to it. The plot to this film is original; it seeks to inspire children and families alike. The characters in the film are great... I particularly enjoyed Brad Garrett as the Bear and Norm McDonald as the Fox. What a great pair that provides some good humor! Andy Griffin as Santa and Shirley Jones as Mrs. Claus cannot be beaten. Madison Davenport as Sophianna was exceptional; what an incredible voice on such a young girl. Davenport really shines in this movie. Hope to see more form her soon!! This film is sure to become an instant hit; go out and buy this to share with your kids and family this holiday season.
