Jenna Elfman, Trisha Yearwood, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and other luminaries contribute vocals to this animated children's holiday special featuring the inimitable Tangerine Bear.
If you have never seen this movie & are looking to add to your christmas movie collection....this is a must have. I'm not a big fan of cartoons or animated movies (so sue me, lol) however, this one I never tire of watching. I bought this a number of years ago when my first grandchild was two. She is eight now. We have had several copies starting with a VHS tape. She & her brothers love this movie & watch it all year long. It's a lovely story with a beautiful message. Basically about a christmas bear whose smile is sewn on upside down accidently at the factory and is therefore, overlooked on the christmas toy shelf. He is then sent to the castoff/clearance bin where he meets a host of other rejects who ultimately become a family. Can't say it enough. I love this movie, so glad I happened upon it years ago. Great story, clean, wholesome, great message, what more can you ask for.....
Ditto, all the comments preceding this one. My grandkids love this movie. For all those looking to add to their christmas movie collection, my suggestion for a great family "classic" is the Tangerine Bear, Home in Time for Christmas. I first bought this years ago when my first grandchild was about two. She watched this movie over & over even when it wasn't christmas time. She's eight now & still loves the story. So do her siblings. A great story about a christmas bear who's smile is accidently sewn on upside down at the factory and shipped out to the store for christmas. Unfortunately, nobody buys him and he is put in the clearance bin where he meets other "rejects". Among them, Jenna Elfman as the voice of a mermaid clock. Other characters played by Trisha Yearwood & Jonathan Taylor Thomas and other voices you may recognize. Just an adorable film. I've never been a huge fan of cartoons or animated films , even as a child. However, I can watch this one over & over too!!!
