The characters in this film were memorable in their mannerism's and comical in their expressions throughout. However, it felt as though there were too few characters in a script that perhaps wouldn't have taken long to put together. The film was drawn out and the storyline was simple, and somewhat vague.
The storyline could almost be missed, with the girl writing to Santa only being shown at the beginning and end of the film. Drawing on the girl more often would have reminded the audience of the reason the characters were going to so much effort. It would too have put the storyline back into the forefront of the audience's mind's.

I think this film was very well produced. It was perfect in getting me into the Christmas spirit. Entertaining for children, the whole family, and any older adults just wanting to believe in Santa again!!
