Leave your thoughts about Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas.
| VarietyBrian LowryElf: Buddy's Musical Christmas suits the genre well, and suggests there is an alternative to simply running the sprockets off old holiday perennials. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchGail PenningtonIt's new, and even modern, but it has the warm heart and stop-motion style of holiday specials past. |
| Denver PostJoanne OstrowClever enough for adults, sweet enough for young kids and musically inventive enough to please the worst Scrooge. |
| Common Sense MediaEmily AshbyAnimated version of much-loved tale invites younger viewers. |
| New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyEvery little once in a while, a television special reminds us that the Christmas spirit can make the impossible come true. In Elf, for example, the goofiest guy on the planet gets kissed by a beautiful blond. Now that's what I'm talking about. |
| User ReviewMichael MThis is essentially an abridged version of the movie Elf done in the Rankin-Bass style of Christmas movies. I never liked the Rankin-Bass stuff, but I do like Elf, and the animation here is for the most part rather delightful. There's a few odd touches that kind of bugged me (Buddy's giraffe neck, the weird way background characters are all blue), but for the most part it works. The story is basically the same, just shorter, cutting out a lot of the subplots and rapidly speeding up certain character development moments. Some of the changes, like the final villains being the Naughty List-ers rather than those weirdass horseman of the apocalypse from the movie, I liked; others, like dramatically dumbing down Buddy's intelligence, I didn't. Buddy in the original movie was extremely naïve, but he wasn't stupid. In this version, he's a bit too dumb. Doesn't kill it, but definitely knocks it down a few pegs. In the end, this short special is charming. It's not great, not that funny, and not at all necessary, but it's cute and likable and I'm glad I saw it. |
| User ReviewRobert Greally didn't enjoy this one and thought it was a cheap knock off of the original but, it did have a nice cast |
| User ReviewGaspar OThis is an animated, kinda musical remake of Elf, that follows the storyline of Elf pretty closely. It just doesn't need to exist, but since it does, it was OK. Sheldon was fun. |
| User ReviewMark Wreally didn't enjoy this one and thought it was a cheap knock off of the original but, it did have a nice cast |
| User ReviewJeff DIt's not as good as the original but it's not bad. |
