Leave your thoughts about Santa vs. the Snowman.
| Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttIf the film has a problem, its shortness disappoints: You want the story to go on and on. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneArthur SalmFluffy, schizophrenic (there's liberal borrowing from both Care Bears and The Empire Strikes Back) and oddly annoying. |
| Chicago TribuneDonald LiebensonThe movie has an avalanche of eye-popping visual effects, including a bustling Santa's village, nifty "Jimmy Neutron"-type gadgets and "Stars Wars"-like igloo walking robots - and, of course, the requisite heartwarming happy ending. |
| Empire MagazineNatasha AitkenA bit of kid friendly seasonal cheer that is refreshingly without the usual lashings of schmaltz. |
| Boston GlobeCatherine FosterTakes you inside a kingdom you've never seen the likes of before. Not only is it an IMAX film, with all the superlatives (six-story screen, 12,000 seat-rumbling watts of digital sound) this implies, but it's also computer-generated 3D animation. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookOdds are that your family will enjoy "Santa vs. the Snowman," an oddball animated Christmas tale in IMAX. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyThe lively visuals, busy story, zippy pace and TV show running time will make this go down very easily with the target moppet audience. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardSanta Claus and the Snowman stage a scaled-down "Star Wars"-type battle for the rights to Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve in the pleasantly goofy, irreverent Santa vs. the Snowman. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsThe film has a few cute ideas and several modest chuckles but it isn't exactly kiddie-friendly... Alas, Santa is more ho-hum than ho-ho-ho and the Snowman (who never gets to play that flute) has all the charm of a meltdown. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternThis is sweet-natured fun for the very young. |
