Alexander V. @lilduckmang Nov 23 Excellent movie! A good one to add to the Christmas movie rotation. See more michael d 12/19/2021 Fairly dark and definitely bizarre holiday TV flick. See more 12/19/2020 I love this movie. Saw it on Network TV when Disney had their Sunday night show on ABC. Searched for it for years until I finally found it on Amazon. Ed Asner is excellent and it is very heartwarming. Love the beginning when you hear the Crystals sing, SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN. I try to watch it every Christmas season. See more s r @ScottR 06/01/2020 Saw on Disney +. It had some potential, but it was hard to get through. Overall I hope I don't see it again. See more 12/11/2018 Very good movie.
