John Serba Decider The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland is a diverting charmer of a family Christmas movie. It has its moments but it’s not likely to be a classic. Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies There's a real charm to the movie's look and tone, but The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland is so set in its storybook storytelling that it's just a bit too simplistic...

Ranny L The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland is a mashup of upbeat music, the twists and turns of Wonderland, and the holiday spirit! It's perfect for families and it definitely brought up some Christmas memories for me The film follows the story of St. Nick (Gerard Butler) on Christmas day as he gets ready to deliver presents. He receives a last-minute letter from the Princess of Hearts (Eliza Riley) who requests a special present, her own special pet. Despite being warned of the twisted Wonderland by his reindeer, St. Nick goes on a musical journey to fulfill the princess's wish. But on arrival, he has to face the Christmas hating, Queen of Hearts (Emilie Clark) and try to teach her what Christmas is all about. The main characters are St. Nick, Alice (Simone Ashley), Prancer (Mae Muller) and the Queen of Hearts! I love how the music is super catchy and fits the holiday theme, but it also gives you a little something to dance to. I love the fun combination of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Clement Clarke Moore's poem "Twas the Night Before Christmas." The story is well-developed. The animation is unique, especially since it is not a style you see much today; it's a line-drawn style that is reminiscent of older-style holiday films. I got to speak with Gerard Butler who plays St. Nick, and he told me about how special this movie is for him. It can definitely impact people who may have lost the Christmas spirit and remind them what Christmas is all about -- having a great time during the holidays with their families. Just like the Queen of Hearts who has lost her faith in the holidays and developed a large hatred for them is helped by St. Nick who allows her to feel better and lose her bitterness. This film reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas and allows viewers to become immersed in the happiness and fun of Christmas. I give The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. It is streaming now on Hulu. By Tiana S., KIDS FIRST!

It is a charming and adorable movie. What I love is that whilst it is simple in its storytelling it is engaging enough to keep older children and adults entertained and charmed as well. Ideal for the whole family to watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
