Kevin Maher Times (UK) It’s soulful and gentle, and possibly the most Christmassy movie of the season so far. Rated: 4/5 Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian It’s all very charming: as cosy as crumpets in front of an open fire. But the film-makers are really pushing it, by stretching out the book’s 30-odd pages into 80 minutes of screen time. Rated: 3/5 Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Gissane Sophia Marvelous Geeks Media The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland is a wholesome, fascinating little twist on Alice in Wonderland, with lovely voice acting from all its stars. Dec 21, 2024 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media Delightful and inventive, this Christmas animation is an enchanting throwback in both style and story. Dec 9, 2024 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee The characters rush around spouting irritating rhymes but never do anything worth paying attention to. Rated: C Dec 3, 2024 Full Review Calum Baker Radio Times Much of the film's appeal and humour rests firmly with the under-10s bracket, but it still promises a jolly good time for any adults in the room. Rated: 3/5 Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Susan M I enjoyed the movie a lot. It was fun and puts you in the holiday spirit. The music is fun and makes you want to sing along. And the actors singing nailed it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Shannon A My 10yo daughter and I love this movie. All of the songs are very fun and catchy, the story is very sweet, but also quite funny. It's now a Christmas classic for us to enjoy every year! Could see this being a great stage musical as well. The whole cast was great but Santa really shines, and the pessimistic reindeer are pretty hilarious. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Ian N Bearing in mind that it is aimed at children it is quite enjoyable. The rhymes are a bit annoying. However, the 12 crimes of Christmas song is definitely a high point. I think it is well worth a watch at least once. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Schwinnilla C the songs are annoying and noxious...started and couldn't finish and that speaks volumes because i'm a christmas whore and will watch anything and everything Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review 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!
