I just watched Santa's Little Ferrets with my five year old niece. We both loved it. My niece had never heard of ferrets before and she thought they were adorable - especially when they were scampering around in their Christmas bow ties. Kudos to the writers for coming up with an original, heartwarming story that appeals to a broad audience. The goofy, inventive dad reminded me of Dick Van Dyke's character in the classic kids movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I thought the actors were perfectly cast for their roles and delivered authentic performances. I'm not sure who was more adorable, the ferrets or the actors who played the brother and sisters. The musical score and special effects added to the Christmas magic feel. I'm already looking forward to watching it again next Christmas with my niece.
