Mike E Monster

To be remembered as a) a pioneer of the "found-footage" genre b) one of the highest ROIs in Hollywood history - and - c) a brilliant marketing campaign. Alas, when the film ends and the lights come up? You feel completely ripped off. And why is that? Because you were! This film is trash. There's a sucker born every minute - just ask the next adult who actually sits through this snoozefest with zero payoff.

Out of the hundreds of Christmas movies available, this one has probably flown under the radar of many buyers out there - but assuredly, this rare gem is worth purchasing if you ever come across it. The animation is simply beautiful and the story is told without dialogue (only music and sound effects). Children will love it - and the story is told so well that parents will, too. The story focuses on an angel that loses its magic wand, thanks to an attack from a very large (and hungry) owl. The angel is then rescued by a family of mice, who then have to concoct a plan to get the wand back from out in the snow. Even Santa makes an appearance in this slice of holiday magic the whole family can enjoy (no matter what language you speak, too).
