I WANT A DOG FOR CHRISTMAS, Charlie Brown  (2003)    7.2 Stars

The post A Very Furry Christmas! 17 CAT & DOG Holiday Family Movies appeared first on Deba Do Tell.

Here are some of my Faves!

“ELF“  (2003)  PG

1

Buddy (Will Ferrell) is trying to find his place in the world in this delightful movie for the whole family.  When he finds his biological father, Buddy tries to fit into a human world and family, where no one knows he’s an actual elf, and things get crazy Christmas fun!  Laugh out loud funny. We love this tale at my house that tugs at your heartstrings and makes you want to sing carols!

The Nightmare Before Christmas  (1993)  PG

Jack Skellington, king of Halloween Town, discovers Christmas Town and has to figure out the difference and how it works.

Not without some ‘minor’ fiascoes!

A Tim Burton creation with as per usual, music by Danny Elfman – both favorites of mine.  For me, this does not disappoint.

*******************

The Polar Express (2004)  G

A young boy’s otherworldly (to me, at times oddly creepy) adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express with a kindly conductor (Tom Hanks). He learns what it is to be brave, a true friend and the spirit of Christmas.  Visually breathtaking animation.

*******************

The Muppet Christmas Carol  (1992)  G

A whimsical version of the tireless tale of old miser Scrooge learns valuable lessons on Christmas Eve with the help of the Muppet gang taking on the classic Christmas Carol characters.

Probably the most kid-friendly version that is not overly frightening.

*******************

Disney’s a Christmas Carol  (2009)  PG

Another animated retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel about the ‘have and have-nots’ with the Victorian-era miser (Jim Carrey)who finds peace after numerous trips into his past and future with time-traveling ghosts.  More for a bit older child as more intense than the Muppet version.

Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman, Colin Firth

“The Santa Clause”  (1994)  PG

When a man (Tim Allen) finds himself magically filling out his britches, etc., and turning into Santa on Christmas Eve!  No one believes him but his son.
