In 2015 I told Mariah Carey on Twitter that she make her children's book "All I Want for Christmas is You" (the one this movie was based off of) into a movie

We were looking for something that none of is had seen, and when this came up, we all uttered a collective, "hmm..." and decided to go with it anyway. My wife and I really enjoyed it as did our 2 young daughters. it's a sweet, innocent cute Christmas movie. Definitely worth the watch.

Forget the few bah humbug reviews. You know reviews will always be bias towards the negative side since Mariah is involved. What the heck do kids know about the quality of the cartoon, the quality of Mariah's music, etc. It's a basic story that every children can relate to, and if they're glued to the screen, what more can you ask for?

Sure it is the most of basic of Christmas "I want a puppy tales" but the total lack of soul in this thing is instantly off-putting... the animation includes the most flat and lifeless I rendering I have seen in anything since early, I mean really early nintendo. The pack terrible story around Mariah Carey songs is so boring and lifeless. Surely this is for the youngest of kids, but it reads like a Mariah I wish I was Disney Princess fodder... Shallow... at least in the live action versions of these tales the puppies are cute... not so here. This would be interesting only if the puppy in the story was replaced with a live, digitally inserted Nick Canon... otherwise, only purchase this thing if you plan on leaving the room... I made it about twenty minutes because it showed up on Amazon Prime and I did one of those, "How bad can this be?" quests. I love bad movies but this is so bad its not even fun to make fun of...
