    Watch it to see the live-action version of the Cold Miser and Heat Miser scenes. The Miser brothers were worth seeing; their scenes are faithfully recreated from the '74 Rankin-Bass original; same song too. Harvey Fierstein and Michael McKean play them well.

    The rest of the ...( read more)movie is terrible to watch. John Goodman looks okay in a Santa costume, but he plays it bored and cranky Santa. The other characters are mostly rude and greedy. The kids are undeserving and annoying. This is not a magical film. Santa's operation is depicted as a business empire concerned with the exploitation of the parents' dollars each year.

    A classic. I always love the scenes with the Heat Miser and the Cold Miser, but I always weep buckets when Blitzen gets sick in the dog pound.

    I didn't pay the movie that much attention, but it seemed good... a little boring some times. Anyway, it was kind of funny.

    I was into this cartoon WAY before it became poular. The miser brother make the cartoon but I can't help but chuckle at the little girl with the big red bow singing "blue christmas."
