Childhood

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2017

I used to watch this movie on the tv when I was a child (I am 24 now) and I still watch it. It's by far the best show I saw as a child. It would come on every Christmas at 7 am when I was a child on pbs. It's doesn't come on now or for the last decade or so. And it's been such a bummer. I used to never received any gifts for Christmas because my parents could never afford anything. I didn't realized this as a child, but I know now. And what made it better was this coming on and watching it Christmas, year after year of no gifts, this movie that came on at 7 am would be the only thing consistent that would be around on Christmas. So I just though I was a bad kids growing up, but watching this movie made me feel better. It's was literally my childhood and when it stop coming on, it broke my heart. Now that I am older, I can afford things for my family, nieces, and nephews. And I saw today that it was on prime. I literally cried while I put it on for them. This movie makes my heart melt.

Best Christmas show but cut out my fav part

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2017

This is like my fav Christmas show. My lake of five stars is because they cute one of my fav lines from "Baxter Day" when Buster sings, "yeah baby it's Baxter day" was cut out. Apparently baby is deemed inappropriate for children.

Fine multi-cultural Christmas movie

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2012

I rented this movie for my kids this weekend while we were laid up with fevers. It was just okay... I found it was educational regarding other cultural and religious celebrations surrounding Christmas-time. But I'm annoyed by whining. Arthur's little sister is bossy and whiny and speaks in an ugly tone - not how I want my children to talk to each other OR to me. This is why I rated it low.

My special needs grand daughter took a little extra time and found she had the dvd so never reviewed it. In the mean time the return window expired for a full refund and exchange. So, I am not reviewing the movies but I think around the holidays there should be extra time for a child to review their gifts. I will send the movies back. arthurs perfect christmas and good sport.

d.w. whiney!!! santa questionable

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2015

I don't know, im really one the fence. for Arthur, it was typical and true to the fashion of the books. I would say D.W. was extremely whiney to the point I explained to my 4 year old I never want to see her act like that. there is also the issue of Santa where the mother cant find the much wanted gift, and Santa clearly didn't come. if you are a believer in Santa with kids who listen intently to storylines, I would chose a different movie. the other holidays of hanakkah and kwanza where explained in much more detail than Christmas.

Okay but Not Destined to Be a Classic

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2012

Looking for something to watch with the kids (3 & 7), threw a dart at the free "Amazon Prime Kids' Videos" and watched this. It is reasonably enjoyable but not much more. There are quite a few story lines going on at once (Buster's mom and her emotional issues at Christmas, Arthur's search for the perfect Christmas present for mom, DW's anxiety over whether or not she'll get what she really wants from Santa, etc) so it isn't really focused enough to command much of an identity. It's hard to capture much magic with a few too many varied story lines shifting back and forth. My biggest complaint is the very forced multicultural element - not surprising since this is a PBS program, but it felt too educational & preachy in its covering of all the faith bases. I'd prefer they make some unique holiday shows about Hanukkah and Kwanza instead of forcing the politically correct gamut at the expense of a more engaging story.
I imagine if your kids are fans of Arthur they'll enjoy this one just fine. There's nothing especially wrong with it, but there's also nothing especially memorable about it either. Worth a rental at best.

Ok cartoon

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2013

My 7 yr old liked it. I didn't like the interaction between the siblings in the cartoon. Seemed like he tolerated or was annoyed by his sister more than I would want to see.
