I purchased this DVD last week even though I had never heard of it before. I hadn't watched it yet, and the other night I was curious to see what people said about it. After reading the "review" from the lady that said it was "Disgusting", I was completely bummed and hesitant to watch the movie. Well, I just got done watching it, and now I am left wondering....LADY, DID WE WATCH THE SAME MOVIE??

First of all, in the beginning when the little girl says "shut up", it was said in the context of "nooo way", which is how kid's say it these days. And it was the ONLY time it was said. There is NO bad language, and NO HISSING CHILDREN.

It was a cute Christmas movie, with a happy conquers sad theme. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to share it with my nieces and nephews.

As for it being scary, the only way your child will "soil their pants" is if your child is scared of candy and puppy dogs!!!

Harry Connick Jr! Isn't that enough! Okay, so I'm a big fan of the man, but this show's pretty good on its own, although the music and narration wouldn't be the same without him.

Forty-five minutes is a little shorter than I cared for, but that's what they gave us (an extra few minutes wouldn't have hurt much). We get to follow a Happy Little Elf called Eubie who tries to make some naughty kids turn nice. Not too sappy, and still a possible Christmas classic.

The DVD set's not too shabby. Aside from the film there are quite a few extras including a box that lights up and plays a little tidbit from the theme music.

There are quite a few good laughs in here. This film is very suitable for the older kids, but not for babies; teens and adults with a since of humor will also enjoy this flick. It will even be nice throughout the year!

Add this to your list of favorite Christmas programs! After seeing the show on NBC, I had to own it for my 9 year old daughter (OK, so it was really for me!)

This is a very cute show based on a toe-tapping song by the incomparable Harry Connick Jr. Watch as Eubie the Elf tries to spread a little holiday cheer and niceness. Go out and get yours today- you won't want to wait until next year to see this!

This movie was so good, Eubie, the main elf is so cute and so funny. The Christmas story is really great, and I loved the animation. Christmas is my favorite time of year, and this movie really gets you into the spirit.

The music was really fun, and especially the song called The happy Elf. I loved how they showed Eubie skateboarding around Santa's workshop. I also really liked Santa. This movie is so funny, it will keep you laughing!

I hope they make more of these movies, it's one of my all time favorites!

Couldn't agree more! If you liked "The Polar Express", then you will love this movie. Boasting musical numbers and lovable characters, viewers will join Eubie on his Christmas adventures. For a preview, check out [...]. The dvd has numerous special features, including printable holiday cards and a Bluesville Coloring Book!
"The Happy Elf" is great for kids of all ages. The dvd 'sleds' into town on Tuesday, December 6th!

I saw the trailer for this movie on its website, thehappyelf.com, it is so cute! I am always looking for new Christmas movies to watch with my kids, and this one looks perfect! I have already ordered it, and can't wait until it comes out on Dec. 6th.

Watch the trailer, and there are even some really cute games on the website to play. The characters are adorable too! I think this will be a new favorite!

We watched this with our kids one evening. It was a decent movie, certainly not the high quality of the christmas classics. When Eubie the elf went down to help the small town get off the naughty list, the Santa security team arrives to take him back to the north pole, not with a net, or a bag but with a TASER GUN. They shocked him with it, or so you assume because they show him blacking out after they "Zap" it into the air. It was not the type of thing I had expected to have to explain to my young kids while watching a christmas cartoon about a happy elf. It was in very bad taste.

The Happy Elf was given to me by a friend as a Christmas gift. I have to admit I had not heard of it, even though it made an appearance on NBC. I really enjoyed the 3-D action. The story was good enough to entertain me for the whole 45 minutes. Harry Conick Jr. did an excellent job with the narration and the music! He pinned the whole original score, and I really enjoyed that.

The DVD set came in a neat box that lights up and plays some of the original soundtrack. There are also great extras including an interview with Harry Conick Jr. and a CD-Rom that allows you to make your own Christmas cards, this will come in handy for next Christmas!

This is a fun movie for old and young (but maybe not too young). I believe that all who like to be entertained, and kind of dig Christmas will enjoy this creative show!

I just happened upon this little gem when it premiered on (i believe) NBC on a friday night. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this movie. It was a great modern Christmas animated feature. Eubie, the Happy Elf, was hilarious! His facial expressions and joyful attitude were fun to watch. and those teeth of his! lol

I was surprised by how delightful this short animated feature was and i recommend it to both young and old. It's something you can watch over and over every year during and even after Christmas time.

This is going to be a Christmas favorite for years to come.I would say that it will become a Christmas classic.Everything about the movie was great.The animation was some of the best I've seen.Having the voice and music of Harry Connick Jr makes it even better.
