Although several reviews I read online for this children's movie were negative, my children adored it! For my 4 year old, she was enthralled by the story. With Danny DeVito recounting the story of a boy who lost his beloved dog, Ramona, when he moved to NYC, my daughter was riveted by the children in the film, the unique animation, and the "Little Spirit." A genuine story of love, moving to a new place, and difficult family changes, we watched this enchanting Christmas tale several times. I would recommend this film to people with small children everytime!

Little Spirit is a great new addition to the animated Christmas classics. The tale of the boy who loses his dog in Central Park and then has to rely on the kindness of strangers to get her back has a wonderful world peace message. Plus it's very funny and exciting. The animation is gorgeous and the music is wonderful. I highly recommend this film for family viewing.

My children really enjoyed this movie. Very good plot and content. It is appropriate for all ages and should become a classic for everyone's holiday movie library.

After seeing this movie on TV a few years back we quickly ordered the DVD because my kids loved it so much. Countless viewings later, I must say that we have yet to tire of this charming holiday family film about a boy who loses his beloved dog Ramona and goes on an adventure to get her back. The unique animation, great soundtrack and touching, simple story line are so refreshing and makes this movie stand out above all the commercial sequels that hollywood cranks out every year. Nothing is better than New York during the holidays and this movie celebrates this fact. Danny DeVito is, as always, great as the cabbie/narrator, and the soundtrack featuring Duncan Sheik will be much-appreciated by adults. Add this film to your holiday DVD repetoire, you won't be disappointed!

We liked the little spirit movie, but I don't understand why in every movie there is always a part where there is someone mean and my 3 1/2 yrs is still too young to see this but when he his older it will definitely be a great movie.

I am a movie addict and found this on amazon. My kids are getting older and I thought maybe they might like it because it's not just a cartoon.We watched it and it was really a good xmas movie.I am glad I took the chance on it. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a new movie for xmas.

My grand daughters loved this movie. Especially my 4 year old. She watches a lot.

Danny Devito is so fun as the cab driver. The little dog, Ramona, is very adorable. I recommend it to anyone with young children.

We loved this modern Christmas tale of a little boy's move to the big city. It was entertaining for my boys because they got to see New York in a new way. Growing up in New York, they have had their share of adventures, but not like Leo's. This exciting, fast paced ride made them appreciate and love New York even more! "Little Sprit: Christmas in New York" is on our list of "must see" Christmas classics every year.

Little Spirit is a fresh look at a family, moved to a city (New York) from a suburban life. The new experience is exciting, but strange,for the boy named Polito, where not all people appear similiar and kind. When the family's dear pet dog, Ramona, becomes lost, Polito is devistated. A magical Spirit , takes Polito on a journey to revisit the people and events of the day in their search for her. On this journey he discovers that people are not really different, and that they, too, share family, friends and community. My grandchildren loved this story and want to see is again and again.
