My family is a fan of holiday movies and cartoons. The lack of such fare featuring minority characters was also very apparent to us. Enter Rankin and Bass's "Santa, Baby" featuring such African-American stars as: Vanessa Williams, Patti Labelle, Gregory Hines and Eartha Kitt. The urban music combined with African-American characters is refreshing and entertaining. Its lessons regarding family and community involvement are timeless. Keep the classics; but, try something new. Try, "Santa, Baby". I think you will enjoy it.

After years of silence, Rankin/Bass, the company responsible for such holiday staples as "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", "Frosty The Snowman", "Year Without A Santa Claus", "Santa Claus Is Comin To Town" and many others, somehow managed to emerge with this terrible clunker. Gone is the Christmas enchantment that overflowed in the specials from their heydey - this depressing 1/2 hour is permeated with scenes from an impovershed ghetto. Instead of cute, charming stop-motion puppet animation, we get very cheap cel animation. I find it hard to believe that the team responsible for all those wonderful holiday classics had very much to do with this one, and I think maybe somehow their name was just tacked on it.

i love these old shows, takes be back to happier times. thank you for helping me get there with the items i bought from you

In my area this movie was always shown Christmas day on TvOne. Last year I checked my tv guide and realized that they would not be showing this film about a happy Black family with a father going through a minor career gliche. So I rushed and ordered it and it arrived Christmas Eve with time for me to watch it w/ the fam-YAY It really is a fun family cartoon that should not be missed.

....one of tha best Animated, Christmas movie I've ever seen. You will absolutely fall in love with this film...I've seen this movie before while I was shopping at Hollywood Video and decided to get my own copy today...

....anyway...this is an awesome movie...get it...watch it...love it...peace!

I ran across this dvd searching Amazon for Christmas movies - I had never heard of it before! So I read some of the reviews and decided to try it. I'm so glad I did. Both my granddaughter (age 4) and I really enjoyed it! The music and the message were both excellent! Everytime I asked her what movie she wanted to see and she would say "Santa Baby!" Great movie!!!

Meh, this movie was kind of stupid. I didn't really care for the characters much either. The yellow singing bird should've been shot down! I hated the songs too. Check out Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer instead! It's always been better! Now to cook this yellow bird! Anyone hungry? MERRY CHRISTMAS YAS FILTHY ANIMAL AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
