This review is from: Santa, Baby! (DVD)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is Rankin Bass???, July 2, 2006

This review is from: Santa, Baby! (DVD)

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.
