I must say that this item is oddly appealing. While it seems like a nice children's Christmas story in the ads, it isn't. The jokes and the general tone of this little film are not really kiddy fare. Santa and the Snowman have a war, which it's exactly in the Christmas Spirit. No blood or swearing, it's just over the heads of kiddies. This film started as an IMAX 3-D movie, and is probably most appealing to very young teenagers. When I first saw the relatively simple designs and CGI, I was slightly disappointed. But, to be honest, I've re-watched this DVD at least 5 times (unusual for me), and I'll probably watch it twice every Christmas. The 3-D effects are what makes this DVD captivating. There are many cheesey, disappointing 3-D DVDs out there -- but this one was done right. It's in HQFS (High Quality Field Sequential 3-D, the best kind), so you'll need the shutter glasses (like the ones found in ASIN: B00005QW5S). It's a quirky little Christmas movie, but it's 3-D has a bit of "wow" appeal, without being "in your face".

Always ready to welcome new Christmas Material anytime, and when i saw
this in 3d, i knew a new addition has been added to my Holiday Collection.
Eye candy for Adults, and good story for the kids.

This was a very unique movie...it was a whole lot different than what i thought! it was cool! The only thing is they needed to have more stuff "pop" out of the screen...i kept saying come on come out further, but it didn't....

*recommended*

The movie is fun to watch but there are multiple versions, this one works and suits most people, a Sensio version is availible as well but it is for high end home theaters and you need the Sensio Processor to view. If you don't have a 3D sync box then I recommend getting the The Ultimate 3-D Collection which contains 3 3D Imax movies! If you have a Sensio Processor than you know the differance and this one is not for you. Definatly STAY AWAY from the Red/Blue Analglyphic version (comes with red/blue glasses) it is a waste of money and doesn't work!
