This is a video that could melt all but the coldest of Grinch hearts. It must have been written by a lawyer for never have I ever heard a better case for the existance of Santa Claus expounded on any medium. Yes I have heard of and seen Miracle on 34th Street and yes it is a pretty movie but no comparision to this.

What makes this movie way too cool is that core theme hails from a real life Virginia who posed this question many years ago. The very best of the wisdom of her age shines through in this little animation. I am a grown cranky old man and this movie brings me to tears everytime I see it because of its total child like innocence.

The animation's message is one of tolerance and love. This is Christmas seen through the eyes of a child. While not a heavy religious movie its core message rings out the true meaning of Christmas without all the high tone overbearing religious Gobble-D-Gook common in other such fare. This animation only sticks its toe in the religious malstrom for a breif minute and it does not advocate any, "faith". This is just a fun animation suggesting in the holiday season we get in touch with the kinder angel's of our natures which is not at all a bad message in todays world.

I have always been a fan of that bit of holiday history and discovered that a tv movie had been made about it. It was very hard to find, Thank you Amazon!! It was a wonderful shopping experience and now I have it and thoroughly enjoy it.

I find this program to be full of ideas we could all use to become better people.It never hurts to be reminded of how we should treat one another.

Had to buy this cartoon a second/third time. Had to chalk the first one up as a loss, due to used vhs having a bad picture (and won't mention the seller). Hopefully my second used tape, from another seller, will play in perfect condition. But, just in case the vhs is bad again, I ordered this in new dvd slimcase. Now, this should be testimony enough for this great little classic.

When I finally found this movie I really didn't mind that was only in VHS, I love the fact that is a true storie, is amazing how this newspaper editor took the time to answer the little girl's letter about the existence of Santa Claus, it makes you believe again,.. great movie.

VHS tape exactly as advertised & in perfect condition. I wish it were available on DVD. This is a great story. I would love to see someone remake this with current animation.

well this cartoon has similarities to peanuts an frost an santa clauses its probably the first to show different ethnics chinese guy an afro american girl etc ...its a fine holiday toon ...
