Alien at the Movies

Teddy’s Christmas

A sweet little girl named Mariann has a vivid imagination which gets her into trouble one too many times, but she learns her lesson & makes amends. This is charming wholesome family centering around Christmas & its traditions. It is a Norwegian live action/animated film with shades of “Toy Story”. However, if you children still believe in Santa Claus, you may not want to expose your kids to the fact there may not be a real Santa. The teddy bear in the story also learns a lesson about being too greedy. The film has good intentions but I️ get mixed signals from it & it isn’t quite the holiday special you may be looking for. 

Alien gives it 2 “cuddling” stars out of 4.
