★★★★ · Puts a new perspective on "Amber Alert". · Spuzz · 2016-05-05
Fun adaptation of the classic carol put to the screen by Jam Handy and the Fleischer Brothers. There may be a few alterations (I thought Santa owned Rudolph all along... in this, he just kidnaps him from his reindeer home) but all in all, the kids will like it,
