Kids and families will count down to Christmas with the
DVD debut of the beloved international sensation, The Secret World of Santa
Claus! The two special two-disc sets each
feature a dozen episodes of the timeless animated series. In “The Secret
World of Santa Claus: Elves in Toyland,” Santa, his
reindeer and trusty elves sleigh into a land full of enchantment. But when they
arrive, they find the meddlesome Gruzzlebeard has cast a wicked spell on the
toys, making them come to life. With Christmas fast approaching, Santa and his
elves must undo the maleficent magic before it’s too late…! And in “The
Secret World of Santa Claus: A Present for Santa,”
children work with Santa’s elves to make him a gift so he won’t be the only
person on the planet who never receives presents on Christmas. While they’re
hard at work, the dastardly Gruzzlebeard unleashes hungry termites that nearly
eat Santa’s house, along with his trademark suit with special powers! Santa is
very distressed, but when he awakens to a big present outside, courtesy of the
children, he discovers all hope is not lost.
The 411:
My kids loved these DVDs but I think I liked it more. It reminded me of my childhood because the animation is older. Originally these were made in the 90s and was an animated series from France and was in syndication in Canada.
Each episode is about Santa getting ready for Christmas whether he is working out or dealing with his elfs. The shows also star his elfs, reindeer and some villains (Gruzzlebeard and Dudley) who are always trying to spoil the holidays.
The kids loved the fact that the kids in this movie give Santa a present. Every year my kids want to give Santa a gift and I usually talk them out of it.
The episodes are silly and fun and while my kids say they enjoyed them, they mostly talked through them instead of watching. Sometimes they talked about the soundtrack noticing the noises and asking each other if they thought the episode was funny or silly.
My favorite episode was called The Tall Little Girl about a girl who is too short to play basketball. She takes a potion that makes her a giant and after ruining the city Santa brings her back down to size where she finally appreciates her small structure.
In my opinion they are great old school movies that kids should see. The theme song while not catchy is playing in my head right now. UGH.
