i be absolutely disappointed with this remake . the only reason it do not get a 1 be that i couldn not bring myself to call it completely awful . there be a couple of relatively decent scene ( heat miser snow miser and and snow in south town . ) overall and it be way too long . santa be too bland and mrs. claus too whiny . mother nature remind me of a bad bride of frankenstein . there seem to be hundred of extraneous character without any real point ( look at the cast list . ) it be crude and rude without reason . why must the animal control officer slam beer on the job and burp in a child face and then show tattooed saying on his fat belly about be lazy . heat miser couldn not sing and and all the other song be miss no i believe in santa claus and no i will have a blue christmas without you and no i could be santa claus . i keep wait for song that never come . the last 15 minute or so be somewhat redeeming and but good luck get to that point . i toughed it out and but it be a sadly waste two hour . since it be televise so late and i record it for my kid and but i be not let them watch it . only the classic for them . i can see one good thing about watch it on dvd it would be over that much faster without the commercial .
