Best movie ever!

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Seriously one of the worst Christmas movies I have ever seen. One of "Santa's Flying Forces" has a one night stand with a doe which results in Niko. Apparently Niko's mom doesn't bother to ask his name though (probably a common mistake among doe groupies trying to get laid by Santa's Flying Forces).Movie includes: - A pretty scary pack of wolves with plans to eat Santa, Santa's reindeer, and children of the world. - A bar scene (yep, a reindeer bar scene) where none of Santa's reindeer remember Niko's mother ("Sorry kid, this is the world famous flying forces you're dealing with. We're gonna need more details.") - A a pink poodle subplot that might have belonged in another movie.We watched with our 9 and 11 year-old sons and the only fun we had was making fun of how bad the movie was. They hated it, but I suspect for totally different reasons than my husband and myself, lol.I have no problem with a Christmas movie that's a little bit raunchy (love Christmas Vacation and Bad Santa), but targeting a movie towards kids about one night stands that result in kids, Santa's reindeer in bars, and a scary wolf pack out to eat Santa is just sort of creepy.

This is excellent movie. This film tells us about dream. Especially, how great it is to have a dream that you want so badly. And, I think it's great to have a super father that can make you dream higher to be in the future. This film also speaks not to give up your dream even though there are many obstacles. And it also speaks that you don't live by yourself in this world. I do catch the Christmas spirit (though I never celebrate it anyway). It's that Christmas will be so much wonderful day ever when we spend it with people who love us and we love them back as well. In the end, this movie "Niko & The Way to The Stars" is really great after all. Worthwatching!

After reading the reviews I must say that how can you judge the daddy reindeer for something he didn't even know to begin with! Yes, he may have had a one night stand with Oona, but Oona never told him about Niko. If Oona had told him it would be a whole different story. You don't know, maybe he would even stopped his job and be a father to Niko. Now you're thinking that "but Oona didn't know where the Santas workshop is", might be, but if Niko found it, then Oona would have found it too, if she would have wanted! Yes, the Santas FlyingForces might be a bunch of womanizers, and to be honest, this was something that caught my attention too at first, but then I actually forgot it because of the story taking me so deep into itself. In spite this little "problem" you seem to have towards the daddy, you have to agree that the movie was Great!

My kids (6,4,4) love this movie. It keeps them interested and engaged. It's mildly suspenseful, funny at times, and keeps moving at a pretty brisk pace. The animation is very good, and worth the price for the snowfall effects.Maybe I've become overly sensitive to this type of thing, but I felt that the way in which Niko came into the world was a little much for a kids' movie. His mother hooks up with one of Santa's flying reindeer and she never sees him again. I understand that this is how it works in the animal kingdom (minus the flying) but when the characters are personified kids relate them to people. I had to field a few questions about this.Also, the flying reindeer sitting around a bar drinking was a little disturbing. And when they are informed that one of them is Niko's father they react in stereotypical frat-boy fashion. So, Santa's reindeer are a group of drunk, womanizers. Not exactly the Christmas image one would hope for.Again, maybe I am too oversensitive to this. The rest of the movie is spot-on perfect.
