XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) If you're a nice one you could say Parker and Trey Parker and Matt Stone were among the most creative 20-something-year-old's of the 90s, if not you could say their creative process pretty much rested during this and the start of the TV series South Park two years later. In any case, the two are in their early 40s now and the show is two weeks away from going into its 17th season. A truly respectable feat. While many say that it's gotten worse over the years, I think it's still one of the most entertaining animated shows on television and if there was any decline in quality, it was minor.In any case, this short film is pretty much your usual South Park episode packed in 25% of the running time. The boys are all there and also look pretty much exactly the same on the show. Their behavior doesn't differ much, including the obscene language. Cartman is the prick he's always been. Kenny shall die. And we also get our piece of South Park moral at the end.It's South Park meets Celebrity Deathmatch as old acquaintances Santa and Jesus battle each other other in their fight to show humanity (metaphorically the 4 kids) what Christmas really is about and convince them that their position is the right one. And as always with South Park, there is no black and white result, but the solution to the issue is all kinds of shades. I'm pretty sure, nobody really watches this before he actually came across the series, but those 5 minutes are surely worth a watch for fans of the show when the newest season goes into Christmas break again.

RainDogJr You can read elsewhere that this short is a must-see for anyone who has enjoyed the work of Trey Parker and Matt Stone and you will read that here too. The Spirit of Christmas is a great must-see piece of South Park and basically no matter if you end not loving it you will fell glad for seen it however I think is just impossible not to love this short. I saw it for the very first time back in 2006 when I got the South Park The Hits DVD and just a couple of days ago I saw it again so is the perfect time to do a nice comment for it.The now legends Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny are ready to celebrate one more time Christmas (right now I'm also ready! The Godfather set on Blu-ray!) but they will have a certain fight because of the fact that Kyle is a Jew and he is suppose not to celebrate Christmas (ALL RELIGIONS DIVIDE). Then we see Jesus in South Park, he certainly was not there to kill Kyle because he's a Jew but yes, he was there to fight…against Santa Claus! "Christmas is for celebrating my birth" says Jesus and "Christmas is for giving" says Santa. Their fight will have as consequence many children dead and yes they killed Kenny! Couple of bastards! (here we don't have the line "you bastards", by the way). Certain moments from this short were later part of certain episodes and of the movie. As we saw Cartman singing "Kyle's mom's a bitch" during one episode and later during the movie we see here Brian Boitano as we see him in the movie. Certainly Brian Boitano will help the boys and they will understand everything, the fight between Jesus and Santa is finally over and we have some more laughs. They boys earned something and we learned that for them was more relevant to spoke with Brian Boitano than with Jesus and Santa and also that for Cartman Christmas is just about one very important thing: ham. This is just South Park, this is the beginnings of a magnificent show, you really should watch this short or where else you will see Jesus saying "you f****** p**sy" to Santa Claus?

Mike-2000 This is the funniest short film I've ever seen! It's about 4 boys who meet Jesus and he asks them where the mall is. Jesus and Santa meet face to face and fight to settle what the real meaning of christmas is. Meanwhile, the boys watch and wonder what some Brian guy would do. This film is very funny. The 1991 verson pretty much sucked. This short is very funny, and I think any one who likes South Park, should watch it.I give it an A+ (a perfect 10)

Krooked This, as most of you know is the second "Spirit of Christmas" the first being re-titled to "Mr. Frosty" both contained the sharp wit, the crudeness that we all enjoy. It took me a while to find a good quality copy of this cartoon to watch, and I am glad I did. In this golden Parker-nugget the boys have an encounter with Jesus looking for Santa Claus...to kick the living sh*t out of him. When Ole' St. Nick and Jesus battle it out the boys consult one of their idols: Brian Biotana. Brian Teaches them the way and shows the boys that shouldn't think of things like "who's going to win Santa or Jesus" but to focus on the true meaning of Christmas. In the end the South Park boys find the true meaning of Christmas....PRESENTS!
