One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

In 2015 I told Mariah Carey on Twitter that she make her children's book "All I Want for Christmas is You" (the one this movie was based off of) into a movie

Forget the few bah humbug reviews. You know reviews will always be bias towards the negative side since Mariah is involved. What the heck do kids know about the quality of the cartoon, the quality of Mariah's music, etc. It's a basic story that every children can relate to, and if they're glued to the screen, what more can you ask for?

Sure it is the most of basic of Christmas "I want a puppy tales" but the total lack of soul in this thing is instantly off-putting... the animation includes the most flat and lifeless I rendering I have seen in anything since early, I mean really early nintendo. The pack terrible story around Mariah Carey songs is so boring and lifeless. Surely this is for the youngest of kids, but it reads like a Mariah I wish I was Disney Princess fodder... Shallow... at least in the live action versions of these tales the puppies are cute... not so here. This would be interesting only if the puppy in the story was replaced with a live, digitally inserted Nick Canon... otherwise, only purchase this thing if you plan on leaving the room... I made it about twenty minutes because it showed up on Amazon Prime and I did one of those, "How bad can this be?" quests. I love bad movies but this is so bad its not even fun to make fun of...

I appreciated the fact that the movie really was G, which was surprising for me considering Mariah's innuendo singing videos.The singing was pretty decent, no real highs or lows, but all in all a good listen.The voice dubbing left something to be desired, U have a woman born in 1970 dubbing about a pre-teen character, and it doesn't really work. I think Mariah needed someone giving her some constructive criticism in this instead of a bunch of kiss ups giving her feed back. Fred Astaire did the narrating and singing in 'Santa clause is comin to town', and dubbed an older character, to make a point.I really liked how the script kept the focus on the dog plot, as a lot of advertised dog movies are not in reality focused on a dog, but rather the dog ends up being in more of a sub plot within the movie. Not so in this one. Of course it is an animation, so this is not a perfect comparison.I can recommend this movie for kids, it focuses on puppies and a child's interaction with her parents (yep, a Christmas video movie in which a child has both a Dad and Mom). The movie in of itself is not any kind of classic, but it is a serviceable G family Christmas watch, younger kids may like it quite a bit.
