Seeing as a new Star Wars movie is coming out at Christmas every year #RogueOne , does that make Star Wars Christmas movies now? The debate that rages in our house every Advent is over whether a movie qualifies as a Christmas movie if it is simply set during this wonderful holiday season or must it be about Christmas to qualify?
Whatever side you fall on (feel free to comment below) The Christmas Toy can safely be considered a Christmas movie as it is not only set at Christmas but is about Christmas. It is also about toys! Which if you know anything about our family you will know us as the creators of the Toylympics . Click on the link, share with your friends, subscribe to our channel etc. OK plug over... The Christmas Toy is a TV movie created by the legendary Jim Henson and is about a jealous toy who risks everything to remain the favourite toy but instead learns a good lesson about belonging and love.
Rating: If you read a longer plot synopsis online and it sounds familiar to you, that's because it probably is. It's the basic premise for Toy Story! In our opinion Toy Story is a far superior film but it doesn't have puppets or song and dance numbers and that special Jim Henson something. The kids were captured enough by the magic of the world he created but not enough that we will watch it again. Let the debate rage again next year when we try to pick a Christmas movie. Naughty bits: This is super clean and cute and suitable for all age children. Nothing to see here.
Snacks: Milk and cookies!
Family In-quotes: "It's catnip! Just catnip!"
