Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among people who start the Christmas movies early and people who need a good giggle, this one's for you. Made to be watched with the tree lit.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 6 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Meeper and the ChubbChubbs go to the North Pole; when Santa Claus is injured and can't deliver his presents, he is replaced by Meeper.
