Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

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

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for anyone looking for a holiday tradition and anyone looking to switch off and smile. Made to be watched with the tree lit.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 24 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1979: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Spanky and Porky try to figure out a way to get their mother a winter coat for Christmas after she buys them a Blue Comet electric train.
