"The Happy Elf" debuts as yet another holiday special for the family - but this isn't a run of the mill show. The Christmas theme gets made over with high tech computer animation and a star packed cast featuring Harry Connick Jr., Carol Kane, Mickey Rooney, and more. The delightful animations show a myriad of nuanced facial expressions that draw the viewer into the story. The festive Christmas songs are also a great touch that really put the icing on the cake! This DVD is great holiday fun for the whole family. The story centers around the elf Eubie, who undertakes the massive task of bringing the Christmas spirit to the aptly-named Bluesville. This sets the stage for Eubie's ebuillent optimism versus the staid conventions of the townspeople. The typical "fish out of water" motif gets made over as both the North Pole and Bluesville become frustrated with Eubie's unbridled enthusiasm and determination to do what he knows is right. The plot is a wondeful Christmas fable that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This DVD does a great job of carrying on the traditions set forth by such 60's classics as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Frosty the Snowman," adding a modern touch to the medium without losing any of the features that keep this cartoons near and dear to our hearts. The songs, comedy, and adventure all add up to one irresistibly fresh take on Christmas! The DVD also includes entertaining extras such as a fullscreen or widescreen options, games, storyboards, cards, a coloring book, interviews, and more! Buy this DVD and bring Christmas joy to your family for years to come!Vollständige Rezension lesen
THIS OVER THE TOP FUN & FUNNY MOVIE IS FOR ALL AGES BETWEEN 2-102. THIS WILL BE "THE HOLIDAY MOVIE" FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. Eubie is no ordinary elf. Unlike the rest of Santa's helpers, Eubie believes that the holiday spirit is an unstoppable force, capable of warming even the coldest hearts. Putting this theory to the test, the buoyant and cheerful elf descends upon the depressing town of Bluesville. Just from looking at it, Eubie can tell that the town hasn't seen the true Christmas spirit in quite some time. Coming to life with the voice and music of Harry Connick, Jr., this animated holiday program also features the voices of Mickey Rooney, Carol Kane, Lewis Black, and more.
Harry Connick Jr! Isn’t that enough! Okay, so I’m a big fan of the man, but this show’s pretty good on its own, although the music and narration wouldn’t be the same without him. Forty-five minutes is a little shorter than I cared for, but that’s what they gave us (an extra few minutes wouldn’t have hurt much). We get to follow a Happy Little Elf called Eubie who tries to make some naughty kids turn nice. Not too sappy, and still a possible Christmas classic. The DVD set’s not too shabby. Aside from the film there are quite a few extras including a box that lights up and plays a little tidbit from the theme music. There are quite a few good laughs in here. This film is very suitable for the older kids, but not for babies; teens and adults with a since of humor will also enjoy this flick. It will even be nice throughout the year!Vollständige Rezension lesen
The Happy Elf was given to me by a friend as a Christmas gift. I have to admit I had not heard of it, even though it made an appearance on NBC. I really enjoyed the 3-D action. The story was good enough to entertain me for the whole 45 minutes. Harry Conick Jr. did an excellent job with the narration and the music! He pinned the whole original score, and I really enjoyed that. The DVD set came in a neat box that lights up and plays some of the original soundtrack. There are also great extras including an interview with Harry Conick Jr. and a CD-Rom that allows you to make your own Christmas cards, this will come in handy for next Christmas! This is a fun movie for old and young (but maybe not too young). I believe that all who like to be entertained, and kind of dig Christmas will enjoy this creative show!Vollständige Rezension lesen
I dont know why this wasnt a big hit movie with children!! It is great my 3 year old wants to watch it over and over again! I had taken him to the movie store one night when he didnt feel good. I let him pick out 3 movies. The happy elf was one of them. Well he watched this first and he never would watch the other movies. He just wanted to watch this over and over again. He was so upset when it was due back. So I wanted to buy it for him. I looked in 4 different big name department stores and couldnt find it any where. So you know where I found it. So glad I bought it. Its a great movie that your 2 through 6 year old will love.
