Eloise: Little Miss Christmas

When my daughter was 2-1/2, we got this from the library. She requested it pretty much every day, and we had to renew it 3 times. When we finally ran out of renewals, I decided it was worth the $10 (or whatever small sum it was) to get our own copy. Not only was our child entertained by the antics of all the kids, but turns out, based on comments she made later at Christmastime, she was absorbing the fact that there are many ways people celebrate the December holiday season, which delighted me. We ended up also purchasing the original Eloise story ("Me, Eloise," which tells of how Eloise and Yuko meet) on DVD produced with the same cast, which my daughter loves now too.

An unimpressive effort that manages to ruin the charm of the Eloise stories. The animation is cheap looking, your garden variety quickie that doesn't even attempt to duplicate the grace of Hilary Knight's illustrations. The story is an insipid retread of every "let's put on a show" plot ever devised. The MESSAGE is laid on thick and unconvincing, definitely the work of cynical adults who tend to look down on children. They've turned Mr. Salamone into a snide creep and worst of all, made Eloise a giggling ninny. The "children's" voices don't sound like children at all. There's a PC attempt to replace Christmas with the all-purpose word, Holiday. They toss in some occasional rhyme for no apparent reason. Then have the gall to top it off with a witless platitude: "Christmas is what you make it."In the end, it's just a pointless attempt to cash in on someone else's work.If you can't do Eloise right, don't do Eloise at all.

We love Eloise movies. This one was cute.

Both of my daughters (7 and 2) love Eloise and her imagination. This is a cute movie that has Eloise in in her usual trouble (which is ultimately never that bad) and a nicely written rhyming story narrated by Eloise.I suspect we'll be watching this long after Christmas is over.

The grandson’s love this. They are 3&7. Good clean entertainmen.

Our kids are really enjoying this movie. Eloise is spunky and sweet!

Okay, I love this more than my granddaughter who has several other current cartoon characters on Xmas DVDs which she prefers. I think in a couple of years though she will like it a lot better.

Eloise has long been a favorite of my family. She is a charming little mischief who amazingly makes everything turn out right.

My daughter eloise loved it !

Really cute comical story. I have the Disney Eloise stories with Julie Andrews and Sofia Vassilieva. Love these movies and wanted to see the animated version. Both versions are based on Eloise books. Fun entertaining stories, a different role for Julie. Pleased to add Little Miss Christmas to my Eloise collection. Entertaining Christmas Story I can watch anytime of the year.
