The sad part is that Mel could've been a better villain. Her backstory could've been that was as the daughter of some rich heir/heiress that went bankrupt. Or she could've been raised by a parent who had either spoiled her, abused her or maybe even both.
@@Neku628 Yeah but they refused to buy Netflix when they had the chance and now look who got the last laugh. They thought they could compete with Netflix and laughed at the idea of buying them.
I used to watch this movie a lot whenever it came on Cartoon Network. Yet, that song during Jake and the elf riding to the North Pole had always got to me like it did with "Where Are You Christmas". When hearing those songs as a kid would upset me a lot. Making me upset that the Christmas spirit was being lost for some reason. And that I was to blame for wanting toys.
Cartoon Hero reviewed this movie, I reviewed this movie, and now you reviewed this movie. Now all we need is for Hardcore Kid to review it and the circle will be complete! :D LOL
I had no idea that this Special was that bad! Then again I never really follow what's going on in any movie I watch... mostly. But reviews like yours keep me informed that it is... And as for the original songs... well... To quote Diva of Musical Hell: "On second thought, let's listen to some Meghan Trainor..."
19:13 now that you brought up Danganronpa, here’s what I think will happen if the movie takes place in this world (WARNING: it might be graphic): Cousin Mel is found guilty, a Monokuma shackle burst through the door to latch itself around Mel’s neck and pulls her outside. It is revealed to be attached to a sleigh with a thruster being road by Monokuma wearing a Santa hat and beard and being pulled by Monokuma Kubs posing as the eight reindeer and one with a red nose as Rudolf. Monokuma cracks his whip to send the “reindeer” flying up to the stratosphere with breakneck speed with Mel faces her death(s). Being hung by her neck, lack of oxygen due to being in the stratosphere, hypothermia due to the harsh cold wind, and burning from the thruster. Then the chain cuts loose sending Mel on a free fall. She is dead before she hits the surface.(depends on how quickly she died)
I remember nearly twenty years ago, I was watching this special in a Sunday School at the church we attended from 1995-2005. I was assuming it'd be a good adaption of a beloved Christmas novelty song played during the Holiday season. I was sadly mistaken...midway during the special, people in my class were falling asleep, and I had this disgruntled look on my face. Finally, someone told Sheila (our long time friend we've known since 1995) to turn off the movie (it was on VHS) and put in a different video that was more interesting. I made a vow to never watch this special ever again as long as I lived. Then again, the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special was worse. Makes me thank my lucky stars I was born in 1985.
Now I think, we all think, the idea of a movie version of the song was a nice idea, but, not to point any fingers...... .......it could have been done better.
A little nitpicky, but fruitcake is usually served like a loaf and sliced as opposed to a bundt cake like in this special. Now, if she made panettone, it'd make sense to be shaped like that.
2:39 When you said that the creator of the song doesn’t actually sing his own songs in this, I had to do a double take on that. I’ve known this special for years and I thought you were joking. So I went and looked it up and I gotta say, my jaw was on the floor when I found that you were correct. Though before I knew this, you could’ve fooled me about it cause the guy who does sing the songs here, for the most part *at least to me personally*, sounds just like Elmo Shropshire. And for those wondering about the actual singer of the songs here in the movie, Gary Chase, I don’t know that much about him and won’t list what else he’s done since then cause I only took a passing glance at his profile of work on IMDB, so I will just say that it’s nothing that big or noteworthy, but at the very least he has constantly gotten work since then. If anyone can name anything noteworthy about him, feel free to let me know.

Oh God this was *annoying* when it was in regular rotation. At first, it was cute. Then Cartoon Network thought it struck fucking *gold* and wouldn't stop airing the hell out of it to the point where during the 120th airing I begged for Twas the Fight Before Christmas or Olive, the Other Reindeer.
This is definitely one of those movies where you have to question what anybody was thinking when they made it. I mean, it's a funny enough song...but to make a full-length animated movie about it? A simple short would have been fine, but heck they made a full-length feature out of "Elf Bowling" so this is hardly the dumbest excuse for an animated Christmas film. -__-
Fun Fact Media Hunter: Susan Blu is best known for voicing Arcee from Transformers, notably in G1 and Animated, I did not know till now that she voiced Grandma in this movie.
the irony is that I 'd used to liked this Christmas movie when it used to aired back then on Cartoon Network back in the early 2000's now it's a Complete Dumpster fire of Crap
The funny thing about this film is that I'm 90% convinced it was supposed to suck. It's bad, but it's hilariously bad. Like, this is up there with Rock-A-Doodle as one of my go-to 'So bad it's entertaining' films.

Two years late, but villains don't need a tragic backstory to be good.
“A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED!”
I love that!!!!!!
Mel looks like Daphne's evil sister
SaiOkami777 Dude! I had thought the same thing! Even as a kid I saw a resemblance.
GRANDMA: I say we make enough money.
ME: And that's how Blockbuster Video went bankrupt.
No Blockbuster went broke because they got greedy. They are company, they are designed to make money.

Hewy Toonmore Perfect!
Rowdy C also reviewed it too. It's a pretty popular target for you Manic Expression guys...
I agree
It could have been better, you could’ve watched “Wanna Listen to My Mixtape?”.
on par with Nostalgi Critic's review, but with the annoyance removed

On par with Nostalgia Critic's review but less annoyance
I get your points, but due to nostalgia and it's so bad, it's good quality, I still like this Christmas flick.
I think I may be NEXT to blog this ..... but that'll have to wait until NEXT YEAR
A true Christmas disaster of gigantic dumpster fire.
You said it!!!!

Mel + Mr. Lickboot from Tom & Jerry Movie = The most profitable OTP
The "antagonist" does not seem that bad.
And then of course adult Jake and grandpa has the same voice 😂
Is he gonna do Elmo Saves Christmas soon?
I doubt it
18:05
Hey everyone, do the "Drunk Mom Trying to do the Macarena!"
Now I think, we all think, the idea of a movie version of the song was a nice idea, but, not to point any fingers......

Can you do Dino king?

NO PANTALONES
I wonder what kind of execution Monobear would have for Mel? Or Santa?
Mel’s Execution: Slay Ride
@@tomjackson6077 *Cue Reach for the Stars: Xmas Edition*
I'm glad you like the original Grandma Got run over by a reindeer song. It has way too much hate.
As for this movie? WHYYYYYY?!
Can't wait for Annabelle's Wish. Its one of my favorite christmas movies.
I. Despise. This. Special. With. All. My. Despise.
I always thought this special was ok, but looking back, everything's so cheap as hell.
This is one of my big guilty pleasures

I liked it. Despite how corny it was I liked it

Haha grandma got run over by a raider is really weird

Christmas morning, why didn't they go out immediately instead of in the morning? Do they care about her possibly being alive and freezing too death?
I recommend you check out Strugill Simpson Media Hunter
To me this is one of my top favorite Christmas songs besides all the others.
This here is WTF
Maybe “Wanna Listen to My Mixtape?” could have a movie adaptation, due to the fact it is a Christmas song.
I never liked fruit cake but knowing that a lot of other people like it, why are there always jokes about fruitcake being bad
The funny thing about this film is that I'm 90% convinced it was supposed to suck. It's bad, but it's hilariously bad. Like, this is up there with Rock-A-Doodle as one of my go-to 'So bad it's entertaining' films.

Wouldn't it actually be a good thing that people are getting more inflatable trees than real ones?
I challenge you to find something you do like that features Susan Blu in a major or semi major role.
20:03 I Don't Believe this how come She Hates Christmas
Christmas.
Annabelle's Wish is not a bad movie!
I agree with you
I thought that you already done this video, Media Hunter? I guess I was wrong.
there's such a thing as a filmaking school to learn how to make films better, right?
We had a little reindeer the sings the song when you press it
I got notified
not a good movie
Is it funny that the go animate version is better?
Love it
Media hunter why aren't you responding?
Hey Media Hunter can you do the jungle bunch back to the ice floe, The jungle bunch 2017, the dino king, and that oz movie with the monkeys
I don’t like the song ether you now
