    Finally watched this in 2015. It was highly recommended by a colleague who was 16 in 2004. In 2004, I had heard the hype but also heard not so good things. However I try to keep an open mind, since I love Christmas, always have and always will. This movie had such great potential... but I was bored. It was slow, the story seemed forced and truthfully to make children believe the North Pole is an industrialized city where presents go on conveyor belts is an abhorrent idea. Where is the vast beautiful wilderness? The polar bears and Santa and Mrs. Claus making presents in their cozy warm Cottage with elven helpers putting the final touches? Where is the barn with plenty of hay where Rudolph and the rest of the reindeer are getting ready for their big annual trip around the world? I was sorry to find no magic here, just streets and factories and concrete... all of which do not represent the North Pole or Christmas.
