i have been looking for this movie for AGES now. I've always been thinking about this every time sumn reminds me of christmas! It's the best christmas movie i have in memory when i was younger. I'm so joyed that i found it, that's to the help of someone dear to me *sniffles*
Holy crap thank you for uploading this. Haven't seen this in years. I have been looking for this for so long. I remember this one being interesting. The whole Angel Of Death scene and many other things in this movie were very interesting and i couldn't remember what this movie was called until today. Thank you.
Clearly, you have saved us from much more frustration and disappointment. I'm one of the many many people who have SEARCHED for this movie (FOR YEARS)! Thank you SOOOO MUCH for uploading!!!!
Its really refreshing to know that IMDB is not always right in its judgement and that many many many people have looked for, liked, and loved this movie. Personally I like both versions, the 2000 version and the Rankin/Bass version and no offense to you old schoolers out there but this animated movie was used as it was, an animated movie with not too much singing and tons of action and adventure :D
I "really" like how they use like mythology and floklore 2 give this story a quality aspect to the story even if you've outgrown some of the other aspects of it.
This is one of the only movies my family has ever gotten together during Christmas time and sat through without arguing. While it was playing on TV it was a tradition for us to watch it. :3 I have nothing but good feelings towards this movie.
I remember playing and replaying this movie every year on xmas...it was always my favorite because of the faeries and the setting... <3 Thank you soo much for posting this!
It's a great movie, but it's kind of sad that so many movies suggest Santa was an orphan. And not even the "his loving parents were killed, leaving him all alone in the world" kind of orphan, but the "his parents couldn't or wouldn't take care of him, so they left him on a doorstep or in the woods to die" kind of orphan! Anyone know what the story is for the real Saint Nicholas?
OHH MY... FINALLY!!!, My brother and I have been searching for this movie FOREVER, We used to run to the sofa every Christmas and watch it on Cartoon Network. I can't believe they stopped giving it, So many memories :) . I remember a little song that went "We're building a house...." Something something :x I Loved watching this growing up
I think which one you like better probably depends on which one you were first exposed to. I never saw the stop-motion one as a kid (although I love all of the Rankin-Bass stop-motion movies I've seen), and this was the one that was always on TV, so it's the one that I enjoy the familiarity of, even if it seems a little hokey now. Still makes me smile.
Thanks so much. This was one of my little sister's favorite Christmas movies growing up, and i've always felt sad that we could never find it again after watching it on Cartoon Network all those years. Thanks a lot.
I remember, being very young, either 4 or 5. I was only 4 when it came out, but man I have great memories of sitting in my living room, Mom and Dad making Christmas dinner on christmas eve, and watching this and remembering the part where he carves an animal in wood and scares the little girl...i think, don't know haven't watched it in years. Just brings me back to when my grandma was alive, and Christmas felt right. Thank you for uploading this, my friend. Merry Christmas.
Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much for uploading this. It was my favorite Santa movie when I was growing up. I remember watching it on television, but never seeing it again. I couldn't find it anywhere. Until now. Thank you so much. ^_^

@RoyalKidofOz OMG OMG OMG OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For that link to watch the movie ! You dont understand man ! OMG ! Umm do you know any youtube videos with the flute song ? Im trying to find it but its not working out
thier are actually two versions of this. This one blows the other out of the water. Probably why it isn't on DVD and is a "hard to find" on VHS, probably why my brother had a tme finding it to give to me for christmas-but he did, -thank God!(lol) people have no taste I suppose. I can't imagine why it wasn't at least continued to broadcast on Cartoon network!
I have seen this one and the frankin & bass one. I love them both,but I prefer this one. I personally like the relationship between nicholas and necile,they actually act like mother and son. The 1985 version made it seem more cold and non existant.
I saw this as a kid abut 12 years ago and could never remember the name of it, I spent the last 5 years trying to remember this movie's name, and after finding it...I am practically speechless...Thank you...you don't know how much this means to me...Thank you...
@MasterKiraX i feel the same way. i have gone through so much trouble just to find this movie. this movie hardly been shown on the telly at all. thank god i found what i wanted
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE NAME OF THIS! I FINALLY FOUND IT! Sorry for the caps lol; I've just been looking for the title because this is my FAVORITE movie from my childhood and I couldn't remember the name of it
@Fooountain me too and this helped sooooo freaking much! I've been going crazy trying to find the name of this movie since they stopped playing it on tv!
I actually saw this on Toon Disney. I think it was a very beautiful cartoon, in fact, After seeing Lord of the Rings, I think this story should be made into a live action movie.
Dude, thank you so much for this! This is probably my favorite Christmas movie ever. I remember watching this when I was a little kid during Christmas morning. This brings back a lot of good memories. They use to show this on Cartoonnetwork (back when it was still good) every December. I don't care that this is a remake or what people say, it's still an awesome movie to me. And I will always cherish the good memories I had with this movie during Christmas.
@HolyVegeta somebody with a child hood like mine appearently, i used to watch this my self as a kid on cartoon network, sadly they dont show it no more so i trying to find it again
Huh; I was looking for a different movie by the same name, but found this! I remember watching this once when I was a kid; something about a checklist for toys, a little elf, and oatmeal cookies is all I really remember.
That's one impressive Great Ak! I'm playing that role in a stage production starting tomorrow, and it's interesting seeing the different character designs and how they resemble-- or, more often, differ from-- how our versions of the characters look.
This is the second shittiest xmas special ever created (right behind Rudolph's Shiny New Year) The original used to be in second, but this was so bad it pushed to original to 3rd.
OMFG I found you! This is only my favorite (really kind of obviously Pagan but really we'll just say it's) Christmas special EVER! I've looked for forever, I knew I wasn't making it up!
@beatabeatrixx me too dude! I just found out what this one was called I remember watching this back in 2001 on Cartoon Network and never seeing it again, it changed my life!!
@beatabeatrixx OMG IKR I LOOKED FOR IT FOREVER!!! I LOVED THIS MOVIE WHEN I WAS LITTLE! :D i had it on video tape and i wacthed it 10 times every year when i was little! CARTOONETWORK BETTER FREAKIN GET OFF THEIR LAZY ASSES AND SHOW THIS MOVIE AGAIN!!! FORGET THE FREGIN TOWER PREP AND NATURAL HISTORY BULL CRAP!!! >:D
When he was growing up I swear to god that he was an incarnation of Link off the Legend of Zelda series, especially when he was playing the flute. I always thought that was awesome when I was a kid.
FINALLY!! I've been looking for this everywhere! This was my favorite thing to watch for Christmas when I was little. And it came on every year! Why dont they show it anymore? Love this movie.
My god, I had only seen this movie once, but it was so well made and awesome that everything was imprinted in my mind, and I wasn't sure if I'd ever be able to see it again. Thank you, its one of the best Christmas movies I've ever seen
