Watch The Christmas Tree For Free

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

There are people out there who are actually very good at drawing cartoons. It's a talent or a gift they've had since early childhood, where they just seem better at drawing cartoon characters than the average kid, and the love and joy they get from their craft can only be described as highly intense. And as they grow up they wish to share their talents with others, and make a career out of doing what they love. But due to a lack of resources, problems with health, ability, or money their dreams fell like just that, only dreams. And then, they see THIS monstrosity of a cartoon with ZERO talent and effort put into it, and it's because it's so horrible that it gets so much attention! This is the human race in a nutshell, ladies and gentlemen! A person like me, whose hopes and dreams of ever being a successful cartoon maker are crushed while, garbage like this gets put out for the world to see! People really don't value talent or skill anymore, after all it's just so much easier to crank out a total mess like this movie. What a stupid world!

Christmas is coming earlier these days.Like My Little Pony Christmas decorations ads in the midst of summer.The 1980's and 1990's had lots of Christmas specials.Like The Santa Clause movies and more.Now see the Nostalgia Critic review the worst Christmas special ever.That is The Christmas Tree from 1991 about orphan kids.Forget about live action orphan horror movies.This is a horrible made short with lifeless animation.That animation you can see from the 1970's when animation was in crisis.Two kids in a rundown orphanage wants to go the North Pole to find Santa Clause.But in the end the orphan kids are saved, as Coca Cola Santa Clause shows up.Stiff animation, bad editing and bad Voice Acting that deserved some Razzies.If you lust for more bad cartoon reviews go see Mr. Enter review things like My Little Pony G3.5.At least it was from a time when Christmas was magic.1/10

Okay, okay. This review may sound like everyone else, but I have the same opinion of this movie as they do. I was just exploring IMDb when I found "The Christmas Tree" and saw the rank. I didn't know why it was rated very low, so I had to check it out.Being that it is a 45 minute special and I was looking at this before dinner, I didn't want to watch the whole thing. I only watched the beginning up until they introduced Mrs. Hopewell. My first thoughts about this were: The narration sucks, and why did they name the tree Mrs. Hopewell? I decided to watch the Nostalgia Critic's review, which was almost as long as the whole thing, and that was probably because there are so many things wrong with it. Like I said, the narration was AWFUL, the animation is poor quality, the acting showed absolutely no emotion, the lip sync did not correspond with the dialogue, and one of the characters, Lily, sounded like she was drunk. Santa's voice, I thought, was demonic and sounded like as if the actor's voice was deepened. (I would say the same with another character whose voice was pitched) I highly recommend to watch it if you're looking for a laugh. Otherwise, STAY AWAY FROM IT.

If you want a fun and exciting Xmas special for kids, don't show this. If you want a Ed Wood style unintentional comedy, you've come to the right place. Made from some Italian animation studio(Filmarion Ferraria), this film contains animation ripped of from other, more prominent studio that looks more appealing on the side of an ice-cream van. Since this film has poor animation, laughably painful content and a Italian directing credit, I am reminded of Titanic the legend goes on. This is one these films where there so bad yet so enjoyable at the same time, by comparison, Adam Sandler's schlock-fest Eight Crazy Nights is much better that this pile of cinematic trash. Still, at least its better than the Rankin Bass specials.
