NDTV: In Search of Santa

[@drksmke7462]

i just randomly remembered this movie from my childhood glad someone in youtube did a commentary on it

[@KayK9-s1k]

Same, I watched when I was little

[@BrandonCroker]

Happy Feet: Duff Sister Edition?

[@jamesaustin1988]

I remember watching this movie at one of those neighborhood Christmas parties where the adults are on the main floor and the kids are sent to the basement. I remember hating that seal and being so disappointed when the explosion turned into lollipops and candy canes. I also thought Lucinda was a boy, and that Captain Cragg song has been stuck in my head for over a decade.

[@salthesalmonshark6849]

Ignoring the horrible animation, this is kind of a decent movie. It handles some of the messages well, and some of the jokes are actually good. (Specially the "I can hardly believe it" joke) I remember liking this movie a lot. Tho in my country it was called "The penguin princesses" And the punk sister was voiced by the Lisa Simpson of my country. It was weird 😅

[@thomasfields5436]

I’ve had a great 2021 and I can’t wait to see what 2022 has to offer. Merry Christmas, Kyle!

[@jeremyusreevu237]

At least this movie knows that Penguins are from the South Pole.

[@BluJean6692]

The weirdest part of this by far was recognizing one of the male voice actors from "Dawn of War: 40K"

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

On thing to know about this particular movie was that it was going to originally be in 2D and released by GoodTimes Entertainment... but I guess after the ill-fated Rudolph the Movie, and some other circumstances beyond their control... I guess they shelved it and after their last breath and folding into Gaiam, Miramax and Paramount must have scooped up the rights... and turned it into a cheap CG film. Dear lord.

[@KyleNorty]

Just right now a video showed up in my recommended that is a preview for it that not only has a still of the characters in 2D but says it was supposed to come out in 1999. So apparantly this had a much more interesting production process than I originally thought.

[@qpappapspspnews682]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaiUaoZ3oZaCeLM May I ask what name of the movie in video opinion what year is

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Also I saw that 2D still and I thought it was pretty funny showing that when the film was originally going to be a 2D animated film Lucinda was originally meant to have a Karen haircut before they decided to give her that weird Punk hairdo in the actual Film we got

[@GabePickles3837]

The film itself was also produced by Tundra Productions, the same company as Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys, which also has similar animation quality.

[@tylerfish2701]

This was distributed by Miramax? That explains everything.

[@leomcshizzlepjocastdeserve1631]

i loved this movie growing up all i could remember about it was that there was a punk penguin

[@sasproductions35]

I always saw this at a local video store but never saw it... maybe that was a good thing lol

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Surprisingly this movie was originally meant to be done in traditional 2D back when the film was first commissioned in 1998 and we even got a still of the original animation which actually would have worked better in my opinion

[@jeremyusreevu237]

Nice to see another review from you, Kyle. Merry Christmas, and I hope your 2022 is really good.

[@MrJLcooljams]

Bring some water boil some seats ambulance medics where's help when you needed said king calvin

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

The animation to this film literally looks like one of those cutscenes on those screens at the bowling alley

[@Tokuman100]

3:19-3:22 Needless to say this is also better than her performance in The Haunting of Sharon Tate, right Norty?

[@YodaOnABender]

4:50 tiktok memes have ruined my brain so much that I forgot these sound effects used to be used in actual movies back in the day

[@gregthegaypoodle6852]

Oh boy. We're in for quite a ride, aren't we?

[@NobodieZ26]

Well this is still a better X-mas movie than Christmas Is Here Again.

[@x_rinaruy_x3464]

I fucking love this movie man

[@RE-ol5ws]

Merry early Christmas Kyle! But yeah, I actually watched this when I was a kid. I hated it then and I hate it now.

[@ARCtheCartoonMaster]

7:16 Having been a huge paleo geek as a kid, this bit always bugged me. Like... pterosaurs were *not dinosaurs.* So when people say birds evolved from dinosaurs - which they did, though technically they're still dinosaurs themselves - that does *not mean the pterosaurs.* The fact that they both generally have big-ash wings making them capable of flight is a classic example of convergent evolution.

[@ajlupo_9898]

I don't remember the movie looking this bad. maybe it's just my memory playing tricks.

[@jeremyusreevu237]

Are you going to make best and worst films of 2021 lists?

[@KyleNorty]

Yep.

[@jeremyusreevu237]

@@KyleNorty Cool. Can't wait.

[@calebdoerksen2]

I watched this film a lot as a kid and thought it was a silly flick that I could just turn off my mind and sit through. After a recent rewatch from my DVD, though, I can safely say that it is just painful for me to watch without my brain turned off.

[@OfficialNickolasJunior]

Merry Christmas Penguins looking for Santa Clause? yeah the premise alone say it all that's this movie is bad

[@leomcshizzlepjocastdeserve1631]

me being a figure skater

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

And of course with it being a kid's movie they had to give the terribly deep thinkers British accents because they're the villains of the movie

[@giovannamacola]

seriously how did you find it? i’m searching all over the internet to see it but can’t find it anywhere

[@KyleNorty]

iTunes. It was on paramount plus when I reviewed it but I guess it got removed.
