Christmas is Here Again is an animated musical movie about what happens when a villain steals Santa’s magic bag. A little orphan named Sophianna teams up with a reindeer and one of Santa’s elves to find the bag and return it to Santa. At the end of the movie Santa fulfills Sophianna’s Christmas wish to be part of a family, and he and Mrs. Claus adopt her.

 

There is no sex, violence, or foul language in this movie. Younger children might be frightened by the villain, who resembles the grim reaper. There is one instance of one character hitting another, and children are forced to work for the villain underground mining coal and guarding his treasures. The vice of greed is shown as negative, and working together and maintaining hope are emphasized as positive values. The story of Jesus’ birth is retold in the movie, which states that Santa brings gifts to remind people of the miracle of Christ’s birth.

 

Because of its portrayal of positive, family-friendly values, its relevance to children, and its delightful holiday spirit, the Parents Television Council is proud to award Christmas is Here Again with the PTC Seal of ApprovalTM. The PTC recommends this film for children over the age of six.
