Product Description
Upon his 1600th birthday, Santa Claus is given a very special gift: a white, fluffy, stuffed toy puppy which is brought to life by the Great Christmas Icicle (turning him into Santa Paws). When Santa loses his memory and becomes lost in New York, Paws and his new friends must find him and his magic crystal in order to restore Christmas. Along the way, they try to brighten the lives of Quinn and Will, a couple orphans whose only wish is to have a family.

I watched this with my 4 year old and my daughter really liked it and i loved it.
it was a feel good movie with lots of xmas spirit.
it was great on the adult side of things cos my four year old is only just beginning to learn about father christmas , elves etc and still doesnt fully understand it all, after this film though she was asking lots of questions and defiantly knows and understands it all a lot better.
there was some singing in it as well which was my daughters favourite part.
the only warning i would give is that there is one line in the story when the little girl says 'is santa claus going to die?' my daughter promptly burst into tears and was upset for a few minutes after until we explained that he wasnt and he was going to be ok and once she saw it on the film she was fine,we watched it again the next day and although she didnt cry again at the same scene she looked really upset still, so just watch out for this if you have younger sensitive ones.
there was a good mixture of humour and cuteness and the little girl was adorable,
a must have xmas film and defiantly one for all the family

Doesn't even deserve one star and I really just wanted to endorse the other 1 star reviews. This is truly awful. Shouldn't have a U cert and shouldn't have been made. My daughter isn't prone to neuroses or upset, but this film has really bothered her. Utterly pointless drivel with the sort of sacharin nonsense you'd expect (and, I suppose, that you've paid for) in a particularly sickly, amateurish and unconvicing guise, all of which I can live with. However, whilst I am sure we are all accustomed to narrative / plot devices through which tension is built before a resolution is reached, I wouldn't have expected a Disney, U-rated X-mas film to include:
- Santa being run over
- Santa getting amnesia
- Santa and his 'dog' both getting lost in NYC
- Santa and his dog both having the key to their magic powers stolen
- Santa becoming mortal, then ill, then on the brink of death
- The dog being turned into a toy
- The dog, as a toy, almost being incinerated
- Various damaged children recounting their traumatic childhoods ...
- ... whilst living with an abusive foster carer ...
- ... who incinerates their toys...
- ... which are (usually) the only link they have to happiness...
- ... and then locks the children in a cellar...
Of course it all turns out ok in the end, but the only value this film has is to make you wonder:
(a) who checks the scripts at Disney
(b) how many other films of this nature the BFBC reviewer hasn't bothered to check

Don't watch this buy Santa buddies instead, this one is wrong on so many levels. I love Santa films and watch them with my daughter but this one really upset her. Santa gets hit by a car and the loveable puppy turns into a stuffed toy and a women sticks it in the furness. But when the little girl got in to save the dog my daughter cried. Terrible wish I could return it.

Christmas present
My niece loves dogs and this was her Christmas present which she loved. Really kitsch but just right for a five year old.
