I enjoyed this animated Christmas story and thought it brought a new concept to the table with time travel.

Cute, kid friendly, and an actually pretty decent time-travel storyline.

This is old-fashioned Christmas animation with solid values, encouraging honesty, hard work, and kindness. It's appropriate for younger children but the time-travel element appeals to older children as well; adults are amused by the nod to the kind of actual practical problems that would appear if someone did succeed in inventing time travel. The voice actors are excellent, especially Martin Freeman in the lead role, and the songs upbeat and fun. Ignore reviewers who think that every animated movie ought to be made in Pixar fashion, and just enjoy yourself. If your family liked Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer (at least before they'd seen it too many times), they'll love Saving Santa.

Excellent Christmas film for the family, not sure why it scores so low on Flixster and IMDB! A lot of fun.

Saving Santa isn't really at all ambitious and not particularly memorable, but it does everything well, from its story and script to its characters and voice acting. It's fun and friendly, easy on the eyes and ears and suitable for the entire family. While it may not live on for decades to come as a Christmas season staple, audiences could do much worse and anyone looking for something new this Christmas is encouraged to give it a spin.

A pretty good Christmas movie. Its a great movie for kids, that still has those funny moments where even adults will laugh.

Festive for sure, but tends to drag on with no humor as an elf becomes depressed because he can't save Santa from a human invasion at the North Pole.

love it very festive good story aswell funny and enjoyable for a big kid like me ha ha

Nice to have a new and different Christmas movie to watch instead of the normal ones we see every year :)

I really want to see this movie its amazing and ino that cause I watched the trailler

The animated children's film Saving Santa is a whimsical holiday adventure that tries a little too hard. When the North Pole is attacked an aspiring inventor elf named Bernard attempts to save Santa by using Santa's sled to travel back in time. Featuring Martin Freeman, Tim Curry, and Ashley Tisdale, the film has a solid cast. And there are a number of charming and festive musical numbers. However, the animation style is rather crude and the characters lack a sense of life. Saving Santa has some production issues, but is still an entertaining film with a bit of Christmas magic to it.

It's cute, it's festive, it's christmassy and I liked it!

Honestly one of the Best christmas movie idea evar (yes, you would say time travel idea is not new, but in this concept it is at least for me). The animation is really good also (saw the behind the scenes of the story board to VFX or CG and was wonderful). The score was bloody brillant! And the voice overs wowed me. I must admit Martin has evolve as a singer from Confetti film to this (I know his family has musicians and singer, no doubt he has that on his vains). Tisdale has evolve quite too, but still not my fave singer, not even on that High School Musical (how I even watch that?). Anyway, enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving! - Nov. 27, 2013

Great children's story, surprisingly fun and lighthearted. Martin Freeman does a wonderful job, and the songs will make their way inside your head for the whole holiday season.

Warm-hearted animated elf story with mild violence.
