Amazon.com: Anyone piqued, appalled, or otherwise puzzled by the offbeat Christmas tune that elbows its way onto the airwaves each year will be pleased to know there's now a movie-length explanation for the tale of gratuitous granny-bashing. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, an animated feature produced for video, puts everything straight: Grandma Spankenheimer, a universally adored shopkeeper in the bustling town of Cityville, is the victim of a Christmastime conspiracy masterminded by Cousin Mel, her money-grubbing granddaughter. When Grandma refuses to sell her store to Austin Bucks, the local fat cat, Mel, determined to make a fortune, poisons a batch of the silver-haired do-gooder's famous fruitcakes with reindeer nip, thus causing Rudolph and company to crash into her while making their Christmas Eve rounds. Soon there's an APB out on Santa, named the culprit of a hit-and-run and possible kidnapping (Grandma, nowhere to be found, is sidelined with a nasty case of amnesia in the North Pole). For kids 6 and older, this video's smirkiness isn't likely to overshadow its somewhat convoluted message about the holiday spirit, but in grownups what resounds is not the anti-greed and goodwill sentiments but the degree to which society has slunk into cynicism since the Grinch's heyday. Gary Chase serves up a spirited rendition of the title tune plus a handful of other nifty, off-the-wall Yuletide nuggets. --Tammy La Gorce
Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer I loved it and so did my grandkids. Its silly and very entertaining for all ages. A boy, his dog, grandma and grandpa, a sister, mom, dad, a greedy cousin and her lawyer, and of course Santa and his reindeer and elves-covers all the necessary characters for an enjoyable and interesting hour of fun. It isn't exactly like the song, but most movies aren't exactly like the books either.
My 5 year old loves it The only way for most adults to rate a movie like this is by how much their kids like it. My 5 year old daughter just loves it and it seems cute and harmless to me, so I gave it 5 stars. She watches it all the time, not just at Christmas. Of course, she also forces me to keep a CD of Christmas carols in my truck so that we can be driving around in June singing Jingle Bells, but that's another story.
I love this movie. This movie to me is funny and very good for kids, to me I watch it every chrismas making it traditonal to ma and hopefully to you too.
A fun movie for kids I'm reading some of the reviews and I think some people are over analyzing it. It's a fun movie that was based off a song that kids love. It's not exactly like the song. Some things were added in for the story line but I think that if you have kids, they will love this movie. At least ours does.
Kids love it....... This is our two youngest sons, ages 6 & 2, favorite movie. It doesn't have to be Christmas, they want to watch it all the time year round. They have alot of videos but this is the one that they are constantly wanting to watch. My husband, myself and our 9 year old really like this movie too. We have all watched it many times and we all think it is a really cute movie but out two smallest absolutely love it.
