A holiday rescue combines talking dogs with children determined to help. The friendships offer warmth between the story's more anxious moments.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
An accident, threatened loss of Santa's magic, orphanage cruelty, separation, and apparent danger to a dog may upset sensitive viewers.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
