Limerculer
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Rio Hayward
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Billie Morin
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie had destroyed my self esteem and sense as a responsible human being at such a young age that I feel like a horrible person any time I get something from somebody. I understood no, and I didn't ask for a lot, but I got it because I was raised in a pretty alright financial situation and this movie made it out to be a horrible thing that I got what I wanted for Christmas as if it was a mortal sin. I hate movies like this and I hate the generic spoiled kid archetype almost as much as I hate real ungrateful kids. The movie is kinda just a generic "be good and not bad" Christmas movie and it's not much more than that, but god it messed me up so bad for no reason.

In the tradition of Scrooge and the Grinch comes Jeremy Creek A Greedy self centered young boy who has so many toys but just wants more.In the middle of the year he makes a really long letter to Santa so long that Santa and the elves can't believe that it came from one person they think it came from a poor town that Santa has forgot. This is an inspirational Story i heard of stories in the news similar to this people going out of there way to give to less fortunate even young kids doing good deeds around the holiday.Sadly i also hear stories of people stealing from the needy around this time.The town of Jeremy Creek is a poor dingy broken town that is in need of happiness at first Jeremy is angry that his toys went somewhere else but seeing what he done and the children's appreciation he learn what Christmas means and like most every bad character in a Christmas special he turns good at the end. Jeremy learn it's better to give then receive and give away most of his toys This can still be viewed on Youtube but good luck finding it on TV anymore.

Nice to start my review with a rhetorical question. Anyway, the Town Santa Forgot is very well done. It has a great timeless message, never be greedy, and is really nice to watch. Sadly, I do confess this isn't a cartoon that I grew up with, I saw this for the first time today. And why did I want to see this? Because of Dick Van Dyke, I have always loved him. And I have to say he does a marvellous job as the voice of the narrator/grandpa(who begins and ends the cartoon). Others pros are the wonderful whimsical animation, the beautiful music and the heart warming ending. The story telling of a very spoiled brat called Jeremy Creek is very charming, and the script is both funny and poignant. My only qualm is that it does drag only slightly in the middle.Other than that, this is a really nice watch. I do recommend it! 9/10 Bethany Cox

Three years before the "Tickle Me Elmo" craze, a selfish, greedy boy gets what toys he covets via sucking his thumb or thowing a tantrum. His parents gave up on him, purchasing no toys. In response, he writes a half-mile list to Santa, but when he receives it, a mishap occurred one Christmas Eve, thanks to a location found on a church-sized map. That taught the brat a lesson he'll never forget: letting each girl and boy not only look for the interests of his or her self, but for those of others too, such as the residents of an impovershed small town who received the brat's toys.Jeremy Creek stars in "The Town That Santa Forgot," a holiday classic in which it should be included in the Buy Nothing Day coverage on television. It has an implied moral that love and giving (or, additionally for Christians, Jesus) is the reason for the season, not the Invaders From Outer Space or a rocking horse. Narrated in the style of Dr. Suess, this will tug your heartstrings and (for those predicting a toy craze and those with kids) teach the life skills of being more altruistic.A perfect 10/10!
