Blurb from IMDb: When a clumsy elf
accidentally shrinks two kids on Christmas Eve, they get scooped up into
Santa's sack. When they are dropped off across the street, the tiny kids have
to navigate holiday hazards to make it home safely.

Point of View:
When
I saw the descriptive blurb for Tiny Christmas, I envisioned that the movie
would be a holiday-themed updated spin on something like Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989). I wasn’t entirely wrong, and yet I
don’t feel like I was right either.
The
Nickelodeon label gave me a slight clue about what I was in store for – a romp
of silliness. The network is synonymous with children’s programming almost as
much as the mouse house is. Though, a G rating is not always guaranteed.
(Nickelodeon was the network, after all, that ran the original Ren & Stimpy (1991) which was
entirely not suitable for children.) This movie, however, lands solidly in that
safe-for-kids-of-all-ages zone.
There
are breakpoints throughout the film that are expected from a made-for-TV
program. They aren’t as smooth as I would generally hope them to be, but it
wasn’t anything worth flipping tables over.
I
think younger kids might get a kick out of the movie. It’s not one that I’d go
out of my way to watch again. It is, however, a cute movie with a positive
message.
