Mary Engelbreit: Night Before Christmas (2004)

Netflix does not list this spirited display of the artwork of Mary Engelbreit from her storybook version of Clement C. Moore's Night Before Christmas poem. The CGI is fairly good and Santa flies with magical sparkles under the reindeers' hooves. Basically Mary inserts a subplot after the first two lines of the poem where a vainglorious Christmas fairy would ruin Christmas but is thwarted by a good-hearted mouse who was still stirring. Mary's fans will love the program plus the extras, esp. the Meet Mary sitdown session in her studio. Blockbuster as well as Amazon and the New York Times credit Kevin Kline as narrator yet IMDB has no listing for this program. 3 stars.
