SNEKKER ANDERSEN OG JULENISSEN

Watchable. A pleasant palette forms a truly warm family Christmas movie. Santa Claus's family lives in a large tree trunk and has a moss-padded sofa. Adults are all well-meaning. It's all heart-warming. Even the dubbing sounds nice. Too many beginnings and endings cause confusion in a child audience.

LES AS DE LA JUNGLE (THE JUNGLE BUNCH)

Watchable. I've seen it all before. A cartoon for older children/teenagers which applies all the gimmics of superhero movies, including the villain announcing a comeback and a mid- and a post-credit. You have to switch off your brain frequently. At least the animation has texture so the rhino's skin, hedgehog's needles, rocks and water look realistic. It's all in bright colours and the main protagonists, a patchwork family, are cute.

BARBIE: DOLPHIN MAGIC

Recommended. It transfers you right onto a tropical holiday on the sea. It's lovely, cheerful and just delightful. For girls of all ages. And for some boys. Cute ones because the cartoon features a lot of pink. The story's clear-cut and, gently, tackles exploitation of rare animals for profit. But the big blue and green eyes take away all the weight it could have had otherwise. When human girls have labrador puppies, mermaids have dolphins. I hardly noticed the dubbing, sounded so natural.
