Parent Verdict
A holiday staple whose only issue is intensity: the runaway-train sequences over cracking ice are genuinely tense, and the mysterious hobo ghost on the roof unsettles some younger kids. Some children also find the early motion-capture animation style slightly eerie. Otherwise squeaky clean and fine for ages 5 and up.
