A story where green lantern John Stewart, the sultan from Aladdin, and Arthur King of the Britains go to through the desert. Why did this not make millions?
Thanks to a handful of my audience who were keen to point this out to me when I originally posted this video, I am now fully aware of Epiphany, or Three Kings Day. Since this movie is intended for American audiences (most of whom probably know nothing of Three Kings Day), maybe the narrator could have TOLD US about this holiday so the idea of the three kings giving gifts like Santa Claus doesn't sound completely ridiculous and out of nowhere. Thank you, movie!
Sadly, that's the problem with films like this. They assume the audience (adults and kids alike) are too stupid to comprehend a holiday besides Christmas or something, so they act like it doesn't exist and don't explain so it doesn't fudge up our "world-view". Movies suck sometimes, don't they?
Hinatachan360 My mother and cousin were born on the EVE of Epiphany. So all my aunts and uncles and their kids would come over to our house and celebrate their birthday and play music till late at night. Meanwhile all of us kids wanted to kick them all out so the Kings could show up at our house XD
So if Melchior supposed to be Santa based on that coal joke, does that mean he represents Christmas while Caspar represents Hanukkah and Balthazar represents Kwanzaa? Actually, that would be a lot better than them playing Santa on the 5th of January.
Gabriel LaVedier I don’t think that these other traditions were that insane, I concede that different cultures have different traditions, but this is basically making up a completely different story and every once in a while mentioning Jesus will soon be born.
Keep in mind this is a Spanish movie. In Spain the Wise Men are called "Los Reyes Magos," the literal translation being "The Wizard Kings." That's why they're wizards. And why the Star calls them "kings" when giving them their treasures.
I was thinking the same thing. And weird how this movie turned The Three Wise Men into wizards. They were Zoroastrian astronomers, but last time I checked, observing the stars is not the same as performing spells. What were the filmmakers thinking when they made this movie?
Yoshiya 'Joshua' Kiryu #319 My mother was a missionary and my father was a deacon. Yes, there are a few Christians in Japan. Few in number but they do exist. 😄👍
If I was making a movie about Three Kings Day, it would still take place in modern day America but the kid is someone who doesn't know about Three Kings Day and has to be told by a narrator who is apart of a culture that celebrates it. I would choose someone who was Mexican-American or any Latin American culture since they are big about Epiphany. And he would tell the child about the Wise Men and a more accurate but dramatic description of their journey. The Wise Men wouldn't only be there, but it would also focus on Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. To make it a little bit more accurate, they wouldn't get to Bethlehem until Jesus was two as it was told in the Bible. They could make Herod cartoonishly villainous, but he would look more accurately Middle Eastern. I do like the Dreamworks 2D late 90's/early 00's style of animation. I kind of wish Dreamworks could make movies like that again. And make them just astronomers, and not magicians because the Bible has a thing against magic users.
You make a very good point as well that it should be on a Latino perspective, it would be a good way to utilize that representation with the holiday. I’m Puerto Rican and although I’m not Christian, it’s become a big staple here in the Island. I wish it was utilized more as it’s dear to my heart. I also vividly remember this tradition, my dad would have us pick grass and leave water for the Wise Men’s “camels” when they’d arrive at night. Not sure if that’s common but it’s a nice memory of my childhood.
Interestingly, this movie came out around the same time that certain people in the industry were trying to capitalize off the success of "The Prince of Egypt". Toss this one in the barrel alongside the likes of "Joseph, King of Dreams", "El Arca", and "Muhammad, the Last Prophet".
"[This movie] has the very clear message that Christmas these days has so little to do with Jesus, not even his *origin story* has any Jesus in it!" So...it was written by James Tynion IV?
Wow. I was not expecting animation this nice. It looks very similar to "Help! I'm a Fish." Feels like some folks who worked on Don Bluth films are animating here as well. The broad fluid gestures seem very familiar to me. Actually, scratch that, I'm getting a much stronger "Pagemaster" vibe.
Oh~ It's a ReUpload that explains. I was very confused at first when i heard "Christmas in July" but seeing as how much trouble you're having with copyright it doesn't surprise me that this is a ReUpload. I'll rewatch it anyway~ it's been a while since July!
Yo, they're not a 'second santa', depending on the calendar you follow, Christmas is either on the 25th of december or the 5th of january. That's why you see Christmas stuff up into january.
I always hate it when they say that a female character is strong but all we get is a very unpleasant woman who says that she is capable, but more often than not needs to be saved by a man. That doesn’t make a woman a warrior, that makes her a bitch. A good example of a strong female character who kicks ass is Brienne of Tarth, she is strong because she kicks the ass of almost everyone there and she is a very tall woman, she doesn’t go around saying that she is a good fighter, she actually proves that she is a good fighter. Also when do right there is Wonder Woman who is a very kind character, but a very powerful warrior too. Being a strong female character doesn’t mean you have to be unpleasant, Brienne and Wonder Woman prove that. Also a strong female character also doesn’t mean that you have to be a warrior either, a strong female character can have strong convictions too or be useful in other areas like in intelligence like Hermione Granger is. So while the characters I listed along with other great ones will be remembered for a long time, I think that this lady will be forgotten very soon.
Still awaiting those movies about the _other_ gift-givers: St. Lucia (December 13th), La Befana (Epiphany), and Perchta/Berchte/Frau Holle (also Epiphany). EDIT: I would have done the tests for the gifts differently. In order to get the gold, you have to prove your not greedy by not taking the other treasures in the room. In order to get the frankincense, you have to trust in your own senses to find it by ignoring the illusions in the room. In order to get the myrrh, you have to prove your compassion by choosing between plain water and myrrh on the same pedestal, you have to give up one to get the other, and you're only worthy of the myrrh if you bring the water to your thirsty companions.
If you want a good Wise Man story, watch The First Noel. It's cute, more faithful to the original story, and told in clever rhyme! It's like 20 minutes long and I can't press more how much I love it.
@@98953812 If I wanted Tolkeinism with my Christmas I would just watch Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy and The Lord of Rings trilogy since all six of those movies were released around Christmas time.

you sure xena jolie and that warrior guy just weren't suppose to be apart of some other drafted show/movie but the company who made the movie forced them into this wise men movie?
I love three kings day and got so excited but I then was immediately baffled! they may Disney's Hercules look historically accurate by comparison! at least the animation seemed pretty to look at. felt a little like those education CD games for middle schools with cut scenes. if your going to do Christmas movies.....could you do Barbie's the nutcracker movie? its the first Barbie movie and lots of kids I know tend to put it on around this time of year
For Christmas in July 2018, could you maybe review "Nester the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey"? I've honestly never seen it, but the title has always fascinated me because it sounds like it COULD be totally crazy
It's far from crazy. It's actually pretty depressing. Think of Dumbo, but with a donkey instead, and it takes place during Jesus' time as opposed to being in a circus. Despite it being sad, I think it's really cute and charming.
I'll give them points about the three "Wise Men" being mages right. They were supposedly magi given what I've read, which is an olden term for "magician".
Awsome video but In many countries the wise man bring the presents, not old st Nick. Just Google "los reyes" In Spain, Its a great exemple. In other countries like France they eat the "cake of kings" or King Cake In the US, looking at You New Orléans!
So I'm confused, according to my research the heliocentric theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun was not really ever proposed until Copernicus introduced it which was around a 1000 years or so after these events
They're cramming everything in, aren't they? It's like one writer wanted to do a Jesus movie, another one still believed in Greek myths, another one believed in goblins and something about Buddha...and they all kept fighting over what mythos got screentime, while they tied the whole thing together with a kid named Who Gives A Fuck.
25:50: That’s not a kangaroo rat, that’s a jerboa, kangaroo rats are native to North America and jerboas live in North Africa and the Middle East. This movie is dumb and insulting to story of the birth of Christ, the Wise Men never had magic, the practice of witchcraft is prohibited in Christianity( Although fantasy is one of my favorite movie genres). The Wisemen are also basically Santa Clause in this movie, were the writers drunk?! Can’t believe I liked this movie when I was young.
This movie looks like DreamWorks El durado and Disneys treasure planet had a one night stand and Disney's Atlantias offered to raise it because he knows what its like to be unwanted (Except Atlantis was actually decent)
"Stayin still, eyes closed, let the world pass me by, pain pills, nice clothes, if I fall I think I'll fly, touch me midas, make me part of your design, none to, guide us, I feel fear for the very last time"
Believe it or not, my grandma is from Spain and she told me that in Spain, they do celebrate Christmas into early January and that the 3 wise men deliver gifts on the 5th.
So, Lucifer sends one stupid cartoonish villain to team up with another cartoonish villain to stop the birth of Jesus? Either this movie's version of the Devil is impressively stupid or he just wanted to get rid of Belial
I see the Obious problems in This movie. However i still really like it. It is really creative and it is wonderful to see the 3 wise men get some spotlight. Especially when It's giving a nod to the Spanish traditions of the 3 wise men/the 3 Kings. I'm not Spanish myself but i have been tought about the traditions by my Spanish teacher. The more i learn about Los Reyes magos (the 3 Kings/wise men) the more i appreciate This movie even It's mistakes.
24:40 actually that's tradition in latin countries. On the night of January 5 the three wise men (los 3 reyes magos) bring gifts bretty much like santa claus.
Honestly? If they'd left out the religious context and simply made it a fantasy film without the random cuts to modern day events at the beginning and end, this movie probably could've been a guilty pleasure. The animation is quite impressive, the art style is nice, and the variety of oddball characters are interesting enough despite their overall lack of development, but the shoddy writing/editing, the lack of logic/consistency, and the fact that it's meant to be an adaptation of a biblical story makes it come across as abysmal and extremely bizarre. If they'd just made this 100% fantasy, I could actually kinda' see it being a Quest For Camelot cash-in attempt XD
I have been wanting to check this film out myself but I can't fine copies or even streaming of it anywhere! Seriously, even illegal sites don't have it - it's a no-show here in the UK.
25:16 ok the movie isnt good BUT in that parts defense it is a coomon tradition in latin america and parts euroup to say the 3 wise men bring presents on christiams instead of santa clause which is more common in the anglo -germanic sphere
I watched this movie a looong time ago, but for some reason my brain left out all the crazy scenes xD thanks brain, you always know what’s best for me xD but I have to admit I really like the animation, the story on the other hand... *points at Jimmy, the goblin, turning into a Nessie-Mantis hybrid thing*
this technically isn't a Christmas movie it's a movie for 3 kings day which is a separate holiday celebrated in Hispanic cultures so yeah not a Christmas movie edit- I should probably explain three kings day. celebrated on January 6th three kings day is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and Latin America where children leave out boxes of hay overnight for the camels of the three wise men to eat. the next day the children are rewarded for their help with gifts such as bicycles or skateboards.
God I remember watching this movie as a kid (russian dub since it didnt sound awful) and I never ever realized it was about THE Three wise men. The more you know
Maybe someone already said this and I'm not defending the movie, but I just wanted to explain why the 3 wise men are wizards. In Spanish, we call them "los Tres Reyes Magos", the 3 Magician Kings. They're called magicians because they were men of science when science was magic for common people, and Kings because of future events, where some Spanish author started to named them that way (like with the case of Santa's reindeers). That's why in the movie they have powers and are called kings. Again, I'm not defending the movie, but I wanted to add a little trivia.
the beginning of January is Part of the Christmas Season, until Epiphany Sunday when we Celebrate the Trio in Question, which is why it Opens in modern Time I Guess.
I swear this art style actually looks like a hybrid of that of Don Bluth’s and the early 2D Dreamworks style.
but it look's like a good christmas animated film
Yeah tobias has that Don Bluths young man haircut.
Scarlett Holt according to Don Bluth all young men have the same hairstyle, it is known.
Yeah and I really like it! ^-^

It always saddens me when crappy movies like this have such good animation.
Same here I like this movie
Actually, Jimmy is the name of the bummed out boy who just happens to share his voice actor with the goblin man.
I'm still calling him Jimmy though
I know people often get this wrong, but the wise men didn't meet Jesus in the stable, but at his family's house. Jesus was also a toddler by then.
Hinatachan360 oh, why don’t we learn this at school?!😨

ok the movie isnt good BUT in that parts defense it is a coomon tradition in latin america and parts euroup to say the 3 wise men bring presents on christiams instead of santa clause which is more common in the anglo -germanic sphere
11:19 Hi Doegy :)
Why is this only movie review that nobody talks about?
the boy in this movie looks like TJ Detweiler from Recess
Am I the only one who thinks Melcior looks like Maurice from Beauty and the Beast?
Yeah kinda
I watched this movie a looong time ago, but for some reason my brain left out all the crazy scenes xD thanks brain, you always know what’s best for me xD but I have to admit I really like the animation, the story on the other hand...
*points at Jimmy, the goblin, turning into a Nessie-Mantis hybrid thing*
I first heard about Martin Sheen ever since I watched an American dub of eyewitness
you'd think strong warrior woman would be wearing a bit more fabric considering she lives in a desert
this technically isn't a Christmas movie
it's a movie for 3 kings day which is a separate holiday celebrated in Hispanic cultures
so yeah not a Christmas movie
edit- I should probably explain three kings day. celebrated on January 6th three kings day is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and Latin America where children leave out boxes of hay overnight for the camels of the three wise men to eat. the next day the children are rewarded for their help with gifts such as bicycles or skateboards.
God I remember watching this movie as a kid (russian dub since it didnt sound awful) and I never ever realized it was about THE Three wise men. The more you know
I watched this movie when I was a kid and I really loved it.
January 5th, huh? That's my mom's birthday!
Maybe someone already said this and I'm not defending the movie, but I just wanted to explain why the 3 wise men are wizards. In Spanish, we call them "los Tres Reyes Magos", the 3 Magician Kings. They're called magicians because they were men of science when science was magic for common people, and Kings because of future events, where some Spanish author started to named them that way (like with the case of Santa's reindeers). That's why in the movie they have powers and are called kings.
Again, I'm not defending the movie, but I wanted to add a little trivia.
21:35 an awkward frame to pause at
the beginning of January is Part of the Christmas Season, until Epiphany Sunday when we Celebrate the Trio in Question, which is why it Opens in modern Time I Guess.
