    Fun fact: Tom Kenny said at a convention that when he got a call to do Elf Bowling, he'd never heard of the recording location. He drove around LA and wound up in a sketchy neighborhood. The "recording studio" turned out to be some rundown apartment building.

      That kinda reminds me how the late Anne Bancroft had to record in a rundown house to record her lines for Delgo. Her lines even had the sounds of toilets flushing in the background.

      This is the first of those ten-sin musicals where I feel like Diva was wasting her time on the movie. Christi Estele has a more thorough understanding of what makes musicals tick than anyone else I've seen reviewing bad musicals, and while her film studies can't compare to the likes of Lindsay Ellis or Dan Olsen, she's more than competent in that regard. This movie doesn't need that kind of skill to explain why it doesn't work, and it feels like the only thing Diva brought to the table that a more typical reviewer couldn't is examples of things that do X better and a calm demeanor. And hell jokes.

    I have a suggestion for an upcoming court case: an Australian animated movie from 1991 called "The Magic Riddle." It blends a bunch of fairy tales together and it goes horribly wrong.

      @Elsie Agreed. There was no cleanup and it was so dirty and rough. Cleanup is why Disney’s Snow White which predates the magic riddle by 54 years still looks pretty and polished. Also the terrible lip sync hung despite presumably having English as its original language. And some animation bloopers. Also the awful songs that are often pointless or confusing (like when Philip asks where Cindy came from when they were both just at her house)

    Honestly, I think saying that 8-year-olds wrote this movie is an insult! 8-year-olds could write MUCH better than this shit!
    All joking aside though, while this whole thing about crude and vulgar humor does tend to be a preliminary problem with kids' media, I find it's just as (if not more) abundant in adult-oriented media (particularly with a lot of Adult Swim "comedies")!
    13:45 Also, did it not occur to Dingle that he might want to make sure that Lex was INSIDE the building, and not want to slam the door to let the curtain go down and reveal that the building is a sweat shop, that way no one would be onto his plans and...I've already put a lot more thought into this movie than any of the writers have just on that one detail alone!
    And not to go off on any tangents regarding this being another 10-sins case, but I certainly would have found that 10th sin justifiable, not only because it just draws out this painful movie by completely repeating a sequence that already happened, but also because these two idiots pretty much just wasted their last minutes of Christmas-delivery on this one game AFTER THE F*CKING ELVES HAVE ALREADY MASSIVELY PROCRASTINATED ON MAKING TOYS!!!

    Maybe I should also nominate 2017's A Christmas Story Live musical from Fox, because it's such a missed opportunity. The original cast album is one of my favorite Broadway scores of recent years, but they made too many songs overblown production numbers ("The Genius On Cleveland Street" works better as a solo number and character establishing song for the Old Man, not as some roided-up fantasy sequence), replaced a good song with a so-so one, and shortened other good ones. Then again, not having seen the stage production as yet, I'm not sure how many of its faults come from the TV version's writers and how many come from the revisions to the show. I understand they released the cast album too soon, and the show underwent some serious revisions after its release, changing several lyrics (including the entire opening number's) and adding at least one song which was spotlighted on the Tonys, but isn't on the album.
