What kind of Christmas gift could a girl like Madeline possibly ask for from Santa? When Madeline and the other girls pine for a snowy Christmas during a winter heat wave, Lord Koo-Kooface takes the girls to a place guaranteed to be snowy--the North Pole. The group arrives at the North Pole on Christmas Eve, just in time to witness all but one of Santa's elves succumbing to a bad case of the flu. Can Madeline and the girls somehow keep Santa on schedule or will Christmas be cancelled? And what about Madeline's Christmas wishes? The story continues in "Madeline and Santa," when Santa eats so many of Madeline's homemade chocolate yule logs that he no longer fits down the chimneys. Can Madeline and Santa brainstorm a solution to deliver the world's Christmas presents on time? Narrated in verse and colorfully animated, this duo of Madeline episodes is charming, wholesome holiday entertainment for children ages 2 to 7. --Tami Horiuchi

Customer Reviews:

Good entertainment and teaches something too.......2003-02-24

After seeing the poor reviews available, I thought I would add something more helpful -- about the programs themselves. The Madeline programs are sweet, well produced, have clever songs and important messages. My daughters have discovered and love Madeline - I am thankful for something that is good quality to watch, that doesn't have villains, violence and messages that fly over my 2 & 4 yr. olds' heads. (Message re previous reviews: You can choose the episode by pressing "menu"; and the fact that they are not in French does not detract from the quality and impact of the programs.

A Complaint with the DVD format.......2002-05-07

Well, I have only one complaint, and it should serve as a warning to DVD viewers: The DVD does not go directly to the menu when you put it in to the player. It plays the three episodes BEFORE going to the menu.

Other than that, the episodes were great! I just love the songs there!

French Version Please...for all Madeline DVDs.......2002-01-01

I enjoyed "Madeline at the North Pole", but was very disappointed when I went to the 'Languages' section and did not have 'French' as one of the languages to hear the movie in. Madeline is French! All of her DVDs should offer a French language choice under the 'languages' setting of all Madeline DVDs. My 7 year old daughter has been studying French for 2 years because she loves Madeline and the idea that she is French.

I only gave this DVD 3 stars because the French language was not available as a choice on this DVD. When the setting of all Madeline books, VHS, and DVDs are in France and the main character is French, then the sensible thing would be to offer French as one of the language choices on all of Madeline's DVDs in the future.

Sincerely,

Product Description

An animated series based on the popular children's books.

In the end, though, she always comes out all right.
