I think the days of the big Christmas movie premiere are gone forever now.

Pretty certain that with IMDb help I could name thousands of Christmas films that aren't on this year. Not sure I see the point though.

![]() But obviously with DVD, Sky, Netflix, On Demand etc, there are are so many opportunities to see a film before its terrestrial premiere it isn't really much of an event anymore. I expect Frozen will still do well but the majority of the audience will be repeat viewers. |

These days they make films from comics and video games. Then they built this entire film around a song from another film. The resulting quality is pretty much the same which explains the Rotten Tomatoes critics rating of 75% compared to IAWL's 96%. Just saying.
1. It's in black and white. 2. Most of the film doesn't actually take place at Christmas. 3. Bing Crosby in blackface. |

No fear! Channel 5 to the rescue with their three daily afternoon D-movies about a woman in a festive love triangle.

Can't believe ITV movie on Christmas Day is Lion King from 1994. is that the best they could do. I love the film but it is so old competing with Frozen being shown on BBC1. it is only 2 years old. ITV could have shown a more recent premiere film.

I find it quite sad that the days of big premieres and must see Christmas tv on the terrestrial channels appears to be over. The big watch in our household is tonight's Bear Hunt and that's about it! |
