Snowtime!

Worst animated movie ever. Literally no discernable plot, no message, and the fatherless child got off killing a dog by playing a song. Does not teach about any consequences and does nt have a plot. Also makes child soliders look good.

I grew up in the mid to late 80's with,'The Dog Who Stopped The War,' playing in the Christmas-time and the film means a lot to me. I bought it on DVD the first chance I got in the early 2000's. When I first heard they were doing an animated version of the film I figured it would be botched like most legacy properties are today. I skipped watching it and mainly forgot about it. On a whim I gave it a watch the other day and I must say I was genuinely amazed at what a great job they did in updating the story from both an animation and a generational standpoint. For the most part, it reminded me of growing up with TDWSTW and how much I loved that film as a young kid while bringing it's own take on the story. Highly recommended for anyone with kids, especially during the holidays. The original is still the best but this one holds it's own.

Kids in a small town organizes a snow ball war. It's a Canadian animated kid's film. I like some of the designs but the animation is more rudimentary. It's second tier computer animation which fits more for TV. There is some fun drawn animation. The story is somewhat simple. It started to lose its narrative drive and then it introduces an important idea. It could have gotten there a little faster. This is fine.

I loved this movie at first...kids having fun ...no bullying..smiles & laughter..AND then...WTH!!! Very Very Sad Event!!! I wish I would have not watched it....Yes, I know that death happens in life but still....

Why are people being so negative about this awesome movie? Half the comments say it's not for kids and it's not good and their kids are crying, well it isn't for the kids that's why it's Certified as "PG" which means "Parental Guidance". You need to watch the movie before you let your kids watch it, This is an amazing movie that showed the essence of the war and it's after effects. Didn't you read that in the introduction when the movie starts? It really is a beautiful movie, stop being so negative, someone even commented saying that "The movie was great at the starting but the ending was horrible" well I got a Question for you, was there a war that ended well with happiness and without killing anybody? No, right? This movie just said that dude, just open your eyes and read the introduction, don't watch just for the sake of it.

7.9 of 10. Not that 2015 had much competition, but this is a well-thought out story based on a book. Both family friendly and something parents will enjoy watching with all their kids. The one drawback is the ending tries too hard to make a happy ending out of a tragedy, probably because it's intended for kids for the most part. I wonder if it's even allowed to make tragic films intended for kids, some sort of secret rating rule. For the most part, this is one big allegory made into a tightly integrated cartoon involving kids, snow, and building snow forts. There's a little romantic tween interest going on that should keep teens interested. Importantly, it's not forced and a vital part of the story.

Just don't - what in the actual were they thinking about? Make it a PG at least rather than upset small children

Mom and I watched this movie last night. Cute film. When I first read the synopsis I was surprised and pleased to note that this was a reboot of La Guerre des Tuques (the Dog Who Stopped the War), which we had been made to watch back in my elementary school days as part of our obligatory French Immersion process by the QC government, and despite that, had still enjoyed. This reboot is just as good, if not better, when it comes to ensuring all-ages enjoyment.

It's an animated kids movie, but it has lots of elements everyone in the family can enjoy. Really like the character design of the animation. Very unique and artistic, plus in help to create even more individuality in a group of kids that are already individuals. There is a kid that everyone can relate to in this film. I was a little surprise how clearly the adult themes about war came in through this movie. I never seen that done before, it was so obvious and added a dark element usually not scene in a kids movie, but it's real cool, cause the film takes into account how smart this generation is and how aware they are of the world around them. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a good children's movie to sit thought with the kids.
