- Quotes
Jessica Slocum: [in front of audience in school play] Wait a minute; have a heart. Santa doesn't... Santa doesn't...
Nicholas: [whispering to Jessica on stage] ... doesn't know where to start.
Jessica Slocum: [continues] Santa doesn't know where to start. Solving problems is not his line. It's everyone's - it's yours, it's mine. So if it's the world you want to save, you have to be a lot more brave. So don't put it all on Santa, or some little elf. This is something you do yourself!
- ConnectionsEdited from The Magical World of Disney: A Mom for Christmas (1990)
The theme of a statue coming to life occurs throughout classic literature. The original Pygmalian, as described by Ovid, was a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he had made, brought her to life with a kiss, and married her. So, enjoy this film for what it is -- easy to watch entertainment that is fun for all. Good script and fine acting by a cast that finds exactly the right pitch to tell a modern fairy tale.
