If you like those kind of crappy 60's movies, this is the one. It has cheap spacecrafts and martians. And even an amazing looking robot (it's chest looks like a face).
I have to say that I saw this movie dubbed in spanish, and even this was cheap. So cheap that some sentences were still in english.
The story is one on the funniest I've seen, even if I don't think (I can't know it for sure) that it was the main point of the movie. The martians kidnap two terrestrial kids, who keep the christmas spirit for Santa. So what to do? Kidnap Santa for themselves, and be as happy as terrestrials.
The movie is meant to make your own christmas spirit grow, to make you feel good about what you have. Maybe to make you feel that technology isn't everything, but I saw this movie 45 years later is was recorded, so maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, it is an amazing film to see how the movies where made with not a lot of money and without computers help. There's also one of the best jokes I've ever heard:
"What’s soft and round and you can toast it in a griddle and it’s also green?"
Just watch the movie for the answer!!
