This movie is a hidden treasure which should be seen by kids and families everywhere! It sure puts the viewer in the Christmas mood. The animation is terrific and the characters are delightful. A few terrific songs are featured too.

Mr. Ranger takes care of Yellowstone National Park and he is good friends with cubs Nikomi and Chinook and their mother bear. While the bears prepare for their winter hibernation, Mr. Ranger gets ready for Christmas, decorating his tree and enjoying the warmth of a roaring fire in his cabin. However, the cubs decide to leave the cave to frolic in the snow and they come across Mr. Ranger at his cabin, who tells them about the true meaning of Christmas, and the child born in Bethlehem. He also shares the legend of Santa Claus and soon the cubs are anticipating a visit from old St. Nick. Mr. Ranger decides to dress up as Santa himself as he doesn’t wish to disappoint the cubs. However, a terrible snow storm slows his pace. Just when it looks like the cubs will be disappointed, a bit of a Christmas miracle occurs.

We highly recommend this humorous and warm family story for all ages and we are pleased to award it our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal.
