The 9 Best Christmas Movies for Toddlers - We Got This Covered

Christmas. It’s here again. Didn’t we just have one of those? Why do things fly by so fast? Regardless, it’s that special time of year for you and your family, and with Christmas, comes Christmas movies — and the time-honored tradition of everyone gathering on the couch in front of the fire place to watch something the whole family can enjoy. That can be tough with toddlers.

While there are movies that you might like or want to watch, they aren’t always going to hold the attention of the little ones crawling around your household. It can be hard to find literally anything to hold their fleeting attention spans, but not to worry, we’re here to help.

Here is a list of our favorite picks for movies for toddlers this holiday season.

Sesame Street Double Feature: Elmo’s Christmas Countdown and Christmas Eve on Sesame Street

This bountiful double-feature is jam-packed with all your favorite Sesame Street characters, like Elmo, Abbey Caddaby, Ernie, Bert, Big Bird, Oscar, Cookie Monster, The Count, Grover, Snuffy and Kermit the Frog.

It’s also jam-packed with celebrities as well, to keep the adults kind of entertained too. In Christmas Countdown, Ben Stiller plays Still the Elf, who tells a story to Stan the Snowball about how Christmas was almost ruined. Stiller enlists Elmo and Abby Cadabby to help.

Christmas Eve on Sesame Street is a bonafide classic from the early days of Street back in 1978. We get all the perennial favorites trying to make sure Santa can fit down a chimney, and that he has milk and cookies when he does. Spoiler: Cookie Monster makes that a little difficult.

Curious George: A Very Monkey Christmas

Everyone’s favorite precocious monkey, Curious George, stars in this adventure about the true meaning of Christmas. This one came out in 2009 and chronicles how George and The Man with the Yellow Hat both have to figure out what to get each other for Christmas.

George’s Christmas list is all weird shapes and The Man has to decipher it somehow. Meanwhile, The Man tells George to just surprise him, but George doesn’t know what to do. Fun for everyone!

Peter Rabbit’s Christmas Tale

This continuation of Beatrix Potter’s all-time favorite children’s books takes Peter out of Mr. McGregor’s garden and into the hearts of children everywhere. In this heartwarming story, food is scarce and Peter and his cousin Benjamin want to help out during the annual winter food delivery dropoff.

They use a family sled to cart along the goods but run into some issues along the way, the least of which is not a sneaky fox looking to make the food his own. This is the first and only Christmas special from the Nickelodeon TV series.

Olivia Claus

This fun Christmas special about Olivia the pig features a litany of different stories, including a hang out at a beach party, Olivia’s dreams of becoming Santa and how she deals with the loss of Matilda, her favorite doll.

There’s another special too, called Olivia’s Christmas Surprise. This is perfect for all the Olivia fans out there who just can’t get enough of her silly antics.

Pete the Cat: A Very Groovy Christmas

The very cool and laid-back cat Pete is here to mellow out your Christmas vibes, man. In this groovy special, Pete and his buds want to get a lot of cool gifts, which don’t we all? If anyone personifies the true spirit of Christmas, it’s Pete.

Of course, those intentions turn inward and the gang ends up helping a bunch of people on the way and learn that the best part of Christmas is giving instead of getting. But is it?

VeggieTales – The Best Christmas Gift

This is the first VeggieTales Christmas special episode. It’s about how Bob and Larry are prepping for a very important Christmas show, but things aren’t coming together as planned. Bob struggles with the correct way to celebrate since things aren’t going well, but after they travel to the first Christmas and witness firsthand how difficulties are a part of it, things smooth over.

If you’re a VeggieTales fan, you’re going to love the themes and storyline of this one. …Well, your toddler will.

The Elf on the Shelf: An Elf’s Story

A fun take on the whole “Elf on a Shelf” Christmas tradition, this story tells the tale of Chippey, a “scout” elf tasked with helping nine-year-old Taylor McTuttle restore their belief in Christmas magic. However, the boy breaks the most important elf on a shelf rule, and in the process dooms Chippey to an existence sans his magic.

Taylor and Chippey eventually learn to work together and realize that true belief has to come from inside and nowhere else. It’s full of singing, dancing, magic and a wholesome message that no matter what happens, you can always carry the Christmas spirit in your heart.

Stick Man

When we think of men made from sticks, usually it’s all about Groot, but Stick Man is a fun, irreverent take on the Christmas spirit that will keep your little one coming back and back. It’s based on a 2008 book where the titular character escapes a dog, gets stuck in a river, escapes from a swan (sensing a theme here) and even almost gets burned up in a fire.

Despite all his obstacles, he still needs to make it home in time to celebrate Christmas with his family. Will he make it? Fans of The Gruffalo’s Child will immediately recognize the character and have some built in institutional knowledge about the character, since Stick Man is a spin-off from that series.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

A stop-motion classic that originally premiered in 1964, this tale about Santa’s most famous reindeer and his shiny nose made quite the splash when it first premiered. It also has the distinction of being shown every year on TV since its premiere, not just once, but several times over the season.

The story involves Rudolph being born with a glowing red nose and how he learns that his red nose is not a burden and something to be ashamed of, but something to be proud of. Some of the themes are a little dated for this generation but it still holds up as a testament to the perseverance of the Christmas spirit.

Vietnam Film Industry for Foreign Firms - Vietnam Briefing

The Vietnamese film “Tet o lang Dia Nguc” (Hellbound Village) occupied the top spot for weeks in Vietnam on streaming platforms Netflix and K+ Original, proof that Vietnamese films are becoming increasingly popular. This presents myriad investment opportunities for foreign movie makers, investors, and distributors. Here’s where they are.

---

When compared to other Southeast Asian countries, the Vietnamese film market lags behind in terms of film production and revenue. Thailand, for instance, hosts a significant number of foreign film productions, with 222 films made in the country in the first half of 2023 alone. This brought in revenue of 1.84 billion baht (US$52.2 million), an increase of 132.8 million baht (US$3.7 million), compared to the previous year. In contrast, over the last decade, Vietnam has had only 256 foreign film projects according to the Department of Cinema at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Furthermore, Vietnam’s film consumer market is relatively undeveloped. In Indonesia, with its large population of approximately 270 million people, it is estimated by Statista that revenue from movie ticket sales will reach US$131.80 million by 2023. While Vietnam has a population of nearly 100 million, its movie market is only a fraction of the size, with an expected revenue of US$16.63 million this year.

Nevertheless, domestically produced films in Vietnam have achieved substantial revenue. For example, a handful of local films have generated hundreds of billions of Vietnamese dong in revenue, according to Box Office Vietnam in the past few years. “The House of No Man” took in VND 458 billion (US$18.9 million), “Dad, I’m Sorry” made VND 395 billion (US$16.2 million), and “Face Off 6: The Ticket Of Destiny” recorded revenue of VND 272 billion (US$11.2 million).

These positive indicators suggest that the Vietnamese film industry holds promise and with the right investment strategy, foreign firms could profit handsomely from the Vietnamese film market.

Investment opportunities

Distribution

According to Statista, the revenue in the Box Office sector in Vietnam is projected to have an annual growth rate of 5.95 percent from 2023 to 2028. This growth trajectory is anticipated to result in a market volume of approximately US$54.76 million by 2028.

Foreign entities interested in investing in Vietnamese cinema establishments can do so under the Vietnamese Cinema law. There are two primary methods for collaboration and investment in the film industry:

• Establishing an organization with foreign investment, where the foreign capital does not exceed 51 percent of the total capital; or
• Signing a Business Cooperation contract, which enables foreign entities to enter into contractual agreements with Vietnamese partners for film production and distribution.

Notably, South Korean companies CGV and Lotte have swiftly expanded their presence in Vietnam’s cinema industry. They have accomplished this by establishing theaters across the country and becoming key film distributors.

These foreign companies’ ability to generate substantial profits from the Vietnamese market underscores the lucrative nature of the film industry in Vietnam. As the market continues to expand, there will be ample opportunities for both domestic and foreign companies to capitalize on the growing demand for quality films.

Visual effects

The rising demand for films that explore science fiction and superhero themes has created a growing need for unique and realistic visual effects (VFX). In response to this demand, many foreign companies have chosen Vietnam as the location for creating the cinematic effects for their films. These companies often hail from renowned film industries, such as Korea and Hollywood.

One of the reasons behind this choice is that Vietnam offers high-quality VFX services that are on par with more advanced countries, while also providing a competitive cost advantage. Additionally, the country’s VFX industry benefits from a growing pool of talented Vietnamese professionals who have been involved in various international projects.

Sparx*, a notable VFX studio, stands as an excellent example of Vietnam’s contribution to large-scale cinematic works. The studio has been involved in the production of blockbuster franchises, such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, and Transformers. In the widely popular Netflix series “Squid Game,” which was made in Korea, several Vietnamese names appeared in the Digital Artists section of the credits.

Infrastructure development

The cinema industry in Vietnam presents lucrative opportunities for investors to build and upgrade cinemas across the country. By investing in such infrastructure, the overall cinema experience can be improved, attracting more audiences who are willing to pay for a premium film experience.

One recent example of cinema development is Lotte’s opening of a highly modern theater complex at Lotte Mall Tay Ho in Hanoi. This complex boasts 1007 seats, including two high-class Charlotte screening rooms with private waiting rooms and complimentary beverages.

With its large scale and high standards, Lim Ki Wan, head of Lotte Cinema Vietnam, expressed his vision for the company to become a key player in big-screen experiences.

“We are planning to become a leading theater complex that will lead Vietnam in how to build modern facilities and interiors while combining theater operating know-how accumulated over many years,” he told CafeBiz.

Advancements in film technologies also provide opportunities for cinema investors. By investing in cutting-edge equipment, such as digital projectors and audio systems, the quality of film screenings can be enhanced, creating a more captivating viewing experience for audiences.

The impact of modern formats in the Vietnamese market can be seen in Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” documentary. Screenings of this film in IMAX in Vietnam generated significant interest, often leading to overcrowded theaters. The documentary has earned over 19 billion VND (approximately US$800,000) within 17 days of being released in Vietnam.

Ancillary businesses

Tourism and events

Developing film-themed attractions, organizing film festivals, and offering film-related tours can appeal to both local and international visitors, and can create a profitable venue stream for investors.

This strategy has proven successful in other countries, such as Thailand, where the filming locations of popular dramas and movies have drawn countless tourists. For instance, historical sites in Ayutthaya, Phuket Island, and Bangkok have become popular destinations after the success of “King the Land” from Korea, “Love Destiny 2” from Thailand, and “The Hangover Part II” from Hollywood. This phenomenon has contributed significantly to Thailand’s tourism industry, with the government reporting 15 million foreign visitors within the first seven months of 2023. This is in part a result of effective campaigns by the Tourism Authority of Thailand and the government’s attractive policies for international filmmakers.

Vietnam, with its diverse potential in nature and tourism, can learn from Thailand’s experience and further develop its film-related tourism industry. One local example is the blockbuster movie “Kong: Skull Island”. Following the film’s release, various locations in Vietnam, such as the Tu Lan cave system, Phong Nha cave in Quang Binh, Trang An ecological area, Tam Coc, and Van Long Lagoon in Ninh Binh, as well as Ha Long Bay in Quang Ninh, all became popular tourist hotspots.

Technical training

Investing in film training institutes or academies could be another option for investors as the demand for skilled professionals in the film industry continues to grow. By offering specialized training programs in areas such as directing, screenwriting, cinematography, and film production, these institutes can groom aspiring filmmakers to fulfill the industry’s talent requirements.

Moreover, the importance of film training and education is recognized by the Vietnamese government. The Cinema Law 2022 encourages training and technology transfer to develop human resources in Vietnamese cinema, including cooperation with foreign countries.

That said, in Vietnam, film training is an area that has been relatively untouched by schools and educational institutions. Currently, there are only a few options available for individuals interested in pursuing a career in the film industry. One example is RMIT University’s Bachelor of Digital Film and Video course. However, this is just one of very few. This, however, presents a unique opportunity for investors to enter the market and enjoy a first-mover advantage.

What do investors need to pay attention to?

Cultural and censorship issues

Investors looking to enter the Vietnamese film industry should be aware of the guidelines and regulations that govern the content of films. Vietnamese censors are sensitive to topics such as politics, religion, and social issues. Understanding and complying with these guidelines is crucial to avoid conflicts and ensure a film’s success.

For example, in 2019 cinema chain CGV was fined VND 170 million (US$7,030) for screening the movie “Abominable” in which there is a map with the “nine-dash Line”. Similarly, the movie “Barbie” was banned over a perceived depiction of China’s controversial claim over the South China Sea.

Paying attention to cultural sensitivities can not only prevent miss-steps but may also pay dividends. Vietnam has a rich cultural heritage, and local audiences often appreciate films that reflect their values, traditions, and history. Investors should carefully consider this when developing film concepts, storylines, and characters.

Competitive market

The Vietnamese film market is highly competitive, particularly due to the presence of foreign cinema chains. According to data from Statista and Q&Me, CGV Cinema holds the largest market share with 83 branches, accounting for approximately 45 percent of the market. Its Korean rival, Lotte, comes in second with a market share of 26 percent. Collectively, these two Korean giants dominate more than 70 percent of the cinema market in Vietnam. The remaining pie is divided among local businesses Galaxy Cinema, BHD Star, and Beta Cinemas.

The significant market dominance of foreign competitors highlights the intense competition faced by investors entering the Vietnamese film market.

Moving forward

The Vietnamese film market holds immense potential for further development, with numerous untapped opportunities. However, to compete effectively, investors need to plan carefully and ensure they understand the local market dynamics and the competitive landscape. Along with that, the content must align with local expectations to avoid reputational concerns. Foreign investors should thus consider partnerships and collaborations with local film production companies, distributors, and content creators.

As investors venture into the vibrant Vietnamese film market, seeking professional guidance and support can significantly enhance their prospects for success. In this respect, Dezan Shira & Associates, with its extensive consulting experience in Vietnam and a team of seasoned experts, well-versed in the intricacies of the local film industry, stands ready to assist.
