Eloise decides she must stop at nothing to coax Rachel back into the arms of Bill the waiter (Gavin Creel). Young), she learns of a wedding to be held on Christmas Eve between Peabody’s daughter Rachel (Sarah Topham) and sleazy Harvard alum Brooks Oliver III (Rick Roberts). When in the office of The Plaza’s owner, Mr. While Nanny is either sleeping or trying to put up holiday decorations, Eloise runs free in the luxury hotel getting into all sorts of hijinks with various guests and members of the staff. Six year old Eloise (Sofia Vassileva) lives in a penthouse in The Plaza Hotel with her Nanny (Julie Andrews). What the Disney folks ended up with was nothing full of joy, warmth, and holiday cheer but eighty-seven minutes that simply offends intelligence.most definitely the intelligence of this New Yorker. Already you can tell the enchantment has been diluted. Eloise at Christmastime takes that magic and tries to harness it for the sake of a Disney Channel TV movie. New York City during the “jingle bell” season is magical place to be. Now, is this Christmas movie worth it? No, it’s not, and if it was you would’ve heard of it before reading this review. Well, the folks over at Disney have put their Emmy award winning TV movie Eloise at Christmastime, based on the book by Hollywood lyricist and ensemble singer Kay Thompson, out on DVD shelves in time for the Holiday season. Just because there is a “popular” children’s book doesn’t necessarily mean it will automatically be worth watching when adapted for a different medium.

Or, any other day you feel like being goddamn adorable.Īnd, if you haven't watched it (or, just haven't watched it this year) HERE IS THE FULL FILM ON YOUTUBE.Christmas movies have to be entertaining in some fashion or else there is no point of it even existing.

I simply can't get enough of her style, so I pulled together some 'grown up' 6 year old outfits which would work remarkably well during the holidays.

Besides her being as stupendously fun (6 year old me would be her bestie). It's shocking, I know, but Eloise has a rawther large spot in my heart that I'll never give away no matter how good Will Ferrell looks in tights.Įloise is a 6 year old rabble rouser that lives in the Plaza Hotel with Nanny (Julie Andrews), her dog Weenie that looks like a cat, and her turtle Skipperdee. This movie, for whatever reason has become my favorite holiday film of all time. And I'll tell you what, it wasn't the last holiday season I watched it. Every year around this time, I nostalgically think back to the afternoon years ago when I popped in a VHS and curled up on my grandma's green corduroy chair to watch Eloise at Christmastime for the very first time.
