In the sequel to the Christmas Light our heroes have formed a team to enforce their holiday on all and battle the pointless Dr D! But most important of all, will they be able to dink around long enough to hit the 72 min run time?

Gotta love a movie (sure, let’s call this a movie) which can’t be bothered to change their horrible old model even a little bit, but still insist, this is a new character. And is incomprehensible. And doesn’t know when to end… I don’t know which nightmarish dimensions you have to go through to find them, Phelous, but I salute you for your bravery.
Also, 12:02 wow, where’s that from? Can anyone help me? Sorry if I’m asking a stupid question, but I haven’t seen every single thing related to Phelous. Although, if there is a movie (episode, sketch, anything) where he plays a killer called The Big D, I just have to see it!!!
Love the Tom Baker Fourth Doctor scarf there, Phelous.
As for the movie, the first one was pitiful, but at least it was short. Why the hell did they make another one? And one that’s three times longer.
And we all know why Burton makes hamburger jokes, because he’s the MASTER of beef patty SANDWICHES!
Kudis to you, Phelous, for sitting through the entire 75 minutes of that mess. That couldn’t have been easy for you.
As was said already, The Christmas Light was bad, very bad, but it was mercifully short. I’ve seen student films with better animation and writing.
Hey, guys! All this time I had a twin sister and she’s now standing right here next to me, even though I never mentioned her before now! As for my younger brother from the first special, forget about him. He’s some random French kid now.
And yes, beetles only live for about 26 days. Did this random piece of trivia really warrant a musical number?
On tonight’s installment of Unnecessary Padding Theater…
Geez, and I thought the first one had zero plot; this one’s “story” could be quantified in negative numbers.
So this Dr. D has no back story or established motivations, wants to cause misery and inconvenience just for funsies, poses no real threat whatsoever and is easily disposed of. Is Dr. D related to Grimlock?
This is just a hunch, you guys, but I think they’re trying to tell us that beetles only live for 28 days. Next there will be a rousing musical number about how beavers and penguins possess a second set of transparent eyelids enabling them to see while underwater.
So sometime between specials Jennifer’s little brother magically transformed into a twin sister who wasn’t important enough to be included in the “adventure” or even given an individual spoken line, but was vital to pad out the run time by pointlessly singing songs with Jen for 10 minutes. But waste not, want not, we’ll just use the brother’s design for random extras.
I hope you have the happiest of holidays, Phelous, ’cause these things had to have been a chore to slog through.
Is it just me or does Dr. D’s ship (the Dark) look like it would belong right at home in a F-Zero game?
Also, the “beetles” in this movie look almost absolutely nothing like beetles.
They look more like the ugly love-childs of the M&M’s, some mosquitoes, and some cockroaches.
Also, the power belts essentially make you a Dragon Ball character. Well, at least the power belts weren’t as useless as the Power Glove, am I right?
Wow, I’ve just watched this and its prequel.
And They’re both very terrible….
Especially this one….
I can’t believe this movie manages to be worse than its predecessor and Rapsittie Street Kids combined!
Overall, I would safely say that The Christmas Brigade manages to be both the #1 worst Christmas special/movie and the #2 worst movie I’ve ever seen in my entire life……
