Nobody over the age of 8 enjoys these unless they are also over 350 lbs. Parents have these films inflicted on them. The only people who actually LIKE them are fat women who have non-ironic kitten motivational posters in their cubicle at the branch office and the occasional furry.
Not even the CAPAlert guy likes these - he says they're satanic because presenting dogs as capable of speech is blasphemous, and Santa, well, you know it's evil if it's about distracting children from the true meaning of CHRIST-mas.
Gives whole new meaning to the term "Lab Puppy." I imagine on set one of them shits its guts out from being fed too much sugar combined with the radiation from the light rig and a guy in a white coat comes out with a shovel, followed by an assistant holding a cage with a replacement. He says something like like "This one's D-terminal, remove and sterilize."
