A new animated Christmas movie “That’s Christmas,” which is geared towards families with kids, jokes about abortion as it mocks the nativity scene depicting the birth of Jesus Christ.
In the Netflix movie — from the Hollywood director of 2003’s “Love Actually,” Richard Curtis — a group of school kids decide to put on a Christmas play complete with three wise women instead of three wise men, and instead of animals, the shepherds herd vegetables, CBN reported.
The production opens with one of the kids explaining that the story won’t be “boring,” like Christmas stories they’ve seen in the past.
“He [Jesus] wouldn’t have wanted us to do the same boring Christmas story year and year, right parents?” the child asked. “He’d want a strictly vegetarian, multi-cultural fun fest with lots of pop songs and stuff about climate change.”
However, the scene that is getting the most attention involves the child playing the role of Mary, Jesus’ mother, who carries a watermelon with a face on it that is supposed to be baby Jesus.
The character Mary sings a solo rendition of Madonna’s 1986 song, “Papa Don’t Preach.” In the song, the pop star is singing about the choice of a teen girl to not abort her child after becoming pregnant.
At the end of the song, the child holds up the watermelon, which is then accidentally knocked to the floor by another child, and the insides of the watermelon squirt out all over the audience.
After the performance, the parents are asked to share their thoughts, and one says, “I don’t think Jesus and jokes go together, dear.”
The movie is described as “an unforgettable Christmas” for the people of Wellington-on-Sea, a fictional seaside British town, where “the worst snowstorm in history alters everyone’s plans — including Santa’s,” the outlet noted.
The reviews on Rotten Tomatoes seemed to be mixed, with many who watched it saying it wasn’t for kids.
“This movie uses the same concept as Cocomelon,” one person wrote. You’ll never see a shot longer than 6 seconds. Don’t watch with kids.”
Another person wrote, “Really poor. It was just a box ticking exercise, we got Santa in there, naughty kid who really is nice, bumbling idiot dads, trunchbull who is nice really, kids left to fend for themselves, etc I think there wasn’t enough made of the main characters of Danny & Sam it seemed a little strained for flow. Certainly my kids weren’t overly impressed. I don’t think it will be one we watch again next year.”
