When a friendly cabbie tells two young sisters the story of a boy named Leo who moved to Manhattan with his family, a magical adventure begins in this new-to-DVD animated adventure. While adjusting to the big city and enjoying the days leading up to Christmas, Leo accidentally loses his dog Ramona in Central Park. Leo is devastated by his loss until a magical creature named Little Spirit appears and takes him on a quest to find Ramona. Leo and Little Spirit venture out on the journey of a lifetime, taking in the festive surroundings of the city and meeting people from all walks of life. By the time Leo is reunited with Ramona, he has an eclectic group of friends that make the strange city seem like home.
Little Spirit: Christmas in New York Reviews:
a new look at the holidays 
2009-12-04 - Little Spirit is a fresh look at a family, moved to a city (New York) from a suburban life. The new experience is exciting, but strange,for the boy named Polito, where not all people appear similiar and kind. When the family's dear pet dog, Ramona, becomes lost, Polito is devistated. A magical Spirit , takes Polito on a journey to revisit the people and events of the day in their search for her. On this journey he discovers that people are not really different, and that they, too, share family, friends and community. My grandchildren loved this story and want to see is again and again.
A new Christmas Classic
2009-11-06 - Little Spirit is a great new addition to the animated Christmas classics. The tale of the boy who loses his dog in Central Park and then has to rely on the kindness of strangers to get her back has a wonderful world peace message. Plus it's very funny and exciting. The animation is gorgeous and the music is wonderful. I highly recommend this film for family viewing.
Entertaining and Enjoyable! 
2009-08-20 - Although several reviews I read online for this children's movie were negative, my children adored it! For my 4 year old, she was enthralled by the story. With Danny DeVito recounting the story of a boy who lost his beloved dog, Ramona, when he moved to NYC, my daughter was riveted by the children in the film, the unique animation, and the "Little Spirit." A genuine story of love, moving to a new place, and difficult family changes, we watched this enchanting Christmas tale several times. I would recommend this film to people with small children everytime!
