    Not exactly bad. Just give it a chance!
    The last time I watched the Raccoons was 10 years ago (I was a kid then). And I liked them. And I recently found couple of episodes and I worried if it's going to be stupid now to watch it when I'm at the top of my rebellion and sarcasm age. Anyway, I waited to be alone in the house, locked the door, shut the window, gulped, prayed and played this thing. And it wasn't exactly that bad. Shore there are plenty of mushy and sappy dialogues, but it's not so...what's the word...disgusting! Shore, the plot was rather poor, but who cares about the plot, when you got a pink anteater with the chainsaw for the main villain. I usually hate Christmass specials but I don't exactly hate this one. Because usually Christmass specials are to me very insipid and ridiculous. This isn't that insipid as some CSes I remember. But I think kids would like this, and that's probably the only thing important. If you don't like this, OK, I don't blame you. But I like it, even though it's not exactly that I would watch it every day. The characters are acceptable and funny (I repeat, this is mostly for kids!). Overall, good. Far from perfect, but I would always gladly choose this instead of Pokemon or YuGiOh.
