Movie #3352 "Eloise at Christmastime" (DVD) I had never seen this film so when offered the opportunity, I took it , and I'm so glad I did. What a fun watch for me. I loved Julie Andrews playing a part so different from Mary Poppins (I hardly recognized her at first), and the little girl playing Eloise takes some getting used to but after a while, she was a pleasure to watch. And then there was Gavin Creel --- beloved Gavin Creel, who went on to do wondrous things on Broadway before his early death this past year --- what a loss! The singing he does with Eloise (while playing a mean piano) it a delight on its own and worth the watch. I loved the story, too. I'd give it a 4.8 , and I'm prompted from watching this one, to see the other Eloise films some day. Much fun!
