The chaos of the holidays with people racing around the house is something many can relate to — for me, it’s an aspect I look forward to. The other half of the magic is due to how realistic it is. But at the end of the day, this is a movie about a mother trying to get back to her eight year old son. Movies from the ‘90s have this yellow tinge to its scenes. It has to be the first one too – anything after a sequel is enough and It is equal parts heartwarming and funny, especially with iconic Canadian actors like Catherine O’Hara and John Candy (who plays a polka star).

The family holiday story follows a young boy, Kevin McCallister, who is accidentally left behind in Chicago by his family on their Christmas vacation to Paris.

While these two are the most notable sequels to Home Alone, Disney+ is also home to the lesser-known soft revival TV movie Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House (2002), Home Alone: The Holiday Heist (2012), and the latest, [Home Sweet Home Alone](https://collider.com/home-sweet-home-alone-review-disney-plus/) (2021).

Well, they do make sure Kevin reaches the airport with them but eventually, as is inevitable, Kevin boards the wrong flight and ends up all alone in New York City. It doesn't have Kevin or any of the original characters, neither is it set around Christmas, but the story is set in Chicago. Released in 1992, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York picks up one year after the events of the first movie, with the McCallister family off to another Christmas vacation. But if there’s one common element across all the films that followed, it is the child protagonist who finds themselves alone during Christmas and has to save their home from criminals. The first DVD of Home Alone was released in October 1999, followed by the first Blu-ray release in December 2008. However, except for the second sequel, none of the other movies in the franchise have any real connection to the first two stories and mostly do not feature Kevin or the other characters ( Every fan of Home Alone has their own reason behind their love for the movie, but what ties them all together is the childish antics and the age-agnostic silliness, and a certain maturity within the innocence of its protagonist. A complete box set, titled Home Alone: 25th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Christmas Edition, with the first film and the three sequels, was released in October 2015. Home Alone became the second-highest-grossing film of the year after Ghost and the highest-grossing live-action comedy for years to follow, until The Hangover Part II took its place.

An analysis of recent piracy statistics shows that Home Alone is the most popular Christmas classic among pirates, followed by The Grinch.

“Spirited” is by far the most downloaded release and the only one that has more downloads than Home Alone. The chart below compares Home Alone downloads in our sample during a week in August and one in December, showing the non-Christmas-themed classic “Finding Nemo” as a control. The Top 5 is completed by the 2003 comedy, “Elf”. We can clearly see, however, that the interest in these Christmas classics typically surges in December. The original “Home Alone” (1990) film undisputedly comes out on top. The third Home Alone installment didn’t make the cut, however.
