Top cast: Maggie Smith, Henry Lawfull

In a nutshell

In this origin story of Father Christmas, an ordinary boy, with a pet mouse, sets out on an extraordinary adventure to find his father, who is on a quest to discover the fabled village of Elfhelm.

Our review

Offers few surprises in this Santa origin story but sprinkled with wholesome holiday spirit. Personally I feel that the mouse was mis-cast but I will let you judge.  It was enjoyable if not memorable.
