Unknown Specials Christmas Countdown #14: Saving Santa

For our pleasing penultimate entry, here's Saving Santa (2013). Featuring Tim Conway as Santa, Ashley Tisdale and Noel Clarke as the elfin secret service, Tim Curry as the villain trying to steal Christmas, and a protagonist voiced by Martin Freeman, I’m surprised more people don't know about this. It features Martin Freeman singing, for St. Nick’s sake! Playing an aspiring inventor who’s a reindeer pooper scooper by day, the animators and writers have a meticulous attention to detail and a well-written, clearly thought out plot involving time travel. I can’t say more without ruining it, so watch it multiple times when you have the chance. Suffice to say the CGI animation and character and world design look wonderfully festive and carry the plot and players well.
