Saving Santa (2013) 7/10

Starring : Martin Freeman, Tim Curry, Pam Ferris, Joan Collins
Director : Leon Joosen & Aaron Seelman
Running Time : 84 mins

Bernard D Elf (Freeman) dreams of becoming an inventor, but is mocked by his peers for his crazy notions. When Santa is kidnapped by Neville Baddington (Curry), the owner of a delivery company that covets Santa’s secret of how he delivers all his presents in one night, Bernard must rise to the challenge of defeating the bad guys by using Santa’s secret – a time travel device – and his own unique brand of ingenuity.

Christmas movies are generally either really good or really bad, but Saving Santa is actually kind of mediocre. The animation isn’t the best, and the voice actors – in spite of some big names – feel a little flat at times, with the concept itself not used as well as it could have been. Children will no doubt find this entertaining enough, but there isn’t enough going on to really grip an adult audience.
