Saving Santa (2013)

In the magical realm of the North Pole, Bernard D. Elf (Martin Freeman), an eccentric elf with a knack for invention, dreams of reviving people's cherished Christmas memories. Despite his fervor, his creations often fail, leaving him feeling like a fool amongst his peers. Yet, when the benevolent Santa (Tim Conway) is kidnapped by the malevolent Neville Baddington (Tim Curry) and his domineering mother Vera (Dame Joan Collins), the stakes rise. This ruthless duo is hell-bent on uncovering Santa's most guarded secret: his method of delivering presents across the globe in one night. What they don't know is that Bernard holds the key to this mystery: a time-traveling device embedded in Santa's sleigh known as the TimeGlobe. This extraordinary invention allows Santa to ensure that every child wakes up to a Christmas morning filled with joy and presents under the tree. Seeing his chance to prove his worth and save Christmas, Bernard embarks on a daring mission. He plans to harness the power of the TimeGlobe, travel back in time, and prevent the abduction from ever happening. But the task is daunting, and he soon realizes he's the North Pole's sole defence against this invasion. As the clock ticks and Christmas hangs in the balance, this lowly stable elf must summon his courage, outsmart his adversaries, and save Santa - not once, but twice. In a heart-racing race against time, Bernard takes it upon himself to preserve the magic of Christmas for children around the globe.
