Bernard D. Elf wants to be an inventor. He’s got his heart
set on creating the next big thing for Santa. However, he’s more accident prone
than anything else, and Christmas this year is going to have enough issues.
There’s a little discrepancy as to whether or not Tom Baker
(Doctor Who, Little Britain USA, The
Beeps) was really in this movie. IMDB lists him as an actor in it, but with
the same part as Tim Conway and I’m not exactly sure how that works. Noel Clarke
(Star Trek Into Darkness, Storage 24,
Centurion) is an actor from Doctor
Who, though, which amuses me because of all the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey
going on in this film.
Despite the time-jumping, I found Saving Santa to be a little generic. Even with that belief, it was
kind of adorable and the music was catchy.
I probably wouldn't watch Saving Santa again. At least, not alone; I might watch it with a
child. There was much less appeal for someone of my age than some of the other
animated kid’s films floating around Netflix.
Cute for Christmas, cute for kids, not terrible in general
but far from amazing.
