Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Dave Aldridge

This animated Brit-voiced bauble won't give the Christmas heavyweights any sleepless nights. But, if Saving Santa lacks the clout and quality of, say, Disney's Frozen, it's still a cute festive entertainment for younger kids. Martin Freeman voices Bernard, an inventor elf whose latest gizmo inadvertently disrupts the cloaking device that conceals Santa's North Pole HQ from the outside world. In drops nasty Nevill (Tim Curry), a parcel-delivery rival who's seeking the secret of Santa's super-speedy sleigh. It's down to Bernard to make amends, by using Santa's time globe, several times, to travel back in time and set things right. His multiple time-trips may confuse younger kids, so parents should be prepared for probing questions about temporal paradoxes.
