LOG LINE
Snowball, an anxious elf must
replace an overweight Santa Claus and mistakenly transforms a
disgruntled holiday department store owner who hates Christmas into
his emergency replacement. The only problem is he doesn't see himself
as Santa but everyone else does.
SYNOPSIS
JIM CRANKLEPOT (45) owner of the
Happy Holiday Department Store is anything but jolly. He hates Christmas;
he is your typical scrooge. He owns the only holiday store that doesn't
decorate, nor does he ever have a holiday sale. His son TOM (12) wants
only one thing for Christmas. He wants his mother and father to get back
together.
Cranklepot not only has family
issues, but he is about to lose his store to Dumpster Development unless
he can come up with money for the bank on Christmas eve.
Meanwhile in the North Pole a
LOUD SNEEZE,(pepper corn chips) blows the main elf SNOWBALL (72) off his
tiny feet. It's a disaster; SANTA CLAUS (336), a weight critical worker is
to overweight to work and Christmas is only weeks away. Snowball hitches a
ride with the joke telling RUDOLPH in search of the magic Christmas Book.
Snowball learns he must find a
suitable Santa Claus replacement to save Christmas. All he has to do is
cast a spell. Excited Snowball rushes off before he hears the warning: if
he picks the wrong Santa replacement - anyone who hates Christmas - only
the citizens will see the replacement as Santa but the chosen one will see
himself as normal.
Snowball lands in town and
immediately hears Cranklepot yelling about Christmas and Santa. Thinking
Cranklepot is the right man for the job, Snowball casts the spell.
Everyone sees Cranklepot's transformation into Santa except Cranklepot!
Looking like Santa, Cranklepot
goes home. His estranged wife Jane calls the police. The police arrest
Cranklepot. The real Santa Claus is beside himself - SNOWBALL! Realizing
he can bail out Cranklepot for 1000 bucks, Snowball literally gives the
police 1000 bucks aka reindeers!
Cranklepot "escapes"
from jail and Snowball takes him to the North Pole to meet the real Santa
but he doesn't believe in Christmas or Santa Claus. The real Santa orders
him to leave. Leaving Snowball angrily tells Santa to lose weight because
if he fails to convert Cranklepot, there will be no Christmas!
Cranklepot meets a homeless man
MICHAEL a worker he fired who still see's him as who he is. Leaving
Snowball jumps in to find out why he hates Christmas so much. Cranklepot
felt neglected by his own father who never took the time to have his
picture with Santa Claus. He lost his Christmas spirit and cancelled
Christmas.
Meanwhile in the North Pole Santa
pulls a sleigh over a snow covered mound. Sitting in the sleigh are a
couple of ELVES and a reindeer.
Snowball learns that he can't
make Cranklepot believe as it must come from the heart. Cranklepot finally
learns that the only way he can make things right is to believe. He
finally sees his reflection as Santa! Cranklepot knows how to save the
store. He'll have a Christmas sale. Sneaking back to the store before
opening time he barricades himself inside the office and tries to
orchestrate the sale from behind closed doors. Jane and Tom want to get to
the bottom and climb up the outside fire escape to learn the truth. In a
heartfelt moment the truth is revealed. Teaming up with Jane, Tom, Michael
and his Staff they plan the biggest one day sale in the stores history.
With the imminent opening of the
sale Cranklepot suddenly becomes himself which is another setback,
CHILDREN want Santa! Tom, knowing an old box he discovered in an old
unused storeroom contains a Santa Claus suit. Cranklepot, in his office,
reveals a turned around picture of himself as a little boy sitting on
Santa's lap, Santa was his father! His father loved him after all.
The real Santa Claus appears to
help with the sale, he's lost weight, and he is so pleased he invites
Snowball to help deliver the toys....all part of Snowball's big adventure.
