The film-makers are really pushing it, by stretching out the book's 30-odd pages into 80 minutes of screen time, creating a charming Christmas adventure.
Sticking with the picture-book feel, the animation is sweetly naive yet detailed, depicting Santa's operation filled with pint-sized elves and sarky reindeers.
The Queen of Hearts has banned tinsel and mince pies, leading to playful moments as Santa uncovers her childhood trauma surrounding Christmas.
Despite its charming visuals, the decision to adhere to the book's rhyming scheme becomes annoying, especially for younger audiences.
