My Christmas Movie

The movie starts with a breaking news alert. It's Santa.

Santa - Last week the elfs were doing mantanence checks and upgrades on the sleigh. Unfortunately one of those upgrades caused an explosion, destroying the sleigh in the process. As a result I have no choice, but to cancel Christmas this year.

We then cut to news channels all over the world talking about the Christmas cancellation. We then cut to normal people giving their views.

We then cut to the warehouse. A few guys are discussing the matter.

1 - Did you hear the news? Christmas is cancelled.

2 - I bet the fat man did it himself. He's getting too old for a job like that.

Jim - Regardless of who's at fault, someone needs to do something. The good kids deserve Christmas.

1 - Yeah you're right, but what can be done. We don't have the magic to travel the world in one night. It's impossible.

We then cut to a grumpy van driver.

Van driver - quit your yapping and load up the van. I've not got all day.

Jim - Sorry mate. Will do.

The boys start pilling sacks full of parcels into the van. Jim then jumps in the front with the driver as they set off on their journey.

Driver - Look at that. Everyone's taking down the Christmas decorations. Sad.

Jim - Yup. It's like all the magic has disappeared.

The driver pulls out a map.

Driver - This area is 104. Grab the sack and get to work kid.

Jim grabs the sack, pulls out his first parcel and finds the house. We then see quick clips of sack, parcel, door, happy customer, until the sack is empty.

Jim returns to the van, crosses off 104 on the map and they drive to their next stop.

Driver - You know what? You look a little like Santa jumping about in your red uniform and that huge sack.

Jim - Haha! Wait. Say that again?

Driver - You look like Santa?

Jim - yes! Yes! I've got it. I know how to save Christmas.

We cut to night time. Jim crosses off the last number on the map. They pull up outside a Santas grotto.

Jim - Thanks for dropping me off here. See you tomorrow.

Driver - Good luck.

Jim knocks on the door.

Jim - Hi. Santa? Can we talk.

No reply. So he tries again louder.

Still nothing.

One last go.

Passerby - He's not there. Have you not heard, Christmas is cancelled. He's not doing it this year.

Jim - Do you know where I could find him?

Passerby - sure. He's not getting much work from the grotto so he's set up an ice cream stall just down the road. He's hard to miss.

Jim thanks the passerby and sprints down the road to the Ice cream stall.

Jim - Santa! Santa! We need to talk.

Santa - Yes son. What is it? Would you like some Ice cream?

Jim - No no, far too cold for that.

Santa - sigh. That's what everyone's saying. I thought people loved ice cream.

Jim - Well yeah we do. When it's warm.

Santa - You like melted Ice cream?

Jim - No not the Ice cream, the weather. Anyway I've got more important matters to discuss. I know how to save Christmas.

Santa - What! How? The sleigh is destroyed. And, well I'm not the real Santa, you know that right?

Jim - yeah I know. But you are able to contact the real Santa, right?

Santa - I was,but he's hit a real depression this year he's not talking to anyone.

Jim starts crying.

Santa - I could talk to one of the elfs though. They might have more luck talking to the big man.

Jim - Yes. That would be great. Here's the plan...

We cut to an elf on the phone.

Elf - yes... AHH... Mmhhmmm... Say that again. Yes! Yes! Wwooo hhooo....!

The elf then runs across an empty factory.

Elf - Christmas is saved! Christmas is saved!

He runs out onto the north pole streets.

Elf - Christmas is saved! Christmas is saved.

The other elfs come out of their houses to see what all the commotion is about.

The elf then runs to Santa's house and bangs on the door.

Elf - Santa! Santa! Santa!

Mrs Claus answers the door.

Mrs Claus - Hi Barry. Santa's not feeling to great. He'll get back to you when he's feeling better.

Elf - no! This can't wait.

The elf runs through Mrs Claus legs. And into santas room.

Santa's depression is real. His beard is a mess. He has bags under his eyes. His rooms a mess.

Elf - Santa?

Santa - Huh? Woman I told you no guests!

Elf - Is that really you?

Santa - yes it's me. Who else would it be? What do you want?

Elf - I know how to save Christmas.

Santa perks up a little.

Santa - Huh? What do you mean the sleigh is destroyed.

Elf - Yes I know, but that doesn't matter.

Santa - What do you mean? How do you expect me to travel the world in one night in a broken sleigh?

Elf - that's the thing. You don't need to. There's this human, Jim. He's got a solution.

Santa - okay. Let's hear it.

Elf - Well it's quite simple really...

We cut to Santa's from door. Barry the Elf leaves first with a smile on his face.

Elf - Christmas is saved!

Followed my a cleaned up jolly Santa.

Santa - Ho ho ho. Christmas is back on. Spread the word.

The elfs rush to house after house until all the elfs are celebrating in the street.

Santa - we need to make up for lost time and finish making toys. To the factory.

The elfs all rush to the factory singing.

Santa gets on the phone.

Santa - Hi Jim. It's Santa. I hear you know how to save Christmas.

Jim - Santa! Yes, yes I just need to get our boss on board and we're sorted.

Santa - Don't worry about that. I'll speak to him.

Cut to breaking news. It's Santa again.

Santa - Good news. Christmas is saved. My good friend Jim found a solution. We're teaming up with Amazon. They'll come to the north pole from all over the world to pickup presents. They'll then distribute those presents throughout each country and the drivers and delivery boys, who I've crowned substitute Santa's will deliver the presents in time for Christmas. Ho ho ho and awe that.

Still need to write this, but heres a rough draft.

Ships pull up at the north pole. Elf's help to fill them up with presents. they get delevered to factories. We cut to Christmas eve. Drivers and helpers are all dressed as santas. presents get delevered across the world at night. Everyone has a happy Christmas. The end
