Animal Tales of Christmas Magic

Watch these five stories to meet Santa floating on an island, an ambitious little chick, and a smart raccoon dog stray in a forest. All of these characters have one thing in common: they are getting ready for Christmas.

Heavy snow is falling nearly everywhere – from France to Japan to far North. This means Christmas is coming soon! Before our protagonists start celebrating and sit together at the Christmas table, they need to overcome a couple of challenges. Santa has to get out of an icy island to give presents to everyone. The residents of the henhouse are doing their best to deliver eggs on time. A girl whose mum is constantly busy is looking for a Christmas tree in a grubbed-up forest. A lost raccoon dog is trying to get to a great animal party. The creators of these versatile animated films were inspired by traditional animation techniques, including cutout animation. They rediscover the beauty of nature, reminding us why Christmas is such an anticipated time every year.
