Short description

Each Christmas, Santa and his vast army of highly trained elves produce gifts and distribute them around the world in one night. However, when one of 600 million children to receive a gift from Santa on Christmas Eve is missed, it is deemed ‘acceptable’ to all but one—Arthur. Arthur Claus is Santa’s misfit son who executes an unauthorised rookie mission to get the last present half way around the globe before dawn on Christmas morning.

What's left behind the scenes

In the cartoon, there is a moment when Santa Claus mentions that he is 136 years old. But this is physically impossible, as Malcolm has been working as Santa Claus for the last 70 years, and before him, Santa Claus himself served for 70 years, so he must be at least 140 years old.
