Elf Pets: Santa's Reindeer Rescue (2020) - full transcript

- Woo-hoo-hoo!
- Yippee!

There's nothing like a
sleigh ride!

How are we doing,
Coach Gym Dandy?

Test flight 247,389
is looking groovy.

Isn't it fun?

Yes, indeedy!

This can't be right!

- My! Oh, my!
- Oh, my goodness!

- What's going on?
- What's going on here?

Oh, my goodness!

This won't do at all.



We didn't even have presents
on the sleigh!

Hmm.
You're absolutely right.

This is really very serious.

We must conduct
a full investigation!

I'll go back
to the Legend and Lore Lab

to make sure
Gym Dandy's magic-ometer

is syncing with Santa's
Christmas Magic Meter,

check the levels
of Christmas Cheer,

and try to improve
the flight formula!

Is that all?

I'll work with Coach Gym Dandy

to check on the reindeer.

Absolutely, Haley!

Gotta keep at it
till our good is our better



and our better is our best!

And I'll have maintenance
check the sleigh!

All right.
Sounds like a game plan.

Oh!

Looks like I'm late
for nightly reports.

I'm sure you'll find a way.

- We're on it.
- Carry on, Santa.

- We've got it from here.
- Let's get to it, everybody!

Do you think we might actually
need more reindeer?

It sounds like we are going to
need Tinsel and Timber's help.

They have a front-row seat to
get information on the reindeer.

Righty, right!

They should be waiting
to talk to Santa right now.

I'll see if I can speak
with them directly.

Hup two, Elves.
Let's get to it!

- We're on it! Aren't we, team?
- Good luck!

The Spirit of Christmas.

- Failure is not an option!
- Everyone follow me!

I know what I'm doing!

Santa would like to thank

Scout Elf Tinsel
and Scout Elf Timber

for their nightly report.

He will now see
Scout Elf Joy Sugar Cookie.

We're headed there now, Newsey!

Bye! Good luck!

I can't believe we got
such a cool mission!

I guess it's--

All in a day's work
for Santa Claus?

Absolutely!

- Want to race?
- You bet!

So, who's excited
about Christmas this year?

I am! I am! I love--

Gingerbread houses!

No! I was going to say
Elf on the Shelf.

Isn't that a given?

What are these?

These are pretty.

Those look like
your dad's grandmother's,

your Great Grandma Leena's.

Hey, guys!
Look at this!

It's a book!

Sweet!

- Yeah!
- Wow!

I think it's an old journal.

That must be
like a million years old.

How cute!

It says,
"Bob's Hardware Store."

And there's a baby!

Maybe one of your great uncles?

And what is this?

Is that a little girl
standing in the forest?

But there's something
small right there.

It looks like
a reindeer.

And over there.
There's another one.

And there's another one!

Oh, my goodness!
They're everywhere!

Well, your great grandma
did grow up on a reindeer farm.

But these are tiny!

- Hey, guys!
- Dad!

- I need a little...
- Coming! Coming!

- Help... please?
- Careful! I got it!

No, wait.
I don't got it. Hold it!

♪ We got a Christmas tree! ♪

♪ We got a Christmas tree! ♪

♪ It was free!
We got a Christmas tree! ♪

Phew! That was tough!
Thanks, guys!

Dad, look what we found!

Yeah! Look! Look!

I think it belonged
to your grandma.

There's a bunch
of little reindeer.

Well, let's take a look.
Huh.

What do we have here?

Yeah, this does look
like my mummi's drawings.

She was a fabulous artist
in Finland,

before she moved to the States.

In fact, when she was
about your age--

- Dad!
- Dad!

Oh, all right, all right.

I remember this.

Yeah, she used to tell my mom
about these tiny deer

using a song.

I used to know this by heart.
Let me see.

♪ There was a little girl
From Lapland ♪

♪ Who went to do her chores ♪

♪ And in the forest
There were reindeer ♪

♪ She hadn't seen before ♪

♪ She called them pikku deer ♪

♪ In Finland that means small ♪

♪ And when she sang
They came and played ♪

♪ She loved them, one and all ♪

♪ She fed them Salmiakki
A salty licorice ♪

♪ They liked it
So they licked and licked ♪

♪ And licked and licked
And licked ♪

♪ On bitter, chilly nights ♪

♪ She cracked the window
Just a bit ♪

♪ And thousands would
Curl up with her ♪

♪ Till morning
When they'd split ♪

♪ And then there came the war
In November '39 ♪

♪ She had to leave the reindeer
And the war behind ♪

♪ She did all that she could ♪

♪ But their numbers
Dwindled quick ♪

♪ She wrote to Joulupukki ♪

♪ You know him as St. Nick ♪

♪ "Will you take my reindeer?"
She pleaded as she wrote ♪

♪ "I know that you
Can rescue them ♪

♪ That's why
I wrote this note" ♪

♪ According to the legend
My Grandma Mummi told ♪

♪ Santa Claus did save them ♪

♪ And together
They'll grow old ♪

Well, what happened to the tiny
reindeer at the North Pole?

I don't know.

I'm sure the reindeer

are very happy
at the North Pole.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I bet they are
pets for all the elves,

like Tinsel and Timber
over there.

You kids need to get ready
for bed.

And, Benjamin,
that means brushing your teeth.

How are the pikku deer?

Do you have one?
What's its name?

Do they miss
Great Grandma Leena?

What do they eat?
Is it magical?

How big are they?

Yeah, how big?

Do they have other jobs
at the North Pole?

Oh, good question!
What kind of jobs?

Benjamin, skedaddle!
Go on! Scoot!

Hurry! We gotta go!

Tell them we said hi!

Oh, and we love you so much!

- Woo-hoo!
- Woo-hoo!

- Right on time!
- Stuck the landing!

I wonder what everyone else
is up to.

- Time to check in!
- Hey, Timber! Hey, Tinsel!

Hey! Welcome back!

Hup! Hup! Come on!
Come on, Elves!

General, are you sure
all of the Scout Elves

have reported in
on schedule thus far?

Yes, yes. Yes, I am.

Not... a... one
is unaccounted for, Newsey.

Good to know, since so many
humans think the elves

don't make it back
to the North Pole every night

when their elf lands in
the same spot as the day before.

That's so silly!

- Well, that's just farcical.
- Absurd!

- No, hilarious!
- Ridiculous!

No, waggish!

Preposterous!

Woo-hoooo!

Woo-hoo!

I mean, it's no different
than having a favorite chair!

Or reading the same
bedtime story every night.

Humans. What can you do?

We love 'em though, right?

We wouldn't even have a job
without humans!

- Of course we move around.
- Humans are the best!

Hi, guys!

Hi, Timber! Hi, Tinsel!

Any luck with your assignment
out there?

Yes, they found the journal!

We got our family talking
about the old reindeer farm!

Any talk of Santa's
original eight magical reindeer?

No, not a word.

Oh, Timber, the kids did ask
if the pikku deer

had any other jobs
at the North Pole, remember?

Oh, yeah!
Could they do something to help?

That's a novel idea!

So, do you think
it's worth exploring?

I think we probably should.

We must press forward
before conditions get any worse.

That would be worse
than burnt Christmas cookies!

Terrible!

Whoa! Whoa!

Steady! Steady! Look out!

Good heavens!
Look out!

- No!
- Incoming!

Ahh!

- Is everyone okay?
- That was a close one!

- I hope everybody's okay!
- I almost lost my hat!

I'm reporting for duty, sir!

Test flights still not yielding
optimal results, Santa?

I'm afraid not.

It's quite regrettable.

We've had no luck finding a
better Christmas magic formula.

Our attempts
have been calamitous.

I'm still tracking

a below average
acceleration rate

on the magic-ometer.

- I had no idea it was this bad.
- Me, neither.

Let's break for some cinnamon
cider and marshmallow treats.

Santa, what is really going on?

I don't think there is any
problem with belief out there.

Yeah, we've seen plenty!

It really comes down
to one thing.

You see, the particular
Christmas Spirit ingredient

I need for this type
of Christmas magic

is running very low.

And what is that?

Love.

Love for others.

Love for one another.

The world just needs
a little old-fashioned L-O-V-E.

Well, a few more reindeer
couldn't hurt either,

given the data I've seen.

Love? Love, you say?

Yes, Elf Joe.

It's the one element

that we can't seem
to collect enough of.

That's it! That's it!
By golly, that's it!

- What's it?
- What's with all the jolly?

- What's up with him?
- Any idea why he's so animated?

Tinsel, you and Timber
work with Newsey

to see what you can do
to get human kids involved,

especially those Peura kids!

- On it!
- Okay!

Haley, you and Gym Dandy
talk to the reindeer

to see if they'd be willing
to volunteer.

General, you come with me!
We've got some work to do.

Ho ho ho! Looks like Elf Joe
is on to something!

Mmm. Mm-hmm.

Smile, Santa!

I've got an idea.

"North Pole in Crisis"!

Santa needs more reindeer!

- No way!
- No way!

Too bad we don't have
the reindeer farm anymore.

Yeah, kids, rumor has it
that Great Grandma Leena's farm

is where Santa got
the first magical reindeer.

Are you for real?

No way to know for sure,
but it's a fun idea.

Don't you think?

I have an idea!

Really?

Maybe Tinsel and Timber

could remind Santa
about Great Grandma's reindeer.

And maybe...
maybe we can keep one here!

I'll take one, Mom!

Me, too! Me, too!

Well, I don't see why not.

Why don't you go tell them?

Well, this should be fun.

Yeah, my mummi did have
quite a vivid imagination!

Elf Pets, it looks like Santa
needs your help!

The training could be rigorous.

There are going to be tests.

And trials to overcome.

If you want this job
and Elf Joe has any luck,

you've got to be ready!

- Woo-hoo!
- All right!

Yeah!

Looks like they're all in!

- Woo-hoo!
- Yeah!

Woo-hoo!

We did it!
Hugs, cuddles, and snuggles!

- That is clearly the answer!
- I concur!

Well, it's not there yet,
but it's close enough.

I think we've got
something usable.

It's up to Santa now.

Santa, we'd like to report
we have a solution.

Well, partly.

It sort of generally works.

The base formula is there.

When it's activated by love,

we think a little reindeer
could grow full size!

Well, all right.

This particular recipe
has less love than I would like,

so it clearly must be activated

by a concentrated form
of some type.

Ho ho ho!
That's quite the theory.

But how do we get more love
to activate the magic?

Hmm.

Santa! Santa!

Yes? Tinsel, what is it?

The Peura kids! They...
they volunteered!

Slow down.
Now, what happened?

They want to help.

They asked us for a pikku deer.

Could that work, Santa?

- Well, that's a fine idea!
- It's foolproof!

Everyone knows children
have the purest of faith.

And the strongest love!

Hmm.
As for additional reindeer...

Ho ho ho ho!

My friendly Elf Pets,
this task would be big,

as big as it gets!

Don't count them out!

They're tiny, like us,

but we have no doubt

that kids will adopt them.

And give them a name.

They'll treat them like us.

One in the same!

Perhaps with more reindeer
and faith, that is true.

We can build Christmas magic

that will help
the sleigh through.

Oh, oh!
He's going to do it!

Do what?

Present Christmas magic

in a teeny, tiny, little
heart charm.

Oh, yeah, that's right!

- Wow!
- I can't believe this!

- This is amazing!
- The hope of each child

who believes in their heart
in the magic of Christmas

will make my sleigh start!

Wear this charm proudly
for people to see.

It should serve to remind them
your mission's for me.

♪ Let them hold you and love you
As much as they can ♪

♪ This heart holds your magic
Do you understand? ♪

♪ This magic's not fragile
Not like an elf ♪

♪ Your job's not the same

Oh, Santa! Thank you!
Thank you so much!

And I would like to thank
all of you,

and Timber and Tinsel,

for sharing Benjamin and Julia's
idea with me.

This won't work
without kids who believe!

That's enough dawdling.
Shoo! Shoo! Off you all go!

Get those reindeer shipped
to homes around the world

for adoption.

Look! I found her.

Tinsel looks so cute.

And look at Timber.

He's brave to hide
in Dad's work boots.

Pee-ew!

- That's gross!
- It's so smelly!

It smells like someone
tooted in there.

Hey, kids!
You're up early.

Hey, Dad!
We found Tinsel and Timber!

Ah.
Well, aren't they clever?

What do you have there?

Oh, just a little something
I found outside the door.

It's addressed
to you three kiddos.

Who's it from?

It says, "Tinsel and Timber."

- No way! That's awesome!
- Cool! Really?

Dad, what is it?

Let's open it and find out.

It's a reindeer!

Let me see!

There's one for each of us!

They're so tiny.

Just like your Grandma Leena's!

Yeah! Go figure.

You know, it really is unreal.

They look just like
her drawings.

Mom! Macy! Come look!

- What is it?
- Look what the elves did.

Really? Wow! That's awfully
thoughtful of them.

There's one for you, too, Macy.

For me? That's so cool!

Looks like Tinsel and Timber
outdid themselves.

So the book says
you have to give them a name.

I'm naming mine S'norms!

Don't you mean S'mores?

I think S'norms is
a perfectly good name.

I'm going with... Peanut Butter,

'cause it's
my favorite sandwich.

I'm going with... Holly Bejolly!

What? I like it.

"If you love it enough,

the heart charm
that holds Santa's magic

will make
these tiny, little reindeer

grow full-size
on Christmas Eve!"

"And then your reindeer
will help pull Santa's sleigh!"

Coolest... reindeer... ever!

Thanks for adding so much joy
to our holidays, Mummi.

Santa would like to thank

Scout Elf Tinsel
and Scout Elf Timber

this season.

Scout Elves Captain,

Blubber Fizz, and Candy Cane

Once a year,

Over the rooftops
and high above mountains,

crossing the rivers,
we'll dance over fountains.

My sleigh will bring joy
on Christmas Eve,

thanks to each reindeer
and kids who believe!

Ho ho ho ho ho!

And Merry Christmas!
