When Santa’s helper La Befana falls ill and must take off a Christmas Eve, she recruits Scarafoni to help deliver all the toys. No one but the toys knows is that Scarafoni plans to auction off the toys to the highest bidder, which means the toys won’t make it to the children who have been good all year and deserve them. The toys decide to deliver themselves, and the story follows them as they struggle to avoid the heartless Scarafoni and to find their true homes.

Viewing Notes
I like this animation style. It’s like Tintin (could be a related design team) however it has an American voice cast despite looking and feeling very European in both design and location. Decent story but I’m more fond of the animated style here.
Note: I checked the title and this is Italian in origin with the original cast. I guess this was dubbed in English although none of the English actors were added to TMDb. Makes a lot more sense now.
