Since I can remember, the legend of Santa Claus has been haunting people's subconscious, and every year on Christmas Eve, the gift from Santa Claus is the biggest expectation of every child, just like the expectation of the Spring Festival when I was a child, Christmas is also an indispensable holiday in the innocent world of every child.
For every child, Santa Claus is a mysterious presence, and every child wants to know: How does Santa Claus give all his gifts in one night? This age-old puzzle was found in arthur Christmas, released in 2011, and it also tells the story of the meaning of "Christmas".
On Christmas Eve, a group of militarized elves follow Santa Claus in a S1 aircraft at the speed of light to deliver gifts to every child. However, santa claus at this time no longer rides a handmade sleigh made of Arctic wood, nor does he personally deliver gifts to every child's home, he only does the last gift in each country, as a show. Christmas is just a working day for Santa Claus.
Santa's eldest son Steve is sitting in the Arctic central control room, through the most advanced equipment to direct the gift distribution work, to assist Santa Claus to complete this year's Christmas gift distribution, when assisted in the completion of the 70th delivery of gifts, Steve originally thought that he would succeed the new Santa Claus, but did not think that the father in the elves surrounded, there is no intention of retirement. Christmas is just a holiday for Steve to earn honors.
Santa Claus's young son Arthur, like every child who believes in the existence of Santa Claus, firmly believes in Christmas, in his room, stored from children from all over the world to write letters to Santa Claus, each one, he carefully read, one by one, because of the existence of his brother, he never thought he would become Santa Claus, after all, in the eyes of the elf, he is just a clumsy troublesome elf.
Everything would have gone as smoothly as originally envisaged, but unfortunately, one gift was missed, and this gift was exactly the owner of Arthur's last Christmas letter, Gwen. In Steve's view, the missing gift is only a small probability of completing hundreds of millions of tasks; Arthur believes that no gift can be missed to make a child sad, even if it is only one in 2 billion worldwide.
With this belief in mind, Arthur and his grandfather (the previous generation of Santa Claus), who had no old age at all, pulled out the little elk that had long been unnamed, drove the sleigh car sealed in the warehouse, plus an old elk and a sneaky packing elf, and embarked on a journey to make up gifts.
At first, Arthur hid in the carriage because of fear, refusing to look out, but as Grandpa began to reminisce about the past, Arthur gradually began to follow Grandpa to appreciate the world he had never seen.
When Grandpa took the paper map and began to travel to the destination as usual, he found that the time was too long, and the world was no longer the world he had seen.
As they go the wrong way and the elk get lost, their journey gets worse and worse, and problems between them gradually surface.
Grandpa came out with Arthur, not initially vowing not to let the child have no gifts, but selfishly wanting to prove that he was the best Santa Claus; Arthur did not want to make any child sad, and the root of it was also for his own definition of Christmas.
The sleigh car overturns, the quarreling Arthur and Grandpa land on the beach, Arthur begins to sink into a state of self-doubt, even allowing the elf to burn the letter for warmth, see santa claus on the card, and finally understand that in Gwen's eyes, Santa claus is just a symbol, and the Christmas gift she is looking forward to is the most important.
After several tosses, Arthur, who was originally afraid of heights, bravely chased back the sleigh, and with the help of his grandfather and sacrificed the sleigh, he finally arrived at Gwen's home before the sun rose.
At this time, the brother, father and grandfather also went through the difficulties to arrive, they hid behind the door together to see Gwen open the happy scene of the gift, understand: for children, "Christmas gifts" make them feel happier and happier, and Santa Claus does not matter who it is, how the gifts arrive is not important.
"As long as the gift is delivered, Santa Claus can't be seen." This is the belief that Santa Claus has always insisted on, only because Santa Claus will change, but the meaning of Christmas will not change, Christmas is the transmission of love.
