On December 6, 2024, Netflix unveils Ce Noël-là, an endearing animated comedy by Richard Curtis, the mind behind such classics as Love Actually and Coup de foudre à Notting Hill. Directed by Simon Otto (Dragons), the film, produced by Locksmith Animation, marks Curtis' first foray into the world of animation. Based on his trilogy of children's books, This Christmas plunges us into a series of funny and moving stories exploring the themes of family, friendship and Santa's mistakes. With a star-studded voice cast including Brian Cox, Fiona Shaw, and Jodie Whittaker, this heartwarming comedy promises to be the perfect family holiday treat.
In Ce Noël-là, several stories come together to create a festive fresco full of warmth and humor. The story begins with Santa making a monumental mistake: instead of delivering presents, he causes total chaos! At the same time, families struggle with their own Christmas challenges: the Williams try to salvage a disastrous dinner party, while the Forrests try to reconnect with their children. From little Bernadette, whose faith in Christmas is put to the test, to the wacky adventures of children and parents, everyone finds themselves involved in a whirlwind of hilarious situations. At the heart of this festive madness, human relationships and the spirit of solidarity emerge, providing a gentle reflection on family, love and the magic of the holidays.
This Christmas is aimed at a family audience, but will also appeal to adults who grew up with Richard Curtis's cult romantic comedies . Children will enjoy the adventures of the bumbling Santa Claus, while adults will rediscover the bittersweet humor and endearing characters that characterize Curtis' writing. The film stands out for its unique blend of Christmas magic and situational comedy, reminiscent at times of classics like Mr. Jack's Strange Christmas or The Five Legends, but with Curtis's own warm, sentimental touch. If you enjoyed Love Actually or Vaiana, Ce Noël-là is sure to be a must-see this holiday season.
With Ce Noël-là, Richard Curtis and Simon Otto deliver a funny, touching and visually charming animated film, perfect for celebrating the festive season. Between laughter and tenderness, this Christmas tale explores the essential values of family and love, while reminding us that even Santa's mistakes can lead to magical moments. Available on Netflix from December 6, 2024, this film will appeal to the whole family and offer a moment of pure Christmas magic.
