Summary

For years, Santa Claus didn't manage to deliver their present to the last kids on his list, the Zyx's in Zyxville. Peter and Julie Zyx dream of video games, robots, computer dolls but are bitterly disappointed when they find each time under the tree clumsy looking wooden clogs, noodles necklaces etc... made by their cool ecological parents. This year has to change and they have a plan: get Santa! Helped by 3 young rappers, poor Santa will get involved in a fast and furious city jungle adventure...

Another kind of Christmas story based on an original idea from Théo, with a distinctive look, ecclectic actors and the clear understanding that Christmas is a spirit rather than just a few toys... Awarded at Auch (Best TV special) and Bourg-en-Bresse (Audience Award) festivals and nominated at Deauville, Annecy, Cinanima (Portugal) and Stuttgart Festivals. This 26' animated special earns regularly great ratings in France, Germany (Kika) and many other countries.
