Enchanting animation is an alternative origin story for Father Christmas written and directed by Sergio Pablos, the Spanish animator who created the franchise. Jason Schwartzman voices Jesper, a trainee postman who is sent to the Arctic town of Smeerensburg as punishment for his perpetual indolence. “He’s definitely searching for something,” , “But he’s also a character who’s very spoiled. He’s gone through life doing as little work as possible. Those kids were always the most frustrating people in high school, at least for me. They were so smart and they had it all figured out, and I wanted vengeance. I wanted them to pay the price.” With additional voice work from Rashida Jones and the late, great Norm Macdonald, this is a festive treat with unexpected bite.
