How the Toys Saved Christmas
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.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This is cinema with character. It doesn't try to please everyone at once — it has its own position, its own intonation.
The film is honest with its audience. Doesn't promise more than it delivers — and that itself has value.
For those who find pleasure in details, not just in plot turns.
Director: Enzo D'Alò

Viewing atmosphere: With someone close, when there's time and mood. Not as background — it asks for attention.
