About this Event
This beautifully animated half-hour film is a perfect family treat for Christmas.
The heart-warming and touching tale tells how eight-year-old Henry’s efforts to spread Christmas cheer bring much-needed joy into the life of a lonely old lady. Henry loves everything about Christmas and can’t wait to post his letter to Santa up the chimney. Wanting everyone to share his excitement, he travels around his neighbourhood with his best friend, Frank the robin, putting up decorations. But when he comes to Miss Broom’s house, she wants nothing to do with Christmas and shoos him away. Undeterred, Henry tries all sorts of ways to decorate the gloomy house, eventually sneaking down her chimney – where he dislodges a charred and tatty old letter, caught in the loose brickwork, which turns out to be from a very young and lonely Miss Broom to Santa Claus asking for a friend to play with. Henry realises that Santa never received the letter, so Miss Broom never got a friend, which is why she has turned her back on the festivities. Henry, determined that it’s not too late for Miss Broom to discover the magic of Christmas, sets out to put things right.
Narrated by Kate Winslet (Titanic, The Reader, Blackbird) and starring Irish actors Fiona Shaw (Harry Potter, Killing Eve), Caitriona Balfe (Outlander, Money Monster) and James Quinn Markey (Hole in the Ground), the 3D animation is written and directed by Kealan O’Rourke (The Boy in the Bubble, Emily the Strange, Danger Mouse).
