You!

Yes, me, I've always been in charge

of bringing the presents to the children in this.

The kids, , not children.

What on earth is

- Shh! - going on here?

You're going to wake up

- Shh! - the kids.

- Watch out! - Shh!

What on earth are you doing here?

What on earth are

- Shh! - you doing here?

Uh, the child, what's his name?

- Kepa! - Shh!

Kepa asked me for a present.

Well, why didn't you just tell me this at the Forum?

I didn't want you to worry.

So, the father must've written to you then?

Uh, no, actually Kepa did.

Kepa?

Shh!

Why didn't you tell me?

Uh, I mean, why didn't you tell Olentzero?

Well, you know, this year's campaign has been crazy.

Things get crazy every year.

Look, let's just calm down

and get on with delivering our presents.

I know this flat like the back of my hand.

I'll tidy up later.

See you at the Forum.

Yes, have a...

Shh!

Journey.

Hmm.

Hoteiosho.

I finished delivering my presents and came to check

that you had received this child's request.

You know, it makes me sad to see this child

asking me for his presents instead of you.

Do not worry, Santa.

It is not your fault that you are now the fashionable genie.

Would you like to make the delivery like you used to?

Thank you, my friend, but it is now your job

to make this child happy.

Shall we see each other at the Forum?

Yes, at the Forum.

Hmm?

Well, how did it go?

Uh, well.

Does it work or not?

Uh, it works, but.

But what?

Um, we had to zap him several times

in order to get an ad.

No matter, bring him to me.

We have a whole year to improve the machine.

I wonder what Santa brought me?

Look what I got from Olentzero!

The genies are coming!

Aw, he's my favorite.

We gotta get ready!

The genies are coming!

Oh boy, the genies are coming, they're coming!

Hey everybody, the genies are coming!

The genies are coming!

The genies are here!

The genies are here!

Yeah, woohoo!

We're all ready for Three Wise Men!

And like every year,

now that all the genies from around the world

have gathered together,

we can officially open the Genies' Forum.

There's one genie missing.

What?

What was that Pixi Post?

Hoteiosho's missing.

What do you mean, Hoteiosho's missing?

He must be here.

Well, I expect something important came up.

What, something more important than this meeting?

I know no one will want to hear this,

but we all know that when a genie has no children,

he or she disappears.

But Hoteiosho has children!

Very few in recent times.

But one is enough.

Maybe he lost his last one.

I saw him!

You should admit the truth.

All the children who used to ask Hoteiosho

for their presents now ask you.

What?

I bet it was Monopolish!

Who's Monopolish?

Uh, Monopolish has been unable to do anything against us

since we stripped him of his magic.

Monopolish?

Shh!

Maybe he found something to replace his magic?

If that is the case, then we have a serious problem.

We should conduct an investigation.

I'll go to Tokyo and follow his tracks from there.

Our job is to take care of children.

Why don't we send one of our loyal elves on this mission?

That's a good idea.

Elfons?

Oh, uh, me?

But I'm in charge of the heating system for the Forum.

Elfielle?

I can't, uh, I manage the cooling system for the Forum.

Otherwise it gets way too hot.

Elfoil?

I'm in charge of coordinating

the heating and cooling systems.

Anti-stress classes.

I teach them.

And I go to them.

Well, um, Pixi Post's developing the IT system.

I mean, really, nobody knows what on earth

we need an IT system for.

Yeah, after all, IT is nothing

but a cheap alternative to magic, right, right?

It's nothing but.

Well, I totally agree about IT being a waste of time,

but I don't think that she is exactly

what we're looking for, bearing in mind her history.

Perhaps, dear elves, it would be better

if we discussed this matter amongst ourselves.

So, who is this Monopolish?

I don't wanna talk about it.

But I'm the only one who doesn't know.

Hopping holly berries, I guess I'll just have to tell you.

If I want the animals to get any dinner.

Many centuries ago, in Roman times,

Monopolish was a famous genie.

He was always joking and he attracted many children

from all the countries under Roman rule.

He started to believe he was better than the other genies.

He began to use trickery to win over other genies' children.

A few of the smaller genies were left

without any children at all and disappeared.

And that's what happened to Boo.

He was a genie from the Atlantic islands,

and when Monopolish took his last child,

he just disintegrated.

When Olentzero realized that Monopolish

was using dirty tricks to steal his children,

he followed him and saw

that he was doing the same to genies also.

Olentzero called the Genies' Forum together.

Back then, the Forum kept Arbolie hidden

in the Ethiopian desert.

The genies woke our Arbolie and unanimously agreed

to strip Monopolish of all his magic.

They sentenced him to live among humans forever.

Monopolish managed to trick a few elves

into becoming his followers,

making them believe that the other genies

had kicked him out because they were jealous of him.

These elves are now renegade elves

and that's why we call them anelves.

From then on, the genies decided to hold a Forum every year

and to conceal Arbolie in this new hideout

so that Monopolish could never again recover his magic.

Was Pixi Post one of those anelves?

No!

Pixi Post was Boo's helper.

Oh!

She waited for Boo's return for weeks and months,

even years!

But the genie she loved the best never game back.

Snegurochka remembered that Boo had a helper,

a small elf, and she went to look for her,

but by then, Pixi Post had become stubborn and bitter,

filled with a feeling of sadness and rage

that is slowly but surely eating her up inside.

When she arrived here,

she said the genies were nothing more than

old plum puddings.

She's a nice enough elf,

but if she can't get over what happened to her,

how is she going to help anyone else?

I don't believe we need an investigation at all,

but I agree with Santa Claus.

We do need an investigation,

even if all it does is prove you're right.

I vote for Pixi Post.

We all deserve a second chance.

I think we have heard what everyone has to say.

Let us decide.

Who thinks Pixi Post should be our defender?

Hmm, it's a tie.

Now, it's your turn.

Is she your friend?

She was Boo's friend.

We all miss Boo.

I knew Boo even before you did.

Pixi Post, we have chosen you,

but we don't know whether, whether you feel up to it.

Take all the time you need to decide.

I've decided.

What powers have you given me?

The power to fly?

No, we need that to deliver our presents.

Rays, to shoot the baddies with them?

Certainly not!

Someone could get hurt.

But I'm supposed to fight Monopolish.

Your best power is in here,

and also, we've given you a mobile ponytail.

A what?

A moving ponytail, oh great, well, I guess it'll be useful

to be able to talk on the phone while I'm driving.

On behalf of the Genies' Forum,

I name you Pixi Post, Defender of the Genies.

Hooray for Pixi Post!

Hooray!

It'll work much better.

How strange, an aurora australis.

Sir, sir, Mr. Monopolish sir, a change in magic.

They have activated Arbolie!

Where, where is it?

The silly old plum puddings have hidden her in Antarctica.

I wonder why they've woken her up.

Maybe to say farewell to Hoteiosho, so sentimental.

Seeing as you have no magic of your own to fly with,

I found the perfect job for you,

one that will let you travel all over the world

and enable you to mingle freely with the humans,

but you can contact whenever you like.

All you have to do is send us a letter.

You know that we like receiving mail.

A letter?

You know this is the 21st century, right?

I've brought you each a communicator.

This way, we'll be able

to speak to each other whenever we like

and I'll always know exactly where you are.

This is an unacceptable invasion of our privacy.

Yeah, yeah.

She will only know where we are.

She won't be able to see

how many scoops of ice cream we're eating.

But why do we have to change

our communications interface and operating system?

Inter what?

He means our tree communications.

Oh!

Don't forget, Pixi is not a genie.

She cannot communicate through trees.

If the person in charge of our safety

believes that we need these, then we do.

I agree, put one of those thingies on me, please.

See, here are their signals.

Take one each.

Hey!

♪ Farewell Antarctica

♪ There is no place around the world ♪

♪ As cool as you are

♪ Farewell big white mountains

♪ You are my dreams, you are my thoughts ♪

♪ When I'm so far

♪ Goodbye Arbolie

♪ You are my north, you are my south ♪

♪ You are my star

♪ We're all friendly and we're free ♪

♪ Because I cannot see

♪ The blue sky and the sea

♪ There is a home for me

♪ It's not going to be

♪ Like my re-al-e-tree

Hooray for Monopolish!

The One and Only Genie!

My beloved anelves,

the experiment we conducted with Hoteiosho

taught us two things.

One, the admutator is not yet ready.

And two, Arbolie is hidden in Antarctica.

This new situation demands

that we implement a new management system.

Huh?

We shall set up three teams.

Ah!

Anelfward shall lead team one,

charged with perfecting the admutator.

Their mission will be to produce

fully functional admutators before next Christmas!

And then, to turn every genie

into an advertisement forever!

Anelfrost and team two shall disguise themselves

as scientists and travel to Antarctica.

Their mission, to find Arbolie and to get back my magic!

We'll find her, sir!

Anelfe, our marketing director, will lead team three.

Her advertising campaign

to raise the money to make the admutator.

Some of Anelfe's campaigns have become true classics.

Now, we will create a new campaign,

a campaign that will touch the hearts

of all the children in the world.

All the kids will love me again.

My dear children, how I've missed you all these centuries.

Then you, you will be the only Christmas elves!

Hooray for Monopolish!

I heard he broke his leg yesterday.

Huh, well, he's not gonna make it to the next game.

- Hey. - Hey!

You two, what are you doing?

Hurry up, your plane leaves in 15 minutes,

and you have four parcels waiting.

Come on, come on, come on.

Oh, the new girl, about time.

Hey, no, no, no, no, no, what are you doing?

Vorsicht, who's gonna pay for it

if you drop one of those and it breaks?

- Uh. - Mm, mm?

Okay, let's see your paperwork.

Okay, Virginia, 20 years working in Antarctica.

Okay, none of my business.

Main thing is you're here now.

Welcome to Messenger.

I'll send the information to your tablet.

I don't believe it, not again!

All right, we'll just have to do this

the old-fashioned way here.

Those are yours.

Hmm?

Okay, being a currier

means that you take parcels and deliver them, yes?

Do you understand?

You pick them up and take them away.

And never forget the Messenger motto, always on time.

Oh, good, the post is here.

Oh, thank you, my dear.

Oh, how darling!

Oh, look!

Aw, what a shame, I'll have to return this.

Oh my, I've left the pan on the stove.

Well, look at you, playing with that girl,

you naughty little thing.

You come on inside.

I say, dear colleague,

have you seen any trees in this area?

Trees in Antarctica?

Everyone knows there are no trees in Antarctica.

There is one tree though,

the Christmas tree at our hut!

Well, I, uh, thanks anyway.

Special delivery for New Zealand.

Oh!

One day, I'm gonna chuck this piece of junk into the trash.

Uh, what do I need to do to get into special deliveries?

Ooh, surprise, surprise, the girl can talk.

What do I need to do?

Easy, complete 5,000 deliveries in one year.

But I can't wait that long.

Neither can our customers.

Remember our motto?

Always on time.

Olentzero has the floor.

Right, this is what I want us to discuss.

What shall we do when a child

asks two different genies for a present?

At the very least,

- we should talk it over. - Come in, Snegurochka.

Excuse me, I'll be right back.

Pixi Post, are you all right?

Uh, yes, Snegurochka.

It's just that I am delivering ordinary parcels.

And?

I'll never get a chance

to find out what happened to Hoteiosho.

In order to investigate,

you have to learn to function among humans, don't you think?

Yes.

I'm sure you'll find a way.

If you feel lonely, call me.

I will always be here for you.

That one.

Eh.

Thank you.

Here you go.

See ya later.

Where are you, Hoteiosho?

Oh, you poor dear!

Oh, well, isn't this nice?

Uh?

Ah!

Shh!

Would you please just fix

this stupid contraption once and for all?

Oh!

Oh!

Gorri, Gorri!

Gorri, Gorri.

Away with the humans again?

Still no trace of Arbolie.

Ah!

Ah, good job!

Okay.

Where shall we put this, sir?

Put it in Tokyo, right in the middle of the city

where everyone can see it!

And we'll do the same with all the others!

35 deliveries, what a day.

Oh, I'm never gonna make it on time.

What do you mean a day?

How are we meant to work with no computer?

There's nothing more I can do.

In order to install the driver,

we need a new operating system

and the hardware's just too old for that.

What, what, why, why must you always

talk in techno gobbledygook, why?

If I fix it, will you let me

join the special deliveries team?

Don't talk nonsense.

Can't you see this is a disaster?

I could fix your disaster if you give me a chance.

And just how exactly are you going to fix it?

Even the technician can't do it.

If I were to fix it...

Okay, yes, yes, if you were to fix it,

then yes, I would let you into special deliveries,

and I would give you a big kiss

and dance in the middle of the room for good measure.

- Hey! - Sorry,

this is the password, right?

It's a disaster.

What have you done?

- What? - Huh?

Well, what are you all looking at?

Hey, there are parcels to be delivered, people!

Let's go, let's go, get on with it!

Oh!

What about your promise?

Oh, I shall name you head of IT.

I wanna be a special currier.

Okay, but one mistake, and I shall transfer you to IT.

Oh, here you go, parcel for New York.

New York?

But I...

What, what, what are you doing? Are you trying to ruin me?

What does it say there?

Fragile, fragile, don't you see that?

Oh, fragile.

Right, now, remember,

you must always have the package with you,

always, at all times, and constantly.

Otherwise, your wristband and I will both go berserk.

Now, you'll get all the other information on your tablet,

and be careful because there are no roundabouts in, Tokyo?

Wait a minute, didn't that say New York a second ago?

Yes!

Number 34, number 35.

This is it!

These, please.

Here you are.

Anything else?

Huh, this too, please.

How much?

Hoteiosho, 2,000 yen, please.

Thank you.

Coffee, please.

Here you are.

Thanks.

If I were Monopolish, how would I catch Hoteiosho?

Pew, pew, pew, pew.

Mm?

His boat would be left behind!

Christmas Eve, row boat, Tokyo.

Bingo, a boat turned up at the parking lot Christmas day.

Where the devil are you?

On my way to the airport.

You do realize that we're on a video conference

and that I can see you, right?

Oh, yes, I'll be there soon.

Good, because your plane is leaving in 10 minutes.

Didn't I tell you I would give you only one chance?

Yes, and you also said

you'd do dance in the middle of the room.

I, I, I, uh.

I need to get back to Tokyo.

I need to see that boat.

Oh no, Christmas time is here already?

♪ Christmas

Ah!

Ah, ah, Virginia, hope you had fun in Tokyo

because now, you'll be going to, Tokyo?

But you just delivered to Tokyo.

Oh well, it's...

Very unusual.

Not that unusual for unusual things to happen

to an unusual person, like me.

Huh?

I'd love to hang around and explain it,

but you know the Messenger motto, always on time!

But.

So, this is where they brought the boat.

This is a job for Pixi Post.

Huh?

Snegurochka here, come in, Pixi Post.

Uh, Pixi Post here.

Look, this is a really bad time.

But we've just begun

the Christmas campaign, and...

I'll call you back, over and out.

Ah!

Well, it looks like this ponytail's

got more to it than meets the eye.

A fingerprint, it looks like an elf's, or maybe, an anelf's.

This is Pixi Post, come in, Snegurochka,

come in, Snegurochka!

This is Pixi Post, come in, Snegurochka!

Come in, Snegurochka!

I'll do my very best

to bring you something you'll really like.

Hooray!

Some dinosaurs, a ninja figure.

- Pixi Post... - And a hockey stick, and.

Three, two, one, blast off!

Hey!

Come back here!

Got ya!

Post calling, come in, someone!

Olentzero here, Pixi, is it important or, huh...

Of course, it's important!

Look after my children for a minute.

It's Pixi Post, I'm going to have to go out for a moment.

Don't worry, I'll be right back.

What on earth is going on?

Olentzero is going out, sir.

Excellent!

I couldn't have planned this better myself.

This is Monopolish speaking.

Team three, prepare for stage two.

Team two here, ready to execute stage three.

I said team three prepare for stage two.

Yes, sir, this is team three ready to execute stage three.

Two!

Stage two, you nincompoops!

Oh, for heaven's sake, will you please just catch Olentzero?

Oh, so stage two then.

Huh?

Olentzero here, come in, Pixi Post.

Finally.

Sorry, but we're in the middle of the Christmas campaign.

Snegurochka said she'd called to let you know.

What?

Oh, yeah, all right, but listen, you're in danger.

We need to meet now.

Now?

But it's Christmas.

I have a whole load of kids lining up to see me.

We can use the communicators.

Uh, yes, uh, about that, um, I think Snegurochka and I

are the only ones with a communicator.

No one else has a communicator?

Eh, don't get me wrong, but you know how hard it is

to change the habits of a lifetime.

We'll call them through a tree.

From root to root, Olentzero's voice.

Hello there, my pretty one.

From root to root, Befana's voice.

From root to root, Snegurochka's voice.

Pixi wants to tell us something,

and since no one's got a communicator,

I thought we'd better use the old system.

I have one, hello, Pixi Post.

Listen, you have to get the Forum together.

Now?

I'm repeating all this so that you can hear it, Befana.

Pixi Post wants us to call a meeting.

In the middle of Christmas?

What's going on, Pixi Post?

I think you're all in terrible danger.

She thinks we're all in terrible danger.

I found a hook in Hoteiosho's boat

and a fingerprint on the hook.

It was an elf print, I think it belongs to an anelf.

It could belong to an elf.

What?

What could belong to an elf?

We were saying that the hook

may belong to an anelf or an elf.

You mean, it could belong to both?

I think it's more likely to belong to an elf.

But what's such a big hook doing in Hoteiosho's boat?

Perhaps he was fishing.

What, shark fishing?

Shark fishing?

Shark fishing?

I don't understand anything.

Befana says that she doesn't understand anything.

We can't talk like this.

You need to interrupt the campaign and meet me at the Forum.

We can't abandon our children because of a mere suspicion.

Why did you name me Defender of the Genies

if you're never gonna take notice of anything I say?

It's not that easy.

We would endanger the whole campaign.

Pixi Post, can you hear me?

I've never known anyone so stubborn.

Are you going to tell Dad?

No, Kepa, I'm not a tattletale,

but I am gonna stay with you

to make sure you don't do anything stupid again.

Don't worry, sis, I'll be good, I promise.

I believe you, a bit, but not much.

Want some sweets?

Mm, yeah!

Let's go to Daddy's cafe to have a cup of hot chocolate.

Okay.

Oh, listen, sis, I forgot something.

You go ahead and I'll catch up in a minute.

Pixi Post!

Well, maybe she's right.

Ouch!

Huh?

Hi, Balthazar!

Gotcha!

No!

Get off me, you big bully!

The boy is with me.

He's a delinquent.

Listen, friend, don't you remember

what you were like as a kid?

Uh.

We all deserve a second chance.

Oh, I'll give him a second chance, but not a third one!

You should talk to Olentzero.

He's very worried about you.

Yeah?

Well, I was gonna give him a piece of my mind too

until he took off in that nice van.

He what?

What did you say?

He ran away like a coward, just like I'm going to now.

Hey!

Oh, I am sorry, ma'am, let me help you.

Huh?

From root to root, Balthazar's voice.

Balthazar?

We were just talking to Olentzero.

Olentzero's vanished!

We have to call Pixi Post.

What do you mean, vanished?

Vanished, he's been taken away.

Oh no, Pixi Post was right.

I'll call the Genies' Forum immediately.

What, now, at Christmas time?

Yes, now.

Snegurochka here, come in, Pixi Post.

Pixi Post, are you there?

Here you are, hurry up now, go, go, go.

Oh, what now?

Another little trip to Tokyo?

I don't know where I'm scheduled to go next.

You don't know?

You mean you're not dying to get back to Tokyo?

Look, I'm not in the mood to talk.

I'm actually not in the mood for anything.

To be honest, I don't even know what I'm doing here.

Look, it can't be as bad as all that.

Anyway, you can't let me down now.

At Christmas, people send lots of special packages.

Look, why don't you take the afternoon off, hmm?

You'll feel better tomorrow.

Eh, hey, that, is that package insured?

- Uh. - Did you...

I think so.

Okay, well, look at the insurance label.

That label says it's insured.

Okay, well, let me see the label.

Olentzero!

What are you doing?

Going back to work.

But I told you to take the afternoon off.

I'm tired of being tired.

Bilbao?

Team two, keep your eyes open.

We've scared the genies.

Now, they'll probably call a Forum and, wow!

That is brilliant!

Although, don't you think I look a little tubby?

On the poster, you chump!

Oh, well, that's just because of the colors.

Uh, the colors are fine.

Um, I think it might be the font, shade too thick maybe?

Just what exactly are you suggesting?

That we can shrink his waist by using thinner letters?

Oh, um, I just meant...

There they are!

What?

Where, what?

There!

Oh, uh, somewhere between meridian lines 105 and 125.

Terrific!

Uh.

Well, what are you waiting for?

He just went outside for a moment,

and that was the last we saw of him.

You, you were right.

It was Monopolish.

Oh, come here, you stubborn old genie!

There's no need to say anything.

If we fight amongst ourselves,

then Monopolish has already won.

Let us delay no longer.

Is Pixi Post coming?

Well, actually, the thing is that Pixi Post...

Pixi Post here, can you hear me?

Oh!

Pixi, we are at the Forum.

Excuse me a moment.

All of you have five seconds to turn on your communicators.

I have them.

Thank you, Gorri.

Pixi Post, do you copy?

Pixi Post here, are you ready?

Yes!

Oh good, you all put on your communicators now.

Did anyone see Olentzero disappear?

A boy called Kepa saw him whisked away in a truck.

Where can I find him?

You should start looking around

the Sal and Sell Department Store.

Right, I'm heading for Bilbao now.

What shall we do?

Uh, to be honest, the best thing you can do

is stay hidden until I...

But it's Christmas.

If we turn our back on the children,

they'll turn their back on us.

Let me come and help you.

What, is that you, Gorri?

Well, you're certainly brave.

Look, if I need your help, I...

Thank you, Gorri, but the human world

is no place for a small elf.

So, now what?

Do whatever you what, but for heaven's sake,

keep your communicators on.

I gotta go, my plane is leaving.

Pixi Post!

Oh, she's hung up.

Well, she certainly doesn't waste any words, does she?

Well, we must decide,

shall we continue with the Christmas campaign or not?

Yes.

Yes.

- Yes. - Yes.

- Yes. - Yes.

If we are all in agreement, let's get back to work.

Our children are waiting for us.

Long live Christmas!

Long live Christmas!

Oh, you know, I think we should disguise ourselves,

at least while we're not working.

I won't let you hurt Arbolie, you evil beast!

Oops, uh, sorry, Elfward.

I was just training to fight off the evil anelves.

Oh, young Gorri, the only thing

we have to worry about here in Antarctica is the scientists.

Come on, let's go in before one of them appears.

I don't believe in scientists.

Brilliant, scientists don't believe in elves either.

Really?

Scientists are just a story you oldies have come up with

to frighten little elves like me.

Do you know what scientists do

with little creatures they find?

What?

They put them in jars just like we do to jam.

What did I tell you?

He's retired.

No!

- Maybe he's sick or in trouble. - Well, why don't you just go

to one of the other old plum puddings over there.

But I want Olentzero!

He has to come.

Life's tough, little sis.

I'm going to see Dad.

You coming?

Hmm, I have to go look at a book.

Hmm.

Well, I wasn't lying.

I have looked at a book.

Balthazar!

Hello.

Huh?

You know, that child used to be ours.

Well, it's not my fault she changed her mind.

Of course, she changed her mind.

You're such a nice guy in all those films.

Oh, I've told you 1,000 times, I don't make those films!

Shh!

Any problems amongst the genies are sorted out at the Forum.

For centuries, you've had the last laugh.

Now, it's our turn!

Um, Mr. Monopolish, sir.

From far off, it looks small,

but there's actually a distance of 850 kilometers

between the two meridian lines.

It'll take us weeks to search everywhere.

Weeks?

We've only got two days.

Present-giving day is almost here.

I find challenges like this stimulating, don't you?

Uh.

Huh?

Team three, bring Olentzero here.

Oh, hurry up, we've only got two days.

Bye, Balthazar.

Your package, sir.

Oh, I didn't order anything?

It's me!

Oh!

Shh!

Where can I find the boy?

What?

Oh, he's the one over there playing video games.

Okay, thanks.

You have to sign for this, sir, to say it's not yours.

Anelf, anelf!

Huh?

Anelves, the anelves are coming!

What's going on?

Elfward, the anelves are here.

They're up there!

It's true, Elfward.

It's only scientists torturing a poor bird.

But I saw anelves.

I warned you about scientists, Gorri.

Until they've gone, you youngsters may not go outside.

This is Elfward, everyone calm down.

They're just scientists.

Aw.

I want one of those for Christmas.

Huh, I'll see what I can do.

Oh, cool!

I have to talk to you about Olentzero.

Beat it, currier, give me a break.

Uh, hello, lady, I said, beat it.

We could activate the fire alarm.

Then they would all leave.

But if they go out with all the customers,

it'll be more difficult to catch them.

It would be better to pick them off one by one.

I couldn't agree more, one thing at a time.

Who is this strange elf?

I don't know, sir.

Who on earth are you?

Didn't you ear the question?

Tell us how you are or...

Oh, sure, but I've got so many answers.

I'm Hoteiosho's friend, and I'm Olentzero's friend,

and Monopolish's worst nightmare.

I am Pixi Post, the Defender of the Genies!

Wonderful!

The old plum puddings have trained a fighter for us.

What a great move!

Hey, she looks way more dangerous than you.

Hey, you, cleaner, what's goin' on here?

There's an intruder.

You, stop right there!

We got a 401 in the warehouse, call for backup!

We're here!

Huh, uh?

Come on!

She's gotta be around here somewhere, right?

Hey!

Ah.

Gotcha!

I haven't done anything.

I don't care, I'm fed up

to the back teeth with everything.

But Olentzero hasn't been seen for the last two days.

The store management offered

no explanations about his whereabouts.

This is Kattalin Irigaray for the Basque Channel, Bilbao.

So, what did you want from me anyway?

What?

Oh, it's you.

Nothing, I just wanted to ask you

what kind of van Olentzero went away in,

but I had no idea you were so small.

What, small?

Well, your van's nothing but an old TransVan

and a C model, the one they give to second-rate workers.

Wow, you really know your stuff.

And the vehicle that took Olentzero away?

Who are you, what have you got in that box?

Listen, kid, mind your own beeswax.

You can either tell me the van type or beat it!

I'm sorry.

Oh no, Befana!

What?

I need a parcel to Italy.

Hi, Santa Claus.

Hiya, Rotti.

Oh, they're coming!

Fire, Rotti, you know, before we give the presents,

we have to check the quality of the material.

She just assigned herself a package to Italy.

She logs on with your password.

Well, do something for goodness sake.

Fastest thing, pick a new password

that only you will remember.

Oh, ah, mm-hmm.

Sir, they've arrived with Olentzero.

Ha, finally.

Monopolish.

Long time, no see, old friend.

Where's Hoteiosho?

In Tokyo.

Tokyo?

Nonsense, we just...

Oh, you don't believe me?

Such mistrust.

Where is he?

That's not Hoteiosho.

That is Hoteiosho,

after I turned him into an advertisement,

and I'm going to do the same to you,

unless you tell me where Arbolie is.

Never!

Oh, wait, wait, okay, I'll tell you.

Arbolie is, she's at the Genies' Forum.

I know that, but where is the Genies' Forum.

It's wherever Arbolie is.

Listen, old friend, soon, I'll be the only genie left.

Is that what you asked for for Christmas?

Silence!

If you tell me where Arbolie is,

I'll let you carry on being a genie

in your itsy bitsy corner of the planet,

but if you don't tell me,

your children will be left alone with no presents,

sad and forgotten forever!

I will never betray the genies of the world!

Ha, don't worry, he can't hurt anyone and he knows it.

So, you wanna be loyal to your friends, right?

I understand, my friend.

I am not your friend!

You have no friends.

But it seems your friends

don't care a fig about your disappearance.

Now...

Olentzero's kids will be ours.

Well, I get half of them.

I've been waiting for this moment for years.

You're trying to trick me!

So, now, think about who will be eternally grateful

if you tell me where Arbolie is.

You're a disgrace to the genies of this world.

Go jump in a lamp!

What's that?

It looks like a communicator.

Wow, it seems the plum puddings

have finally dragged themselves

into the 21st century.

Too late!

Let's turn them all into ads!

Ow!

Ow!

You!

How on earth?

You, you're no ordinary currier.

No kidding, right, I have to stop the plane.

No, wait, if you do that,

I won't tell you anything about what I saw.

Your mom's going to be worried sick.

I have to get you home.

I don't have a mom!

She died last year and nobody helped her,

not even Olentzero.

But your dad will be worried.

Nah, he spends all his time working in his cafe anyway.

Huh?

What are you doing?

Are you crazy?

Okay, now, let's see if we can figure this out together.

Sit next to me.

Hey, don't give orders

or you'll find yourself on the end of parachute.

You really are one of a kind.

You're a real sourpuss.

What are you talking about?

You're a sourpuss, just like me.

Okay, why are you looking for Olentzero?

Because if I, if we don't find him,

he'll disappear forever, he and all the other genies.

Disappear forever?

How do you know?

Always trust a Christmas elf.

Hey, what model was that van?

Uh, it was a, it was a WeVan Deluxe 99S, latest model.

Oh, well, let's add color filter, color?

Uh, maroon, and it had a small satellite dish on top.

20 matches, we'll have to check them out one by one.

Russian television, no, sports channel, no, NSA, no

advertising agency in Paris.

Advertising agencies are evil.

What?

They make you buy all these things that you don't need

that don't make you happier.

That is very deep for a boy your age.

Hey, I know the streets in and out.

Hey, I know that M.

Oh, you're wrong, that's an upside down W.

It's an M.

Monopolish!

We have to go to Paris.

Oh no, the password's been changed.

Tom must've discovered my trick.

Tom, is he your boss?

Yes, he's my boss.

What's he like?

Well, I don't know, hardworking.

Does he have a catchphrase, something he's always saying?

I don't know.

It can't be that easy.

Always on time.

Way to go!

Oh, wait, I can't keep lying like this.

Huh, who said that?

- You are what you do. - Are you outta your mind?

Just move over and stay outta the way a bit, will you?

I've changed the password!

I know.

Now, you can't access the system.

I know the new password.

You can't know it.

You do?

Always on time.

Hopping holly berries!

Listen, Tom, I know the password,

but I don't wanna go on lying to you.

I wanna tell you the truth.

Oh, good, well, surprise me.

I'm doing it for the children.

The children?

You can't do better than that?

Hey, don't you scoff at her,

you don't know what you're talking about!

Who is that, what's he doing on our plane?

I told you to stay out of the way.

This is Kepa.

You're doing all this for his sake?

For my sake and for the sake of all the other children.

Are there any more kids on our plane?

Look, Tom, I know it's hard to understand,

but please believe me,

I'm just trying to do the right thing.

Am I a bad currier?

No, you're actually one of the best,

but this is not standard procedure.

Sometimes, we just have to do what we have to do,

but I won't let the customers down, or you either.

Or the children!

Be quiet!

I don't know, nothing like this has ever happened before.

Hey, you're scared of getting fired, right,

or what, you don't like children?

I said, keep quiet!

Well, you're have your work cut out

keeping him under control.

I was just like that when I was a boy.

All right, have it your way,

but I wanna make one thing perfectly clear,

I know nothing about any of this, okay?

If I get one single complaint, you're out!

Thank you, Tom, I...

Now, get outta my sight!

Oh, the only package for Paris leaves from Moscow.

Well, we just need a flight from Pisa to Moscow then.

Hey, who's behind the M.

It's a long story.

May I have your attention, please?

Will Santa Claus please come to the stockroom?

There's a package for him.

I repeat, will Santa Claus please come to the stockroom?

Oh no, they have Santa Claus as well.

Pixi Post here, Santa Claus has been taken.

The anelves are in Bilbao.

That means that you Wise Men are also in danger.

Oh no, watch out!

Cardboard!

Caspar's been caught too!

Balthazar here, Melchior and I are safe.

Pixi Post, you have to catch that rotten apple.

I'm trying!

What is the matter with Santa Claus, with Olentzero,

Snegurochka, or Befana, just to name a few?

All the genies around the world seem to have disappeared.

All we know for sure

is that thousands and thousands of children

are angry and upset because of their failure to turn up.

We've been here before.

And return a third time if necessary.

Let's cheer up Monopolish's Christmas by finding Arbolie.

Huh?

I knew it!

Ooh!

Huh, what have we here?

A little elf.

And you're anelves!

The old plum puddins wouldn't believe me.

I know, those old plum puddins

never listen to young people.

What?

You mean they didn't in your day either?

No, that's why we left the Forum.

You see, that's why now, we work for change.

One elf, one vote, that's all we want.

Wee!

Wow, all this belongs to Monopolish?

He was always a bit of a showoff.

So, what now?

You wait for me here.

Wait for me here.

Then they complain about how kids these days

do nothing but play video games.

Don't leave the van.

Wow, you're not only a Christmas elf,

but you're a superhero too!

I'm neither super nor a hero.

I just look after the gift-bringers.

I knew you weren't normal!

I just meant.

Wow, that you're special!

Shh!

That frown of yours is seriously scary.

Don't worry, little sis, I'll be home soon,

just as soon as we get his mess sorted out.

It's not the first time

he's gone missing, Manuel.

But he's never been away so long.

I've spoken to the department store security guard.

He's been up to all sorts of mischief lately.

Kepa hasn't been the same since his mom.

We'll find him, don't worry.

Help, I'm being held in a recording studio.

Help me, Pixi Post!

Olentzero?

Welcome, Pixi Post, Defender of the Genies.

Congratulations on discovering the lair

of the One and Only Genie.

Olentzero very kindly lent us this contraption.

Help, I'm being held in a recording studio.

Where are you holding Olentzero?

Over there, turned into an ad.

My machine is an incredible piece

of very advanced technology.

I call it the admutator.

I reckon I could well be in line for a Nobel Prize.

What about the other genies?

All of them turned into ads forever!

That's for Boo!

A real fighter.

I need more people like you on my team.

I'd rather be turned into an ad.

Sir, a call from...

Not now!

But sir!

I said, not now!

But sir, you have...

Can't you see we're having

a nice friendly bit of rough and tumble play here?

Oh, well, news about Arbolie.

Arbolie?

Arbolie, have we found her?

Yes, sir.

Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

Sir, this brave young elf

will tell us how to get into the Forum.

Gorri, no!

They're trying to take advantage of you

because you're just a child.

I'm not just a child.

Gorri, they want to make all the genies disappear.

No, they just wanna give

the old plum puddings a better Forum.

They're not old plum puddings!

They're not plum pudding.

Well, I'd love to stay here and play with you all day,

but we have a deadline to meet.

Christmas, you understand.

I'm finally about to get my magic back.

So, we'll just turn you into an ad,

one for anti-dandruff shampoo perhaps.

How about some head shrinking cream for you!

Well, then, back to work, everyone.

Anelfe and Anelfmari,

you stay here to organize the publicity campaign.

Rest of you lot, get your tools.

We're off to Antarctica!

Long live Monopolish, the One and Only Genie!

You know, the cold in Antarctica is so dry,

you won't even notice it.

Will you stop talking?

Ow.

Intruder!

I see him!

Virginia!

Pixi Post?

Oh wow, oh!

Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow!

Step away from the machine, human boy.

You're messing with the wrong team.

Kepa, get the admutator!

The machine in front of you.

It turns everything into ads!

Whoa!

Now, for Olentzero.

I'm so happy to see you!

I just asked you for one thing, for my mom to get better.

Kepa, genies can't do that.

As much as we'd love to, we can't heal anyone.

We just can't.

And you gave me a photo album, a stupid photo album.

But that's what your mother asked me to give you,

so you could remember how happy she was.

Mom asked you to give it me?

Uh, I, I, I know this is a special moment for you two,

but, uh, we, the other genies are still in danger,

and we have to.

Yeah!

Let's go and fight the villain!

You leave the bad guy to me.

I have a more important job for you.

You have to free all the genies

so that children all over the world will wake up tomorrow

and find their presents.

But how?

With my help!

I will take you on this unforgettable journey.

Take me?

Okay, but we have to warn the others.

Monopolish has your communicator,

so he can hear everything we say.

We need a tree!

We have to go outside then.

No, wait, I passed one on my way in.

Are you sure you've forgiven me?

From root to root, Balthazar, can you hear me?

From root to root, who is this?

The signal is dreadful.

It's!

Who on earth is!

Company called Worldini.

Could you repeat that, please?

Worldini building, Paris.

If you don't get here immediately,

I'll stick a cactus into your armpit!

Hello, my friend.

Next time you call me, take your chewing gum out first.

I couldn't make out what you were saying.

We were afraid we wouldn't see you again.

What's going on with my kids?

Don't worry, old fellow, they're all waiting for you.

Oh, thank you.

Hey, Pixi Post and Kepa!

Great to see you!

This is no time for chitchat.

We'll divide up into two teams, Kepa and Olentzero,

you free all the genies that have been turned into ads,

and you two, take me to Arbolie's cave.

Thank you, Kepa!

Mm, now hurry up!

Us too, fast!

Thank you, now go back to Olentzero

and help the other genies.

Thank you.

Stay safe, Pixi Post.

Come on, get inside.

We're doing this to get a more open Forum.

You're prisoners now, but tomorrow, you shall be freer.

What, hey, I'm still in here!

Hey!

This is all my fault.

I should have paid more attention to you.

But I'm on their side.

Why have they locked me in?

Because they've tricked you.

That's how they operate.

I thought they just wanted a better Forum.

Where is everyone?

There she is!

Ah, how did you get here?

Oh, whatever, what would be the end without a fight?

Get her!

Look, the aim here is to capture Pixi Post

so that I can hog Arbolie and get my magic back.

Now, try again.

See how much I admire you?

I had them invent these hair gel guns

inspired by your ponytail.

Take that, evil genie!

Huh?

What, what?

Come on.

How 'bout those?

No, neither of those is the real Santa.

How do you know?

'Cause I'm a child, I know which one's the real one.

Mm, that's the real Santa Claus!

- Ho ho! - Santa Claus!

Here we are.

Come on, we need to find our friends quickly.

Let's go.

Hi, Olentzero!

I told you he'd come back.

Hi, Balthazar!

We still got to get the presents ready for tonight.

And deliver them.

That's him!

Yes!

Hello, Caspar!

Okay, now, let's go find Ded Moroz and Snegurochka.

Whoa!

Stop!

Don't hurt Arbolie.

Pixi Post, you wouldn't really put Arbolie in danger

in order to save your own skin, would you?

A bit of hair gel is hardly going to hurt her,

but you will, you pudgy old plum pudding!

Pudgy, me?

Everyone shoot her!

It's very easy to trick someone

who has never known evil.

If we make an elf tower, we can reach the ceiling!

Well, didn't you hear him?

Stand on each other's shoulders, come on!

Get moving!

I can be much worse than the anelves.

Steady, steady.

What are you, real elves or Christmas decorations?

Show me what you're made of!

My friends, this has been fun,

but now the time has come for me to get my magic back,

just like the old days.

The old days are where you belong!

Get him, Pixi Post!

No, no, not another one.

Well, now I'm officially angry!

You'll never be able

to encircle Arbolie's trunk by yourself.

No matter, I shall do it myself.

No way!

Yes way!

Up there, it's much thinner!

Do I have to do everything around here?

Oh, thank goodness!

Have you found Hoteiosho?

Not yet, let's go to Tokyo.

Oh, say cheese, please.

Cheese!

That's the real genie!

Watch out!

Come on.

Oh, you useless bunch of pointy-eared ninnies!

Cover them in hair gel!

Anelfrost, wrap it up!

Yes, sir!

Now, finish her off!

What's wrong?

Arbolie.

Huh?

Do you want me to go find a doctor?

No, I feel better now.

Let's get on with it.

Come on then.

Hoteiosho!

I knew that you would come.

Friendship is the light that illuminates our path.

Hey guys, we still got a lotta work to do!

Let's go!

Long live Christmas!

Long live Christmas!

You kicked us out!

That's just not true.

Monopolish told you a pack of lies.

But you wanted to make us disappear.

Of course, we didn't.

We expelled Monopolish, not you.

You mean, you don't hate us?

Monopolish tricked you just like you tricked me.

Hey everybody, the genies are coming!

Olentzero, Snegurochka,

Monopolish is in the whale's mouth

and the anelves are with us again.

It was a really hard fight.

Together again at last!

Welcome home!

Beautiful!

We're all together again.

Oh, how much love?

Well, I love you too, but in another way.

Pixi Post!

Ha!

Oh, the nightmare is over.

Now, we can get on with our work.

Aye, we still got to deliver the presents before daybreak!

Daybreak!

Before.

Daybreak?

Anelfcam, can you log onto your server from here

and cancel the One and Only Genie campaign?

Of course.

I think I can do better than that.

The strange ad campaign proclaiming a unique genie

has been replaced by another campaign

that invites to attend parades of different genies.

Kepa, you're back!

Where have you been?

We were so worried.

I've been helping the Christmas genies.

Please, Dad, we'll be late.

Yes, okay, okay, let's go.

And here they are, always on time.

Hello, hello, my friends!

Kepa, Idoia, Manuel!

I owe your son a big debt of gratitude, Manuel.

Huh?

He really is a remarkable boy.

Boop.

Oh.

Told ya.

Santa, Santa!

Look, it's Santa!

Befana, Befana!

Saint Nicholas!

Bye!

Wow!

Cool, Santa brought me a train.

Delivery.

For me?

Whoa!

Are those Virginia and me?

That's amazing!

As we the genies always say,

the best present is to be all together, now and forever.

We will do our very best to make sure

that no one anywhere ever again

has reason to call us old plum puddings.

Oh, what the heck
