Screen Media has acquired North American rights to the animated holiday film “Elliot: The Littlest Reindeer,” which will hit U.S. theaters Nov. 30.
Written and directed by Jennifer Westcott, the film follows Elliot (voiced by Josh Hutcherson), a miniature horse whose lifelong dream is to pull Santa’s sleigh. He gets his chance after Blitzen retires, and travels to the north pole with his friend Hazel the goat to compete for the open spot.
Along with Hutcherson (“The Hunger Games”), the film features Samantha Bee as Hazel, with John Cleese, Martin Short, Jeff Dunham, and Morena Baccarin.
It’s produced by Lucas Lynette-Krech, Awesometown Entertainment in association with Elgin Road Productions Ltd.
