Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for That Christmas, a festive animated comedy directed by Simon Otto and co-written by Richard Curtis, known for holiday classics like Love Actually. The film is based on Curtis' popular series of Christmas books and marks his debut in animated storytelling. Set for release on December 4, the movie follows intertwined tales of family, friendships, and the chaos that unfolds when Santa Claus, voiced by Brian Cox, makes a significant mistake just as a snowstorm hits.

The trailer gives a glimpse into the film's whimsical narrative, showcasing various characters navigating the highs and lows of the holiday season. These stories come to life with a star-studded voice cast, including Fiona Shaw, Jodie Whittaker, Bill Nighy, and Ed Sheeran, who also performs an original song for the soundtrack. The movie captures themes of love, loneliness, and the unpredictable nature of Christmas, drawing parallels to Curtis' signature style seen in Love Actually, but with a family-friendly animated twist.

Otto's direction brings rich visual storytelling, while Locksmith Animation's production ensures a blend of humor and heartfelt moments. The film's aesthetic and comedic style aim to appeal to all ages, hoping to become a seasonal staple. For Curtis, working on his first animated project has been a dream come true, allowing him to create a world “beyond his wildest dreams” with an impressive ensemble of voice talent.

That Christmas promises to deliver the warmth and humor characteristic of Richard Curtis' beloved films, while offering a fresh experience through animation. Brian Cox's turn as Santa adds a delightful touch, contrasting sharply with his usual serious roles. The film's intertwining stories and comedic elements look set to captivate viewers young and old. However, given the multiple plotlines, there's a risk of the film feeling too packed for its runtime. Still, the combination of Curtis' writing and Otto's animation expertise may offer a refreshing take on holiday storytelling.

Do you think That Christmas will become a new holiday classic? What elements do you think are essential for a great Christmas movie?
