Santa Buddies: The Legend of Santa Paws

---

If the great Christmas icicle

continues to melt at this rate,

Christmas magic

stored in the ice crystal will vanish.

These days, children and their pups

just don't believe like they used to.

Their focus is on themselves, instead

of on giving to others less fortunate.

If they don't understand

the true meaning of Christmas,

the icicle has no chance.

And I'm afraid that's something

we just can't teach.

Soon it will be

Puppy Paws' responsibility

to show the next generation

the importance of Christmas spirit.

Wa-hoo! Wa-hoo!

Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer!

Now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! On, Cupid!

On, Donner and Blitzen!

That was fun. Let's do it again.

I'm afraid

we're all too tired now, Puppy Paws.

Comet, please?

Look, we have a lot of work to do today.

- Like what?

- Well, for one thing,

we have to get ready for Christmas Eve.

You know,

the most important night of the year?

Fine. I'll go find some fun on my own.

Oh, that pup sure has a lot to learn

before he takes the reins

and is responsible for Christmas.

Jingle bells ring

Jingle bells ring

Yippee! Yippee!

La, la, la, la

Perfect.

Three trucks done!

- Here come more toys.

- I got another load.

All packed and ready to go!

Wagon, coming through, people!

All right! This'll be good.

There's the bell, let's work until

we grant each Christmas wish

Hurry up and fill the sleigh

With the best things on your list, hey!

There's the bell, let's work until

we grant each Christmas wish

We'll hurry up and fill the sleigh

with the best things on your list

Santa makes it fun

He's always on the go

You'll know it's him

When the sleigh bells ring

And you hear "ho, ho, ho"

Ho!

Jingle bells ring

Jingle bells ring

There's the bell, let's work until

we grant each Christmas wish

Hurry up and fill the sleigh

with the best things on your list

Hey!

- It's going fast.

- Grab those...

Stop this! Stop... Ah!

- Oh, no.

- What's going on? It's chaos!

Come on.

Yippee!

- Grab that...

- Uh-oh. This is getting out of control.

Oh!

Watch out!

- I checked it a couple minutes ago.

- What do you mean?

Puppy Paws!

Son, I am very disappointed in you.

You disrupted the workshop

and wasted a whole day of work.

The elves are very upset.

They're now another day behind schedule.

You know how hard they work

getting ready.

I didn't realize

it would cause such havoc.

I just wanted to have some fun.

Maybe you should be thinking

about how important Christmas is

to children and puppies

all around the world.

It's our responsibility

to deliver good puppies the gift

they've wished for the entire year.

You mean it's your responsibility.

I just want to be an ordinary puppy.

You're grounded until further notice.

That means no playing fetch

with the elves

and no flying with the reindeer.

I wish Christmas would just go away.

Puppy Paws!

What a horrible thing to say!

Do you think I was too strict with him?

Maybe just a smidgen, but...

...I'm sure he'll get over it.

Puppy Paws has to understand,

he's the future of Christmas.

Oh, Christmas tree

Oh, Christmas tree

How steadfast are your branches

Your boughs are green in summertime

And through the snows of wintertime

Oh, Christmas tree

Oh, Christmas tree...

You pups want to sing along?

Yo, I don't sing. I rap.

Why do we even have to come here?

It's a Christmas tradition.

I've been watching the lighting of the

tree since I was a pup like you Buddies.

You're quiet this evening, Budderball.

I hadn't even

heard your stomach grumble.

Anything the matter?

I'm still in the doghouse

for eating the Thanksgiving turkey.

Are you worried you might be

on Santa Paws' naughty list?

Pshaw! Santa Paws is just Dad

dressed up in a red and white suit.

That's all, dawg.

They just use it so we behave all year.

Is that right, B-Dawg?

Let's look at the evidence,

Deputy Sniffer.

If the jolly dude came down the chimney,

wouldn't there be a lot of soot?

I'm not really buying the whole

"Santa Paws" thing, either,

but I sure do love all the presents.

Your material desires

are those of the wanting mind.

Enough is never enough.

Buddha's right, Buddies.

Getting material things

isn't what Christmas is all about.

Christmas spirit is about the unselfish

spreading of love and kindness.

There are plenty of lonely puppies

without families

or children to love them.

Your boughs can teach a lesson

Hello, everybody.

Thank you for coming down

to the annual lighting

of the Fernfield Christmas tree.

Not quite the turnout we expected.

Three...

...two... one!

Buddies, it's Mr. Cruge,

the dog catcher.

Oh, jiminy Christmas!

It's probably just a faulty bulb.

Oh...

Phew!

Oh, my!

Thank you, Lord,

for this blessing. Amen.

Thought you could

run wild in the streets?

Not on my watch you don't.

I don't wanna be

responsible for Christmas.

I just wanna be an ordinary puppy.

I wish Christmas would just disappear.

The naughty book

gets thicker every year.

We're just on the pups.

If Puppy Paws doesn't understand

the true meaning of Christmas,

- how could we expect other puppies to?

- Mm-hm.

"Bubba.

Offense:
destruction of property.

Chewing shoes, 17 cases".

Oh, my. That is naughty, all right.

"Budderball. Offense: gluttony.

Eating the Thanksgiving turkey".

Whoa!

Budderball!

Big appetite for a pup.

I have the feeling little Budderball's

tummy always leads to naughtiness.

Santa Paws, Claus, we got the mail truck

ready for a systems check.

Great, Eli.

We could use a break from this.

Haven't even checked the list twice

and we're already tired.

Hm.

Budderball. One of the five Air Buddies.

He has three brothers,

Mudbud, B-Dawg, Buddha,

and a little sis, Rosebud.

They live in Fernfield, Washington,

each with their own families.

Regular, ordinary, fun-loving pups.

They sound perfect!

Hey, Eugene!

OK. The sooner you get going,

the better.

We've got

a lot of pickups scheduled.

Over 1,000 cities and towns.

Eli, sir, she's all yours.

Confirming. The route is programmed.

OK, let's run

the diagnostic tests. New Delhi.

Oh, I am liking this very, very much.

Florence.

All seems in the working order,

Santy Claus.

You give me the clearance,

I'm ready to roll.

That's an all-clear from the North Pole.

Well, here I go.

Time to hitch a ride to Fernfield.

Good work, team.

We're right on schedule.

Jingle all the way, Eli.

Bye!

Have a safe trip.

Holding up all right?

Good, good...

Ah, good work.

Oh, no!

I don't like the look of this one bit.

It's happening fast.

The magic of Christmas

is fading away, right before our eyes.

"Fernfield:

Where everything is possible".

My kind of place.

Holy Christmas spirit.

We're almost out of power.

Oh!

It looks to me like we've tapped

into all the additional power we've got.

Oh, my. Another leak.

I hate to even say it, but I think

the North Pole is starting to melt.

Any thoughts, Eddy?

Well, sir, spirit is down, but there
