Disney In The House: Christmas

Disney In The House: Christmas is a 2017 American live-action/animated holiday film produced by Walt Disney Wonder Studios, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The sequel to Disney In The House: 4th Of July and the third film in the studio's classic Disney In The House franchise, the film was directed by Klay Hall from a screenplay by Joe Ansolabehere, Jill E, Blotevogel, and Kevin Hopps. Returning cast members Sarah Silverman, Ginnifer Goodwin, Ed O'Neill, Tom Hanks, Frank Welker, Michael J. Fox, and Owen Laramore are joined by Mckenna Grace, Jason Marsden, Bill Murray, Jerry Stiller, Martin Short, and Natalie Portman. It was also the fifth and final theatrical Walt Disney Wonder Studios film to be co-produced by Disneytoon Studios, which folded in 2018. The music for the film was composed by Harry Gregson-Williams.

Disney In The House: Christmas was released theatrically in the United States on December 26, 2017, to mixed reviews from critics, mostly criticizing the screenplay and facial look on Santa's reindeer while the musical score, humor, visual styles, and performances (particulary Silverman, Grace, and Stiller) were favorably praised. The film has grossed merely $159 million worldwide against its $133 million budget, causing it to become Walt Disney Wonder Studios' first box office bomb.

A sequel, Disney In The House: Wild Wild West, was released on December 25, 2018, which was better received than Disney In The House: Christmas.

Plot
Vanellope von Schweetz is hosting a Christmas party. On December 1, Woody tumbles on a snow hill, accidentally dragging his friends with him, and they crash into a snow bank.

That night, Santa Claus flies by, but crash-lands. Vanellope, Judy, and Hank recover Santa, but he asks them who Santa is, confusing them because he has amnesia. As a result, the others worry that Christmas could be permanently cancelled. With encouragement from Frosty The Snowman, Vanellope volunteers to deliver the presents, much to their excitement.

Vanellope and Frosty are interrupted by a heated argument between Rudolph and Donner. Vanellope and Frosty convince them that it is Christmas, the season of giving. They refuse to help, as they take orders from no other than Santa, and they leave Rudolph. Rudolph decides to take Vanellope and Frosty to deliver the gifts. Before they take off, they are interrupted by a young 6-year-old named Cindy Miller, who befriends Vanellope and asks if she can come, to which Vanellope excitedly agrees.

Vanellope, Cindy, Rudolph, and Frosty fly to a small house in a small town in Alaska. Frosty attempts to deliver the first gift, but accidentally gets stuck. Vanellope and Cindy put the present under the tree, but the alarm sounds off. The four narrowly escape before crashing into an apartment of a girl who refers to them as Santa's helpers. She gives them cookies and wishes them Merry Christmas.

Back in Disneyville, Cindy's parents, Dan and Cass, feel worried about their daughter's safety. Judy explains to them that Cindy has gone with Vanellope. They all concoct a plan to keep them safe once they arrive. After successfully delivering the presents, Vanellope, Cindy, Rudolph, and Frosty discover that there is one present left. Suddenly, jackals chase them throughout the snowy forest, until Rudolph flies away, but they crash. Brokenhearted, Cindy tearfully blames herself and throws the last present, touching Vanellope's heart.

Vanellope, Frosty, and Rudolph recover the present. Once they deliver the gift, Vanellope notices the sleigh falling over the edge and rushes to save it. After witnessing this, Cindy apologizes to Vanellope and helps her save the sleigh. Vanellope, Cindy, Frosty, and Rudolph return to Disneyville and sled down the snowy mountains to the Disney Neighborhood.

Vanellope tries to fly towards it, but the sparkle tank runs out. Cindy feels like they could crash, but Vanellope reassures her that there is no sad faces on Christmas. Rudolph saves them by landing on his hooves. Unable to slow down, the four reach the Disney Neighborhood. Judy and Cass try to slow them down by putting Christmas lights, but the sleigh is still going too fast. They accidentally bump into Santa, restoring his memory. Dan successfully leaps out in front of the sleigh to slow it down. Cindy reunites with her parents, and Vanellope reunites with Judy, Hank, and Woody. Donner sees this and assumes that Rudolph has stolen the sleigh for a joyride to ruin Christmas, but Cindy comforts him by explaining that they should not fight. Donner and the other reindeer finally accept Rudolph as their friend.

After Santa and Frosty depart with the reindeer, Cindy meets Judy, Hank, Woody, and Iggy, and kisses Vanellope in the cheek, telling her that her cheek is warm. Vanellope and Cindy hold hands and sing a Christmas carol, along with Judy, Hank, Woody, Lawrence, Mr. Ziploc, Iggy, Dan, Cass. The Christmas party is saved, and Vanellope announces the grand opening of a new cafe. Vanellope carves the roast beast and hugs Cindy. The film ends with the camera backing from Disneyville, with Vanellope saying "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.", and with Santa shouting "Ho, ho, ho!".
