Fun family DVDs for the Holidays!

“Saving Santa” (BR/DVD Combo SRP $29.99; DVD SRP $21.98)

An upbeat tale of the ultimate holiday rush, “Saving Santa” starts at the top – the top of the North Pole, that is – where Bernard (Martin Freeman), a low-ranking Elf, dreams of one day joining Santa’s elite team of great inventors, the very elves who make the magic of Christmas possible! But when one of Bernard’s wacky inventions accidentally reveals the secret location of Santa’s workshop to an eccentric billionaire scoundrel (Tim Curry), Santa (Tim Conway) and Christmas itself are in jeopardy. It’s up to Bernard to time-travel (again and again) to get Santa home in time for Christmas! In addition to its collection of top talent and non-stop, action-packed entertainment, “Saving Santa” features must-see bonus content, including the animated music video for “Some Kind of Miracle” sung by Ashley Tisdale (voice of Shiny), “behind-the scenes” voice recording sessions with the film’s talent and a special “Why Saving Santa?” featurette!

“Chief Wilson” (SRP $14.98)

Preschoolers will embark on trainloads of stimulating and engaging escapades alongside Wilson and the whole Chuggington crew with the DVD release of “Chief Wilson”! In six exciting adventures, Wilson competes to be Chugger of the Year, attracts unwelcome magnetic powers and takes over Mtambo’s tours – leading a wild and crazy journey through Safari Park!
