He finds his father, who is a workaholic publisher of children's books with a place on Santa's naughty list.

Buddy takes it upon himself to win over his family, realize his destiny, and ultimately save Christmas for New York and the world. Directed by Jon Favreau.

"Good Night, and Good Luck" trailer
In a nation terrorized by its own government, one man dared to tell the truth. The year is 1953, television is still in its infancy and the esteemed broadcast journalist, Edward R. Murrow (David Strathairn), anchors the popular news documentary show, See it Now, on CBS. Murrow, alongside producer Fred Friendly (George Clooney), oversees a show that reports on the news items of the day.
A powerful figure at the time is Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, who is on a singular crusade to rid the country of communists. His relentless pursuit of anyone he feels may have connections to the Communist party has allowed a sense of paranoia to seep into the public consciousness. Such is the reach of his power that people from the armed services to the creative community are forced to quit their jobs and go into exile based on his attacks.
Edward R. Murrow dares to question Senator McCarthy and his agenda and becomes a target of the Senator himself. Undeterred, the pioneering journalist continues to openly criticize and confront Senator McCarthy on his show and the public's opinion of the Senator finally begins to waiver. Directed by George Clooney. Also starring Patricia Clarkson, Robert Downey Jr., Frank Langella and Jeff Daniels.
