Watch The Wizard’s Christmas

In the animated movie The Wizard’s Christmas (2014), directed by Colin Curwen-Bingley, the story follows the adventure of young orphan boy, named Nicholas, who is transported to a magical world called Elfidia. The movie stars talented actors such as Jason Cermak, who brings to life the iconic wizard Astoroth, Riah Fielding-Walters who plays Nicholas, and James D. Hopkin as the evil Frost Wizards.

The story begins on Christmas Eve when Nicholas, who is feeling sad and lonely after losing his parents, finds a mysterious gift under the tree. When Nicholas opens it, he is transported to Elfidia, a wondrous world full of talking animals, magical creatures, and soaring landscapes. The world is ruled by the great wizard Astoroth, who is witness to the events of a catastrophic war that occurred centuries before. The war was fought against the evil Frost Wizards, and it ended up with the disappearance of the magical elves who used to reside in the land.

Nicholas is shocked and amazed by this new world that seems so different than the world he knows. He meets a range of magical animals including a friendly reindeer named Rodney, who accompanies him on his quest to find his way back home. Throughout the journey, Nicholas also makes friends with other animals like Pogo, a shape-shifting frog, and a brave mouse named Pan.

As Nicholas tries to find his way back home, he learns that the Frost Wizards are once again trying to take over the land of Elfidia. Along with his new friends, Nicholas, with the help of Astoroth, must brace themselves against the wizards and save the kingdom from destruction. They go on a journey to find a magical crystal that is capable of destroying the Frost Wizard's fortress. Along the way, they have to face a series of challenges and overcome obstacles that stand in their way.

One of the strongest points of The Wizard’s Christmas is its beautiful animation. The filmmakers meticulously crafted the stunning landscapes, rich in color and detail, that help transport the viewer into the magical world of Elfidia. The characters are beautifully designed with great detailing paid to the elves, animals, and their different abilities. The enchanting music that accompanies each scene enhances the magical effect, adding a further layer of depth to the film.

The other strength of this movie is its message. It’s a story of bravery, friendship, and the power of hope. The story reminds us that we are all capable of doing great things and that even in the darkest of times, one should have faith in the good outcome. One of the themes that stand out is the importance of family. Nicholas found a new family in the world of Elfidia, and he learned how precious family is. Astoroth played the father figure in Nicholas' life, providing all the guidance and teaching him the useful lessons of life.
