Right now. We'll stop at the next gas station.

Time to go small to get cool. Ok. Recalibrate the freon
Evaporation cycle, expand the expansion valves, and realign these condenser cords.

Cube city. [sputtering] this doesn't look good.

>> snow? Uhh! >> which means one thing--
Snowballs! [laughter] >> snow angel.
>> ha ha! Now this is what i call chilling out.
>> i wonder where they keep the snow-making machines. [laughter]
I am warning you. >> [gasp] >> you're messing with an old
Pro. [laughter] >> gotta admit.
They're using some fancy special effects to keep us from seeing the village from outside.
>> the whole town must be air conditioned. >> are those...
>> elves? Yeah, i think so. >> [chuckle]
I wonder where they keep their reindeer around here. >> uh, right here.
[fanfare plays] >> ooh! >> you know, being here makes me
Realize that the 3 of us have never spent a christmas all together.
>> huh. You're right. >> our families do get pretty
Busy that time of year. I mean, with all the holiday parties.
Having to shop till you drop. Vacations, you know? >> yeah, well, maybe that'll
Change one of these years so we can all spend a nice, relaxing holiday together.
>> uh... Yeah. Well, i'm gonna go hit the
Bobsled ride. >> ice skating for me. >> heh heh heh.
Well, so much for that ever happening. >> yeah!
Whoo-hoo! Ha ha ha! Ho ho!
>> the laugh is not quite right, and it appears he's decided to shave, but it looks like it will
Be a perfectly perfect fit. >> you must come with us. >> oh, i--i'm sorry.
I didn't see anybody around. Who can i pay for the cocoa? >> i'm mr. Jingles.
I want to welcome you to holiday village. I'm so happy we finally have a
Chance to meet. >> well, nice place you have here.
>> thank you so much. I've been so worried it wouldn't meet with your approval.
>> my approval? >> why, of course, mr. Claus. Is it ok if i call you santa?
>> heh heh heh. I think you have me confused with someone else.
Say, you wouldn't know anyone around here who can fix an air conditioning unit.
We really need to get back on the road. >> oh, my gosh.
Good heavens, no. You can't go anywhere. You belong here.
I created holiday village just for you. There.
That's better. >> [grunting] >> we really need to find
Grandpa. >> why? He's used to not being with us
On christmas. Bet he's having fun. >> [grunting]
>> i'm so sorry about the joystick controller, but i thought you might have other
Chores to attend to. And i need to make sure you fulfill your responsibility to
Me first. Now, may i present your workshop, santa.
>> i am not santa. >> attention, my elves. I have the most wonderful
Surprise. >> [grunt] >> ooh, it's santa!
>> hooray! Hooray! >> as soon as my toys are perfect, you'll have gifts
Galore to deliver. Until then, just sit and relax. Oh, and i almost forgot.
Thank you so much for bringing those lovely children with you. I can always use more elves.
>> i, uh, don't think they want to sing christmas carols.
>> it's jingle's guards! You must skedaddle! >> uh, what-le?
>> it must mean run! >> whoa, mega weird. Ninja nutcrackers.
Well, it's time those wooden nutcrackers became firewood. Go, heatblast!
Aw, man! Cool! Peppermint.
Whoa! I've never accelerated on ice before.
>> really? Gee, you could've fooled me. >> ouch! Uhh!
>> [grunting] earth to xlr8. We don't have time for a
Snowball fight. >> i was thinking more like a snowball slaughterfest.
>> i never thought i'd say this to you, but good thinking. >> that was really spiffy!
>> spiffy? Skedaddle? Dude, don't you know english?
>> dude? >> do you work here? >> yes.
And if you don't leave now, you will fall under the curse of the village and become one of us as
Well. >> me? An elf?
Yeah, right. >> uh, ben? You might want to check out your
Ears. >> huh? Ooh...
Well, it looks like i'm not the only one. >> oh, i so can't go elf.
Pointy ears will never be in fashion. >> we need to get grandpa and
Go. >> that might not be possible. Mr. Jingles has him.
He believes your grandpa is santa claus. >> i know why you look so
Unhappy. You've had nothing to laugh about.
Here. Let me change that. >> stop.
No. Heh heh... No, not that. No.
Ha ha ha! Ho ho ho! Ho ho ho ho ho ho!
>> [cheering] >> ho ho ho ho ho! >> whoa.
What just happened? >> we're running out of time. If you don't leave soon, you'll
Be stuck here forever! >> not without grandpa. >> skedaddle!
>> uhh! >> quick, in here! >> who's that?
>> mr. Jingles. >> and that's you. When was that taken?
>> why, just a few days ago. >> in what year? >> 1932, of course.
[banging] follow me. >> aah!
Uhh! >> how do we get our grandpa back?
>> first, you'd have to destroy the jingilator, mr. Jingles' machine.
It's what makes everything here magical. But the entrance to his workshop
Is guarded. You won't be able to get in. >> oh, yeah?
Remember, you're a reindeer. Uh, he's from europe. >> the factory is several levels
Below. >> [snort] >> [gasp]
Mush! [train whistle blows] [whistle blows]
>> aah!
>> uhh! >> well, well. It looks like our new elves
Couldn't wait to get started. And, elsgood, you know how i frown upon my elves thinking for
Themselves. You're all well aware of our motto in holiday village.
>> a happy elf is a busy elf. >> grandpa. >> he must be controlling him.
>> i want my grandpa back. >> i wish i could oblige, but it wouldn't be polite to return a
Gift as special as mr. Claus. Now, put them on the assembly line.
[chiming] >> i'm spit up sally. Watch me spit up.
Spit up. Spit up. >> ugh! Ick!
>> how will santa ever be able to deliver this if it's not perfect?
My toys must be perfect. Everything must be perfect on christmas.
Perfect, perfect, perfect. >> that's the jingilator. Time is running out!
>> what we need is a distraction. >> [snorting]
[sniffing] [squealing] >> all i want for christmas are
4 big arms. Aw, man! Well, i guess if at first you
Don't succeed... >> [grunting] >> stop him!
>> uhh! Ben, look out! >> aah!
Whoa! Whoa! Aah!
Oh! Uhh! [video game music]
Uhh! Uh, the amplification of currents suggests a fission of
Unstable and undeterminable isotopes. Shutting down power source now.
Aah! >> aah! >> oh, yeah!
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. >> no!
I need to assure the elves santa is still ok. Wave to them.
>> way to get it done, ben. >> uh-oh. It's not working.
>> come here! >> if we destroyed the machine, why are we still elves?
[beeping] why is there still a curse? >> because now nobody will ever
Be able to experience the joy of christmas. You will all make me new toys.
More perfect toys. Without my perfect toys, what will santa do?
>> christmas isn't about giving the perfect toy. It's about the spirit in which
We give. Isn't that right, kids? >> yeah.
But i bet giving me a sumo slammer extreme slamdown would make you feel really good, huh,
Santa? Uhh! >> what my dorky cousin means is
Being together is what christmas is all about. Mr. Jingles, look at the kids
You've kept away from their families all these christmases. They need to go home.
>> well, even if i wanted to give away these toys, my reindeer can't fly anymore since
The jingilator is destroyed. >> who needs rudolph the red-nosed reindeer when you've
Got the stink the gassy alien? >> you adjust this dial to go wherever you want on earth.
>> so that's how he delivers it all in one night. >> come on.
Come on. We gotta go! >> christmas in summer?
Cool! [cheering] [chiming]
>> [gasp] midnight. I wonder if the curse is lifted.
Grandpa. You're back to being grandpa! >> and we're back to being
Normal. Snow machines. Guess holiday village is normal,
Too. >> holiday village is far from normal, young man.
It happens to be quite special. Did you know i've been coming here every year since 1932?
>> grandpa elsgood, can we go to the cocoa fountain? >> ha.
Skedaddle. I'll be right there, kids. >> yeah! All right!
>> elsgood? >> skedaddle? >> so, if we broke the curse,
Elsgood was never trapped here in the first place. >> but what about mr. Jingles?
>> this might be your answer. "holiday village: Founded by thomas jingles, 1928.
It's not what we give. It's the spirit in which it is given."
>> now, why does that sound familiar? >> hey, grandpa.
About us never celebrating christmas all together... >> yes, ben.
>> it's cooler doing it now. >> ben's right. But cool might be the wrong
Word. [laughter] >> ¶ o what fun it is to ride
