Spike is a French Christmas short film. It was released on December 26, 2008 and it aired on CBBC in the UK.
In a 2012 interview with TAT Productions website, Alaux and Tosti stated that Spike 3 was in the works. However, due to the ratings for Spike 2 not being high enough, production on it was abandoned.
Synopsis[]
The film centers on Spike, a young elf who has recently graduated from elf school and has gone to work at Santa's workshop, which hasn't had a new recruit in 25 years. He also befriends a penguin named Paco, who wishes to fly.
He volunteers to collect a sack containing letters to Santa. However, he ends up losing the sack, which ends up in a bank containing the fish reserve for Ping Ville, the city of penguins.
Spike, with the help of head elf Raymond, goes to get the sack back. However, that same night, two polar bears named Tony and Vito plan to rob the bank to steal the fish.
Upon breaking into the bank and taking the fish, Tony turns against Vito and leaves him trapped with Raymond. Spike pursues Tony, who flees with the fish on a hot air balloon.
With help from Paco, Spike manages to deflate the hot air balloon. Tony tries to run off, but is stopped by Vito, who managed to get out of the bank with Raymond.
Later, Santa congratulates Spike and Raymond on getting the sack and stopping Tony from stealing the fish. He then awards them with aiding him on his deliveries.
