How the Toys Saved Christmas

How the Toys Saved Christmas (La freccia azzurra) is a 1996 Italian animated film directed by Enzo d'Alò, based on the book The Blue Arrow by Gianni Rodari.

The film was dubbed at CINAR's studios in 1997 and distributed by Miramax in the US. The English dub changes the film, which takes place at Epiphany in the original, to make it a Christmas movie. The Befana, the gift giver herself in the original film, is Santa's helper Granny Rose in the dub. A new musical soundtrack was also added.
