Walt Disney Pictures Presents

THE SEARCH FOR SANTA PAWS

ALL NEW AND EXCITING ADVENTURE PREMIERES EXCLUSIVELY
ON DISNEY BLU-RAY AND DVD ON 15TH NOVEMBER 2010

This Christmas, Walt Disney Pictures invites you to cuddle up in front of the fire with the cutest pooch in town, as Santa Paws is unleashed as the star of his very own festive movie.

As the most magical time of the year approaches, the creators of Santa Buddies present The Search for Santa Paws, an enchanting fairytale which follows our favourite canine Christmas helper as he takes to the streets of New York in a bid to save Christmas.

When Santa Claus' 1600th birthday present - a white, fluffy stuffed toy puppy - is brought to life as Santa Paws by the Great Christmas Icicle, the adventures quickly ensue. But things go terribly wrong when Claus loses his magic crystal, which powers his Christmas spirit and ability to be Santa. As a result, Claus loses his memory and becomes mortal.

Santa Paws must find Claus and the crystal in a bid to save the children from a world without Santa Claus, whilst in the meantime keeping the Christmas spirit alive for orphans Quinn (Kaitlyn Maher - America's Got Talent) and Will (Madison Pettis - Hannah Montana, The Game Plan), whose greatest wish is to be part of a family.

Santa Paws, with the help on his friends, is on a puppy mission to save the day. He is joined by Rasta, a jammin' dreadlocked Jamaican Puli; a street smart Bulldog pup named T-Dog; Haggis, a wise-beyond-his-years Scottie as well as old favourite Eddie from last year's Christmas smash hit Santa Buddies.

With puppies, presents and paw-prints,The Search for Santa Paws is an uplifting adventure with a stocking full of Christmas cheer and a merry sprinkling of goodwill.

The Search For Santa Paws is available exclusively on Disney Blu-ray and DVD from 15th November 2010.
