Several Santa Clauses appearing in the film:
Grandpa: A traditional sleigh supporter. Due to modernization, he has become out of balance and has become a spitter who sees nothing pleasing to the eye.
Dad: The current Santa Claus, since everything is done by the team, his functionality has completely degraded and he is willing to show off. Basically, except for the symbolic meaning, it has no practical meaning, so it is habitual to develop the problem of shirking responsibility.
Steve: The CEO of the Arctic Command Center, the founder of modern gift delivery, basically maintains the perfect operation of the entire Christmas by himself. The real Santa hiding behind the scenes.
Arthur: Bad things, useless, unlucky, the culprit who has caused a lot of losses, the naive kid who can only make trouble.
In fact, just watching these few people know that for a cartoon, the protagonist is undoubtedly the fourth one. Because for animated movies, idiots save the world is an eternal truth.
The story is due to an accident. It seems that because Santa touched the organ, there is a possibility of awakening the child, causing the staff to touch the gift by mistake. In fact, Steve, as the commander of the monitoring center, has no direct responsibility, and he handled the awakening crisis very well. The sending of 20 gifts was successfully completed and was not discovered by humans. Then when the spacecraft returned to the voyage, the missing gift was discovered, and he refused to send a gift separately from the overall situation (the spaceship flying too long is dangerous, and the elves are too tired to make mistakes).
Then there is the journey of Arthur, who has always been pampered, and Grandsanta, who has always been dissatisfied with the modernization of Steve, for this child. Grandsanta's thinking is very similar to that of the stubborn old man, who has done all his life and thinks that it is the best, does not accept changes, and always wants to find opportunities to prove that he is right. And Arthur's heart is pure to the point of an idiot. In fact, the reason why he can grow purely inside is because he has a capable brother, so that he doesn't have to be pressured by the family business and live a silly life happily. That's why he thinks "no one can be less" without thinking, who? When? How?
Two people who stumbled all the way and a rookie packing spirit, an old elk. After almost hitting a tall building, almost being eaten by a lion, getting lost and finding the wrong door, after all the deer ran away, the sleigh was blown up, and attracted the attention of governments all over the world, the mission was finally successfully completed. Then Arthur became the next Santa Claus.
We can imagine that even if Arthur became Santa Claus, every Christmas after that, Steve would still be sitting in front of the big screen and beating Fang Qiu. Arthur just replaced the symbolic meaning of his father. And his innocence may even cause a greater danger of being discovered by humans.
So just like the ending of "The prince and princess live a happy life", "Arthur became Santa Claus". This is the end of the whole story. Please don't think about the rest of it anymore.
