‘Noelle’ Preview
Noelle is one of the first original properties that is going to be available on Disney Plus. It stars Kendrick as Kris Kringle’s daughter, Noelle, who wishes she could be as important as her brother Nick (Hader), who will take over for their father this Christmas. When Nick starts to crumble under the holiday pressure, Noelle suggests he take a short vacation — but then he doesn’t come back. So she must find her brother and bring him home in time to save Christmas.
It co-stars Billy Eichner as Gabe Kringle, a cousin to Noelle and Nick, Julie Hagerty as their mother, Mrs. Claus, and Shirley MacLaine, Ron Funches, Michael Gross, and Billy Griffith as Santa’s elves. There is also a delightful group of Christmas carolers who act as a sort of Greek chorus, narrating all the hilarious twists and turns.
At D23, Disney’s biennial exposition event, Kendrick told Flickering Myth that she has “always wanted to do a Christmas movie,” but it’s especially “amazing” doing one for Disney.
“It isn’t just like a romantic comedy that takes place at Christmas,” says Kendrick. “We’re in the North Pole and Santa is real and the sleigh is real and we had scenes in the toy shop. You feel like such a kid on set, it’s so amazing.”
Co-star Eichner adds, “It’s very magical. People love [Christmas movies], there’s such a great tradition of Christmas films and it’s really amazing to be a part of one, especially one that has Disney on it, that just adds to the magic of it. It was just really cool.”
Noelle is available to stream on Disney Plus Tuesday, Nov. 12.
