Disney unveils "magical" Christmas short film from Paddington in Peru director in exclusive first look

A brand-new short film is on its way to Disney Plus to help audiences get into the Christmas spirit for the upcoming festive season – and Radio Times can exclusively reveal a first-look poster.

The short is titled The Invisible Horse and is directed by Dougal Wilson, who previous helmed the third entry in the Paddington series, Paddington in Peru.

In the poster, which you can see below, we see a young boy sitting on what appears to be a horseless saddle against a snowy and very Christmassy-looking backdrop.

The official synopsis for the short reads: "Just when Jack begins to think he’s too old for Christmas, he ends up befriending an invisible creature that reminds him of what makes Christmas so magical."

It continues: "Directed by Dougal Wilson, the short follows Jack and his unlikely companion on a journey to rediscover the magic of the holidays."
