DESCRIPTION:
(from Nickelodeon's press release, November 2016) Nickelodeon is giving audiences a gift this holiday season with the debut of Albert, an original animated TV movie about a tiny Douglas fir tree who goes on a journey to become the city's most famous Christmas tree ever. Premiering Friday, Dec. 9, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT), the one-hour, CG-animated holiday tale stars the comedic voice talent of Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live) in the title role and Sasheer Zamata (Saturday Night Live), Judah Friedlander (30 Rock) and Rob Riggle (21 Jump Street). "Albert is in the great tradition of classic heartwarming holiday stories, and we're thrilled that it is the first original animated TV movie Nickelodeon has ever made," said Michael Sammaciccia, Senior Vice President, Development and Production, Nickelodeon Original Movies. "Between the hilarious voice cast and the lush CG animation, Albert is a great movie for kids and families to enjoy this holiday season." Albert is the story of a tiny Douglas fir tree named Albert who has big dreams of becoming Empire City's most famous Christmas tree. When the search for this year's tree is announced, Albert believes he has found his calling and hits the road with his two best friends, Maisie (Zamata), the persistently positive palm tree, and Gene (Friedlander) the abrasive and blisteringly honest weed, to fulfill his destiny. With a few prickly situations along the way, and Cactus Pete (Riggle) out to stop him, Albert learns the true meaning of Christmas. The hour-long TV movie will also feature two original songs, "The Best Thing That Can Happen to Christmas" and "Christmasiest Christmas," performed by the voice cast."
