The Naughty Nine Interview: Alberto Belli & Winslow Figley On Bringing Action Adventure To Christmas
The Naughty Nine is a blended genre holiday film that combines elements of a heist movie, a Western, and a superhero story while maintaining its integrity as a Christmas movie. Director Alberto Belli successfully balances the film's tone by creating a setting that feels Christmasy, caring about the characters' success, and incorporating action and adventure. Winslow Figley's charismatic portrayal of Andy, the leader of the heist team, brings charm and likability to a character who could otherwise be seen as a jerk.
The Naughty Nine follows Andy, a mischevious fifth grader who wakes up Christmas morning only to discover no presents from Santa, indicating he has been placed on the naughty list. Feeling unfairly judged, he puts together a heist team made up of others on the naughty list to steal the presents that they feel they are owed.

"Santa! We've got a situation!" Disney has revealed an official trailer for The Naughty Nine, a Christmas comedy streaming in November in time for the holidays. "Get ready for the heist! This year they're coming to Santa's town!" When Andy finds out he's on Santa's "naughty list" waking up on Christmas morning, he pulls together a group of "naughty list" kids to get the presents they think they deserve. They decide to head up to the North Pole to pull off a heist of some kind, putting together a team like Ocean's Eleven. Sounds like they're doing even naughtier things to get off the naughty list?
