Henrik Martin Dahlsbakken's Panique à Noël (Hvis Ingen Går I Fella) is a Norwegian family comedy that combines CGI animation and live action. Written by Susanne Skogstad, this production for the whole family will be released in French theaters on December 3, 2025.
In a cozy country house, a family of mice is getting ready to celebrate Christmas in joy and tranquility. But their happiness is short-lived: a family of humans moves into the house to spend the holidays there. Determined to defend their home, the little mice devise a plan to scare away the intruders, unaware that their adversaries have no intention of being intimidated.
Thus begins a Christmas war as mischievous as it is comical, where traps, stratagems, and gags follow one another at a frantic pace. In this festive battle, neither humans nor mice are willing to give ground.
Directed by Henrik M. Dahlsbakken (Project Z, Gledelig jul), the film follows in the tradition of Scandinavian Christmas comedies, combining family humor and polished aesthetics. Voiced by Flo Fagerli, Sara Khorami, and Pål Sverre Valheim Hagen, Panique à Noël is aimed at children aged six and up and celebrates the holiday spirit through a fable full of energy and tenderness.
The tone remains light and accessible, somewhere between Home Alone and Nordic animal tales. Ideal for a family outing during the winter holidays.
