Netflix is happy to announce that, the ‘Perfect’ singer will return with a melancholic release “Under The Tree” for the animated movie of Simon Otto, ‘That Christmas’.
The director of “How to Train Your Dragon” trilogy Simon Otto will soon be back with a Netflix release. In this movie, you will get to see an ensemble cast including, Brian Cox as Santa, Fiona Shaw (Ms. Trapper), Jodie Whittaker (Mrs. Williams), and Bill Nighy (Bill). Ed Sheeran promises “Under The Tree” for this highly anticipated movie, set to release on the 6th of December, 2024. The song is written by Richard Curtis and Peter Souter.
“I’ve been mates with Richard Curtis for years, and we’ve done a load of fun work for charity, and then both were heavily involved in the movie yesterday. He came to me two years ago to play me the rough of That Christmas,” Ed Sheeran added, “It was just sketches and voices, but it blew me away. So emotional, yet so heartwarmingly funny, like all Richard Curtis movies. I find since having kids, there’s a real lack of great animated children’s Christmas movies, so I thought this was such an amazing thing to make and put into the world.”

“The scene that we wrote this song for is so heartbreaking, but so real for many people at Christmas spending it without the ones they love, for so many reasons. I got to work with my older brother on this which is such a rarity and a gift to work so closely with my only sibling, it felt so good to create something my children would watch, with their uncle, based in the country they live in,” he continued, “I find it mad that there isn’t more animated Christmas films for kids, but this is going to become a holiday staple, at least in our household. Hope everyone loves it and enjoys the song, we had such a great time creating it. x”
The director of the movie, Simon Otto said, “I’m beside myself for finally being able to talk about this small Christmas miracle that had landed in our film’s stocking. An original song by Ed Sheeran. Ed’s song inspired us to shape the key emotional moment in the film in a different way and it allowed us to interconnect the storylines in a way we couldn’t see before.” He added, “The song has become the heart of the film ever since and it motivated us artists to bring our best and live up to the beauty and honesty it brings to the film. I’ll be forever grateful to Ed for gifting us with such an honest and beautiful piece.”
