''Elf Bowling the Movie: The Great North Pole Elf Strike'' (often referred to as just ''Elf Bowling: The Movie'') is a 2007 DirectToVideo AllCGCartoon that is loosely based on the series of ''VideoGame/ElfBowling'' {{freeware|Games}} games.
Long ago, SantaClaus (Creator/JoeAlaskey) was a pirate captain who took toys from the rich and secretly gave them to orphanages around the world. After a fight with his half-brother Dingle Kringle (Creator/TomKenny) left the both of them frozen in the ice, elves from the North Pole find their bodies. A worker elf named Lex mistakes Santa for someone meant to fulfill an elf prophecy to lead their kind and, after Santa accidentally creates the sport of Elf Bowling, the elves gladly accept him as their leader.
Centuries pass and Santa has become the Christmas figure he is known for today. When he forces his upper hand and makes his brother move out, Dingle hatches a plan to take Santa's title, kidnap the elves and move them to Fiji for his own nefarious purposes. Now Santa must find his brother and rescue his elves before Christmas is doomed.
A sequel to be titled ''Elf Bowling 2: The Great Halloween Pumpkin Heist'' was advertised at the movie's end, but was never made.

!!''Elf Bowling the Movie: The Great North Pole Elf Strike'' contains examples of:
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: According to this movie, Elf Bowling started when Santa accidentally knocked some elves down with a bowling ball, and they liked it for some reason. In the original game, Santa's bowling over the elves as revenge for them going on strike.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Santa is much more heroic in the film than the games.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Dingle is much more evil here.
* ArtisticLicenseGeography: There are [[EenieMeenieMinyMoai moai statues]] in Fiji. Moai are from Easter Island, not Fiji.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: There's a TimePassesMontage claiming that Santa and Dingle came to the North Pole in the 600s. However, the era seems far more similar to UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfPiracy.
* BigBad: Dingle, Santa's evil brother who wants to overthrow him.
* CainAndAbel: Santa is the good brother, Dingle is the evil, backstabbing one.
* DastardlyWhiplash: Dingle is a lanky man with a long, black mustache and a sinister cackle who [[CardCarryingVillain is very open about being evil]].

* MassHypnosis: After relocating to Fiji, Dingle brainwashes all the elves aside from Lex into making toys in a sweatshop.
* {{Mook}}: The penguins called the Imbeciles serves this function under the leadership of Dingle.

* VillainSong: Dingle gets two, "I Love a Mutiny" and "Slavery Makes the World Go Round".
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Santa's crew disappears entirely from the story after they make him and Dingle WalkThePlank. Initially Santa and Dingle try to get the elves to make them a ship to go after the mutineers, but Santa eventually abandons that plan, and the mutineers are never heard from again.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Dingle looks nothing like his in-game counterpart, which was just a [[ReusedCharacterDesign recolored Santa]], with no beard. Here, he looks much more like [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Waluigi]].
