"Hey, boss! Are we taking the pneumatic?"
"Of course we're taking the pneumatic! It's the only way to get to the square on time, and time is money!"

— The elves discussing whether to take the pneumatic or not.

The pneumatic is a very fast form of transportation which the elves use to travel around the North Pole.

Role in the film[]

In the film, while lost in the North Pole, Hero Boy, Hero Girl, and Billy arrive at the surveillance room where they see a few elves doing last minute work. After they finish, they take the pneumatic to the Square with Elf General saying it is the quickest way. The children take the pneumatic too, but end up at the wrapping hall instead.
