Someone at Disney had a fun idea about Christmas elves. It had just enough charm to pique the interest, but too little depth or originality to make into a movie. And thus, Prep & Landing was born 😁
The result is looking a little visually dated, but the quirky charm and surprisingly solid humour still land perfectly well. I honestly thought this was going to be a complete dud; the kind of easy-animation, churn-it-out, direct-to-DVD nonsense that Disney has a tendency to use purely to scrape the last few dollars out of parents' wallets, but I was wrong.
It's not about to win any awards, but as a quick dose of Christmas spirit, it's enjoyable enough.
