Disney Animation is really coming back. In December 2009, they shall mainly be remebered for the smash hit The Princess and the Frog. But they will also have a mention for the clever Prep and Landing, the next great Christmas classic waiting in the wings.
In this special, Wayne (Dave Foley) is an elf who has done his job as a Prep and Landing elf too long. Sure he helps Santa bring toys by making sure houses are safe, but it's time for change. However, his partner gets a rpomotion that he wanted. Worse yet, he has a new peppy partner named Landy. Together, they encounter a new home that has a problem. A big problem...
Wayne is a fun character rist and foremost. He may be a jerk, but as Santa says at the end: 'Everyone slips on the naughty list very once and a while." Plus, the show is funny. The reindeer launch is a paeticular highlight since it plays like a rocket launch. The two main reinderr are also funny, espicially their reply on how they'll make it through a snowstorm: "By laughing all the way!"
The Prep and Landing missions are also creative. The Ginerbread controls really are fun to watch and all the elves working to get Santa to each house really makes your heart flutter.
Prep and Landing is wonderful and joins many other classics during Christmas. I have said it before, but it bears repeating: Disney is back and better than ever!
