Wayne is an elf who has worked for 227 years as a member of the high tech team of elves from a unique called "Prep & Landing", who ensures that homes around the world are ready for Santa's arrival. Without this team, you'd be surprised at the things that could go wrong! But Wayne is upset when after all his hard work, he doesn't get the promotion he was waiting for - to become Director of Naughty List Intelligence. No, instead he feels he gets a slap in the face - he's partnered with a rookie names Lanny. In the true spirit of Murphy's Law (lol) everything starts to go wrong when Wayne slacks a little and threatens Christmas for kids everywhere. Can Wayne and Lanny work together and fix it all before it's too late?
We giggled our way through this movie over here! It has a short run time (it was originally in a half hour time slot last Christmas), so while the movie sounds like it's a full length, it's just the right length to bring in some Christmas laughs.
There are a few bonus features on the disc, including several "stocking stuffer shorts": "Tiny's Big Adventure" and "Operation Secret Santa". There are several "Prep & Landing Kringle Academy Training Videos" that are as funny as they sound: "Elfdate.com/The Fruitcake Factory/Spa Navidad", "Welcome To Kringle Academy", "Kringle Academy Equipment Training", and "Academy Do's and Don'ts".
And if you like hidden jokes, you have to watch this one! You'll even spot Mickey on the TV in one house. Don't forget that Prep & Landing qualifies as part of the Disney Movie Rewards program, so be sure to enter the code inside the box to get your reward points. The DVD also uses Disney's Fast Play, which is a navigation utility that automatically starts the disc as soon as it's put in the player and pretty much remembers your viewing preferences.
Prep & Landing is available on DVD now wherever DVD's are sold. Widescreen format, it is rated G and safe for all ages. The total running time is 22 minutes long (not including bonus materials). The suggested retail price is $19.99, but Amazon has it available for $13.49 as of this posting. (Netflix users: this title is not currently available, but check back to see if it is)
I received a copy of this DVD in order to share my thoughts on it. All opinions are my own.
