December 7 - Prep and Landing

This is a cute modern christmas special that started life as a proposed theatrical short film. The idea was so neat, John Lassiter - Chief Creative Officer for Disney and Pixar and all around story wizard - gave the green light to make it a holiday special. He knew it could have an evergreen quality like Rudolph or Charlie Brown.

The show debuted to hi ratings and much acclaim in 2009 and thus sequels were in order. A Short - Operation Secret Santa in 2010 and another special - Naughty or Nice in 2011. The original is the best of the bunch but all the adventures with Wayne and Lanny thus far have been a lot of fun. The elf technology is on my list for Santa.
