Disney has not let its elves rest this year, and now as Christmas draws near, (or half way through if you are in a Walmart) we get a look at Disney’s exclusive animated CG special for ABC called Prep and Landing.
I know its not a movie, but its a special TV event - so lets think of it like a mini TV movie! Just watch the Trailer…
I am just in love with Disney’s latest TV Christmas special offering. Mostly because it seems to have a lot of clever humour in it, but also because aside from being a Disney animated Christmas special made only for TV, it captures a lot of the feel of those old stop motion styling.
Christmas of my youth was always warmed by the onslaught of TV specials that we would scour the TV listings and plot out our evenings to watch. Now collected mostly on DVD the ones I never missed were the Classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas and the 1964 Rankin/Bass stop motion Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!
This may not make instant classic status, but it looks like a hell of a lot of fun!

If I’m home in from of the TV when this comes on I will hella watch this, purely for nostalgic sake. It will probably be terrible, but it is what it is.
Last year, I don’t remember if it was Disney/ABC or what (might’ve been NBC) but one of them had a new Muppets Xmas special and also a CG animated Xmas special (with the voice of Danny Devito) and they were both beyond horrible! I’m talking horrendous, especially the Danny Devito one.
Nothing can beat stop-motion Rudolph!
