PLOT:
From http://elfontheshelf.com:
Nine-year-old Taylor McTuttle has reached a crossroads. Does he believe Santa Claus really knows who is naughty or nice? Does he even believe in Santa Claus anymore?
An Elf’s Story is the inspirational tale of Chippey, the young scout elf who is assigned by Santa to restore Taylor’s belief in Christmas magic. When the boy breaks the number one Elf on the Shelf rule, Chippey loses his Christmas magic; the entire McTuttle family loses its scout elf, and both Taylor and Chippey lose their self-respect. Through the power of love and forgiveness, both of them learn that true belief cannot be taught.
Destined to be a beloved family Christmas classic, An Elf’s Story is filled with fun, music and the timeless message that Christmas is something we carry in our hearts.

THE ELF ON THE SHELF: AN ELF'S STORY follows one of the many scout elves from the North Pole who helps Santa Claus determine who to put on the naughty and nice lists.

Why does EVERYTHING have to be computer animated now? Still, looks like a fun special!!
ReplyDeleteI hate the abundance of computer animation more than anybody, but this was a cute special, and I hope its on every year, so when I have kids it can be a tradition (along with the book and doll/action figure).
ReplyDeleteI just recently learned what is an elf on the shelf. Can't wait for this movie though, it looks so cute.
