So, now that we've peaking of
shorts where elves get Christmas done, try Prep & Landing (2009) from our
corporate overlords, Disney. Lasseter produces the film and the music is by Michael Giacchino,
yes, the Incredibles and Rogue One Giacchino, and features the most clever and
subtle adult jokes Disney has ever created. Elves stalk into the homes ala
Splinter Cell or Metal Gear and prepare for the gifts Santa is leaving and the
reindeer land an insanely fast sleigh. The story is predictable but the
setting and idea is unique, besides the next entry, and doesn’t overstay its
welcome. It uses a short format because the story works better for it, and I’m
glad they kept it that way. There are 3 episodes, two on their own DVD, one on
the Disney Shorts Collection 2, which also features the Matchstick girl if you
want something beautiful and depressing.
