Prep & Landing and Prep & Landing: Naughty vs. Nice



                 Prep & Landing and Prep & Landing: Naughty vs. Nice.

                       Prep & Landing: Operation: Secret Santa.


                                            Prep & Landing.


 Wayne, a Christmas elf, is part of an elite organization known as "Prep & 

Landing", whose job is to ready millions of homes around the world 

for Santa Claus's visit. After working with "Prep & Landing" for 227 

years, Wayne looks forward to getting promoted to director of the 

naughty list. Instead, his former partner and trainee, Peterson, gets the 

promotion, and Wayne is introduced to Lanny, a freshly graduated rookie 

whom Wayne has to also train. Wayne is still bitter about the promotion, 

and decides to slack off during a mission. He permits Lanny to do all of 

the work, which is disastrous. Meanwhile, Santa is informed mid-flight of 

a massive snow storm and that Wayne and Lanny haven't fully prepared 

the house yet. He is told to cancel the landing, which has never 

happened before; they promise to make it up for Timmy, a boy living at 

the house. Wayne and Lanny discover that the re-routing was a final 

decision, but after hearing Timmy thank them in his sleep, Wayne 

decides to fix it. He calls up Santa, telling him that he must land at 

Timmy's house. Wayne and Lanny then work together to land Santa 

safely on Timmy's roof. On Christmas morning, Santa shows Wayne that 

Timmy had a merry Christmas. Santa offers a promotion to Wayne as the 

director of the nice list, but he turns it down so he can work with Lanny.



                           Prep & Landing: Naughty vs. Nice.


The beginning of the special introduces the Coal Elf Brigade, a special 

unit of Christmas elves resembling coal miners that is responsible 

for delivering lumps of coal to naughty children. While seeming cruel to 

some, the brigade adds small, encouraging notes to the lumps such as 

"Try Harder next year," in an attempt to steer the children back to the 

nice list.

With the Big 2-5 fast approaching, Wayne and Lanny must race to 

recover classified North Pole technology that has fallen into the hands of 

hacker identified only as "jinglesmell1337." Desperate to prevent 

Christmas from descending into chaos, Wayne seeks out (at the 

insistence of Magee) the foremost Naughty Kid expert to aid in the 

mission, a bombastic member of the Coal Elf Brigade who also happens 

to be his estranged younger (but larger) brother, Noel.[2] Reluctant to 

take the extroverted Noel along with him, Wayne relents, and Noel joins 

the Prep & Landing team on the mission. During the trip, Noel and 

Wayne reminisce about their childhood, when they worked together far 

better than they do now. As the trio arrives at the hacker's house, 

Wayne sets off a booby trap, imperiling the entire team; Noel manages 

to defend himself, Wayne takes a particular beating from the trap's 

various mechanisms, and Lanny makes it into the hacker's room, only to 

accidentally "sparkle" himself and end up taken captive.

The hacker then reveals herself to be Grace Goodwin, whose sole 

mission is to get herself off the naughty list, believing that she had been 

set up by her toddler brother, Gabriel, who had destroyed her favorite 

toy and ruined her chances to ask Santa for a new one by his crying. 

After a somewhat intoxicated Lanny suggests using the "magic word" to 

get the password for the device that will get her off the list, she does 

just that: using the word "please" as the password, since genuinely 

naughty kids never say "please." At first, she appears successful in 

changing her status from naughty to nice, but the device malfunctions, 

threatening to place the entire planet on the naughty list unless she and 

the team can pull off a risky operation to fix the problem.

Meanwhile, Wayne is particularly bitter at being "shown up" by his 

younger brother, prompting a fight in the street in front of Grace's house 

in which Wayne wishes he never had a brother. Shocked at his 

statement, Noel (who always idolized Wayne growing up) asks Wayne to 

say he didn't mean it, then throws what he had intended to give Wayne 

as a Christmas present at him. The gift—a toy sled that Wayne had 

wanted as a boy but was never able to get—prompts Wayne to reconcile 

with Noel and carry out the mission. Grace, watching the whole 

argument as it unfolds, learns a powerful lesson and a newfound 

appreciation for her younger brother.

The next morning, the scene at the Goodwin house shows Gabriel giving 

Grace her new Christmas present, a replacement toy for the one he had 

destroyed a year prior. Meanwhile, back at the North Pole, Wayne and 

Noel both win the title of "Elves of the Year" for their efforts and 

cooperation (although the headline of the local paper misprints Wayne's 

name as "Dwayne").



                                  Operation: Secret Santa.


Wayne and Lanny, now partners, are called by Magee to meet with a 

secret contact – Mrs. Claus, who sends them on a new mission to 

retrieve a box from Santa's secret workshop. Later they sneak into 

Santa's office while he is asleep, using their high tech equipment from 

the previous film. Lanny's expertise at dressing the tree enables them to 

enter the hidden workshop where they recover the box and escape just 

in time. Mrs. Claus reveals the contents of the box to be the last part of 

the first toy that Santa ever made, and gives the complete toy (a wooden 

duck on wheels) back to him as his Christmas Present.


This is a series that gets better every time I watch them. My hope is that

they make another one cause they are so good, the animation is top 

notch, so if anyone from Disney read this please make another one 

pretty please. The chances of them reading this is 0% but a man can 

dream am I right. please watch these when they re on T.V. or 

DVD, online, Disney plus has them so after your done watching 

The Mandalorian series look them up and watch them I guarantee

you will love them just as much as I do.
