Prep & Landing

Prep & Landing

20090hr 22min

When a weary veteran member of Santa’s elite Prep & Landing team is assigned an eager new partner, the unlikely duo must work together to prepare homes around the world for the big night. The veteran, set in his efficient routines, finds his carefully ordered world upended by a rookie whose boundless enthusiasm seems at odds with the job’s stealth and precision. As they race through chimneys and rooftops, the contrast between seasoned skill and fresh optimism creates both comedy and heart.

Through a series of clever missions and holiday mishaps, the rookie’s earnest belief in the magic of Christmas slowly chips away at the veteran’s cynicism. Their missions reveal that being an elf in this covert unit is not just about logistics and technology, but about the small acts that keep the spirit of the season alive. Along the way they encounter unexpected obstacles, clever gadgets, and the pressure of living up to Santa’s high standards.

Ultimately, the story becomes a warm celebration of teamwork, tradition, and rediscovering wonder. With charming animation and playful wit, the film balances brisk adventure with genuine emotion, showing how a fresh perspective can remind even the most jaded elf why their work matters. It’s a festive, family-friendly short that underscores the importance of belief, camaraderie, and the little details that make the holidays special.
