Once Upon A Christmas Village's Blurbs |
About me:
In this romantic musical animated comedy, Santa Claus - who is having worst night ever - has a near miss with Air Force One and loses his magical pocket watch. The watch falls to earth, through a chimney, and lands in a Christmas tree. Under the tree is a beautiful stained glass village populated by by a whole cast of happy village characters. The magic of the watch brings to life these plastic toys as we meet the lovers, Troy and Noel. Then, when an unexpected toy arrives (Dragosaurus) and wreaks havoc in the village, Troy is accidentally taken by train to the back of the tree.
At the dark side of the tree where nobody decorates lies a hidden gift, Sir Evil Medieval, and his castle. Troy learns that Sir Evil and his henchmen are going to melt the village people in his Suzy Bake-Set (TM) to mold them into his plastic army. Troy returns to warn the villagers, only to be captured by Sir Evil.
Will Troy eventually defeat the evil villain and be rewarded with a kiss by Noel, igniting the spirit of Christmas with love's first kiss? Will Santa find his lost watch?
