Wayne, a Christmas elf, has been part of the elite organization known as "Prep & Landing", whose job is to ready millions of homes around the world for Santa Claus's visit, for 227 years and is looking forward to getting promoted. Instead, his former partner and trainee, Peterson, gets the promotion, and Wayne is introduced to Lanny, a rookie whom Wayne has to also train. Wayne, still bitter about the promotion, decides to slack off during a mission and lets 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, but he turns it down so he can work with Lanny.

Now, with that out of the way, let me tell you, Prep & Langing is one hilarious little cartoon. It is chock full of in-jokes and gags that kids will find funny, but parents will also enjoy. More than once this animated tale had me rolling on the floor laughing my ass off. I'm making this a permanent part of my holiday watch list.

To make the DVD release even better, Disney included two shorter films, Tiny's BIG Adventure and Operation: Secret Santa, both of which are also a laugh riot. And if that wasn't enough, they also included a number of "training films" that members of the Prep & Landing team have to watch at the Kringle Academy.

All in all, Prep & Landing on DVD is totally worth buying, and with Disney's patented Fast Play, it means you can put it in for the kids and it will play everything on the disc without stopping, and it'll repeat when it's done.
