    Wait... you mean they JUST released a brand new "Prep & Landing" film a COUPLE DAYS AGO!? I just happened to catch it on TV hours ago. I knew it looked new. But I had no idea it was THAT recent! And, okay, I didn't see the whole thing, but from what I did see, it was pretty interesting.

    The first f/o that I've had was probably Fix It Felix from the Disney movie "Wreck It Ralph". He looks and acts SLIGHTLY similar to Lanny from Prep & Landing, so yeah I might have a type?? 😭

    Before cancellation they tried to keep me on board with a list of all the good content they had coming up, like "A Very Jonas Christmas Movie", "Prep & Landing: The Snowball Protocol" and "Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember" which, frankly, did the opposite of what it was supposed to.

    I’ve watched all 4 Christmas specials of Prep & Landing (3 Christmas Specials and 1 short film) on Disney+. I’ve not watched any Prep & Landing specials until now. I remember seeing promos of them a long time ago. Wayne and Lanny are amazing characters.

    New Prep & Landing movie!!! (I’m such a sucker for logistics, especially around the holidays. I blame @miriamposner.com.)

    This is a pretty big nothing of a special. The plot is just Lanny & Wayne mess up a mission. They try to keep it a secret, but then they are called in by Santa for a secret meeting. Where Wayne then proceeds to ty and figure out what secret thing Santa has called him in to talk about, he then proceeds to talk about two missions that went bad, which he assumes are the reason he is there. Which is just lazy writing to cut to two different ~10 minutes shorts, both predictable, and boring.

    I’m commenting on Prep & Landing: Snowball Protocol here, though not adding it to the official count since it’s not a movie. Not sure how I feel about Santa using intimidation tactics on his employee or the simple gift of an office Christmas card - though it was accurately depicted. However, I do -

    Red One is the love child of Prep & Landing and Air Force One. It’s not bad, but if I’m going for a modern Christmas movie, Spirited is it. Two years in and I’m still quite infatuated. Spirited may just be true love!!!

    The rest of the film is really good, so I can't complain TOO much, and their world-building is SO on point, like almost nobody else has managed to do. I really have to like it. The sequel ("Prep&Landing: Naughty vs Nice") is almost as good, and included on the same DVD. =^.^= 4/4

    Here's a get-to-know-you thing we can all do: What's a Christmas movie that you like, and why? Disney's "Prep & Landing". Because they've created a fully-built world, where elves have jobs aside from just making toys. AND THEY HAVE SWEAR WORDS! 1/-

    I say this every year but #Disney needs to make another Prep & Landing movie. It's so good. #Prep #Landing #ItsATurbo #JingleSmells

    Day 13: Prep & Landing, which apparently was enough of a hit to inspire sequels. I will say, though I loved Arthur Christmas, that movie clearly saw this special.
