Is Christmas a human fantasy about Santa Claus and flying reindeer or is it a celebration of family, kindness, and the genuine desire to help others? When the King and Queen Penguins of Royal Rookery Rock hatch two lovely daughters, an instant rivalry is born between Crystal (voiced by pop star Hilary Duff), the first-hatched who is entitled to inherit the throne, and second-hatched Lucinda (voiced by Haylie Duff, Hilary's real-life sister). An unexpected brush with a sleigh bell from Santa's sleigh and a chance encounter with a human book about the legend of Christmas sends Crystal on a journey to the North Pole to find out if Santa really exists. Lucinda follows her and, along a journey fraught with pirates, beasts, and unfriendly elves, the two penguins learn a lot about themselves and the true meaning of Christmas. The question is, will their newfound knowledge be enough to save their Kingdom from the evil plotting of some "deep thinking" elderly penguins back home? This 80-minute, CGI-animated presentation offers a cute story with a wholesome Christmas message. (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi
