It's Christmas!

A heartwarming animated Christmas musical where a quirky family learns the true meaning of togetherness through song and laughter

CHARACTERS:

The Souptree Family:  Parker (dad), Jaime (mom), Izzy (elder daughter), Terry (middle child), Alex and Sammy (young twins)

The D’No Family:  Charlie (Izzy’s long-time boyfriend), and his mom, Riley

SYNOPSIS:

The show starts with Parker’s idyllic view of Christmas versus Jamie’s frenzy of having to pull everything together, then transitions to middle daughter Terry’s teenage angst, and then into elder daughter Izzy’s will-they-won’t-they-get-together struggle with her traveling-musician boyfriend.  Meanwhile, the young twins Alex and Sammy perform in the town’s annual Christmas pageant.  While Charlie struggles to make it home for Christmas,  Alex attempts to stay awake on Christmas Eve in order to meet Santa Claus. Everything resolves as the families celebrate on Christmas day

WHY IT WILL SUCCEED: 

• This project appeals to families seeking original holiday content, blending musical charm with relatable characters. Nostalgic, yet fresh.
• A 74-minute draft version using rudimentary 2D animation is already complete so one can get a feel for the story and the music
• It works as a musical stage play as well as a film
• There are 17 original songs
