The character design is typical Jetlag Productions, too, and not the most appealing; Landon for example, looks almost exactly like Peter Cratchit in A Christmas Carol 1994. When Landon finds out that his younger sister, Emery Elizabeth, is so ill that she might not live to see another Christmas, he comes up with a plan to help her get better.

Review:
I stumbled across this animated tale on Hulu.com during the Christmas season and, while not a great movie, it is definitely cute and will appeal to younger viewers, especially to preschoolers. The animation is simple, but bright and colorful. Emery Elizabeth and all of the girls in the movie were shown with pale pink lips that almost didn’t even look real so there was something off about the animation of the faces, but that is a minor detail. Landon reminded me visually of Henry in The Littles, but he and all of the other children are animated in a very cute, borderline anime-fashion (no big eyes). There are some original songs included, none of which I felt was good enough for me to remember what they were about when the movie was over, but I am sure that children will enjoy the music nonetheless.
The best part about the movie, however, is the sweet storyline. It was so wonderful to see an animated special where siblings not only got along, but they love each other and encourage each other. Landon loves his little sister very much. Rather than be upset that she is getting a lot of care and attention due to her prolonged illness, Landon is determined to do all he can to help Emery Elizabeth get better. He spends a chilly afternoon in the yard creating Snowden, a snowman that reminded me quite a bit of Frosty the Snowman, but in sunglasses and a trenchcoat. Snowden’s slang may be dated now, but little kids will not know that and will get a kick out of the way Snowden talks. Landon and Emery Elizabeth must help Snowden recover Princess Electra’s smile from an evil villain who is determined to make all of the children take candy, rainbows and their dreams and turn them into a bunch of slimy yuk. Emery Elizabeth is critical to defeat the villain as she can use the power of her inner self to turn her wheelchair into any object with wheels. I loved that the writers chose to make Emery Elizabeth, the handicapped one, the heroine of the story. Instead of having her wheelchair be a weakness, Emery Elizabeth was able to turn this disability into a great strength that eventually saved all of the children!
This movie is definitely created with children in mind. I felt like Landon or another young boy or girl would have imagined a story like this and chosen to share it with their siblings. The magical kingdom where everything takes place only has children who live there. They dance, play and sing all day, powered by Princess Electra’s magical smile. The beds are shaped like cream puffs and ice cream cones. Every toy and game imaginable is available for the children to play with and they have no cares or worries. The only limit on what you can do in this magical kingdom is your own imagination.
While I think children will really enjoy this tale, I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would. There is not a lot there for older children or for adults to want to sit through it with younger viewers. Many view this DVD as a Christmas movie, but there is nothing really Christmasy about it. Emery Elizabeth needs to live past the holiday to have any hope of recovering from her illness, but over half of the action takes place in a magical kingdom. There is one scene at the end that shows Emery Elizabeth opening a Christmas present near the Christmas tree, but that is the only Christmas scene in the movie. Still, if you are looking for a movie to share with your children around the winter holidays, this is a good cartoon to buy. You can usually find it for $2 – $5 online or in stores so it is very affordable and worth the cost if you have little ones at home who will watch it a few times in a row.
Content:

Reviews for "The Joy and Excitement of Meeting the Iglu Mascot in Sydney"
1. Samantha - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the Iglu mascot Sydney. First of all, the costume looked cheap and poorly made. The colors were faded and it just didn't have that professional look that you would expect. Additionally, the person inside the mascot costume didn't seem to know what they were doing. They were clumsy and didn't interact with the crowd effectively. Overall, I was not impressed with the Iglu mascot Sydney and would not recommend it to others.
2. John - 1 star
I had high hopes for the Iglu mascot Sydney, but it was a complete letdown. The costume was poorly designed and didn't resemble the actual Iglu brand at all. It looked like a generic mascot costume that you could find at any party store. The person inside the costume also didn't seem to have any enthusiasm or energy. They just stood there, barely interacting with anyone. I expected more from the Iglu mascot Sydney and was extremely disappointed.
3. Emily - 2 stars
The Iglu mascot Sydney was a big disappointment. The costume looked worn out and outdated. It didn't have that fun and vibrant appeal that you would expect from a mascot. The person inside the costume also didn't seem very passionate about their role. They were just going through the motions, without any real engagement with the crowd. It was a lackluster performance and I wouldn't recommend the Iglu mascot Sydney to others.
4. Michael - 1 star
I was not impressed with the Iglu mascot Sydney at all. The costume looked old and dirty, like it hadn't been properly maintained. It was also extremely uncomfortable for the person inside, as they seemed to struggle with mobility. The performance was lackluster and there was no real connection with the audience. Overall, I was highly disappointed with the Iglu mascot Sydney and wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and engaging experience.
