The
Light Before Christmas
Certain
to be an endearing film for decades, The Light
Before Christmas will spark the imaginations of young and old when
shown on the five-story high IMAX screen at the AutoNation ® IMAX ® Theater
this holiday season.
After losing their way on a cold, blustery Christmas Eve, two children,
Katie and Makean are rescued by their friend, The Candleman, an old
sage who imparts wisdom, hot chocolate and stories. He immediately
invites the shivering children to his cozy cottage where he helps them
warm up and dry out their mittens.
Knowing
a little holiday magic will raise the children’s spirits,
The Candleman opens a weathered book and begins to read the classic
tale, The Night Before Christmas. To their astonishment,
Katie and Makean find themselves as characters in the poem, where they
experience the wonder and delight of Santa’s visit to their home,
complete with Hob the Elf and full team of reindeer.
Hoping not to be seen, the children sneak from their
bedroom and watch wide-eyed as Santa carefully fills
the stocking and gently tucks gifts under the glittering Christmas
tree.
This stunning stop-motion animated film fills the giant screen with
lavishly detailed sets and characters inspired by the fascinating designs
of renowned artist James C. Christensen, while the musical score hearkens
back to many beloved Christmas classics.
Just before the closing credits roll, Santa and Hob reappear and take
the audience on a whimsical tour through the magical workshop where
The Light Before Christmas was made. Artists create sets and characters,
voice actors demonstrate their talents, and animators devote their
skills and experience in bringing the script to life.
This film was produced in stop-motion animation by Evergreen Holiday
Classics and Tandem Motion Picture Studios, and has been released by
Cinema Group.
