In Search of Santa
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
