What are we willing to walk through to see our dreams come to pass? Our minds might be so wholly alive with the passions we carry and the plans we make to see these things become all we wish them to be, yet life doesn’t always want to come alongside.

The age-old question remains….can we overcome? Or will we BE overcome?
This animated Christmas movie is based on the classic novel of the same name.
