Missing penultimate chapter

(1 star)

The story is fine, it's basically a Christmas-themed musical, heavily inspired by The Wizard of Oz. The big problem is that it's completely missing the final chapter of the story. The last chapter listed here is more of an epilogue. It jumps from "they're swarmed by soldiers, how will they escape?" to "Now they're safe in Santa Claus Land, having a party because Jonathan Thomas saved the day." It's a very anti-climactic finish.

This show is DEFINITELY not as good as The Cinnamon Bear!!! This show while very cute and nostalgic pales in comparison.
