What's the Story?
COSTUME QUEST: HEROES ON HOLIDAY finds our pint-sized heroes Wren, Reynold, Everett, and Lucy gearing up to enjoy a drama-free time at Auburn Hollow's annual Christmas Festival of Cheer. They're anticipating a fun-filled party complete with gifts and nougat galore -- but soon find themselves roped into adventure yet again when the nefarious monster hunter Silvia Razer shows up in their town, desperate to track down the source of all this paranormal activity her creepy van's sensors have been detecting. The kids are forced to abandon the festival to strap on their magical costumes and save their community before Razer mows down monsters and humans alike in her maniacal quest for proof that these spooky creatures exist.
Is It Any Good?
This holiday special features playful animation, a diverse crew of characters who are both amusing and sweet, and an overall tone of goofy fun that makes it a surefire hit for fans of the main series. You don't have to be an overworked superhero to relate to these kids and their wish to just kick back and relax for once -- and Costume Quest: Heroes on Holiday does a great job showing the way the gang learns from their mistakes, and how sometimes we have to do the responsible thing and fight for what's right, even when it's not convenient or easy. Of course, this being Auburn Hollow, there's plenty of slapstick fun, silly songs, and lighthearted laughter, too.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about the special's villain, Silvia Razer, and what might be motivating her to find proof that monsters exist. Is she driven by scientific curiosity, or by fear of things that are different? How does this affect how she treats the people and creatures around her?
What do the Costume Quest: Heroes on Holiday kids learn about compassion and teamwork in this special? Why are these important character strengths?
