Missing penultimate chapter

(1 stars)

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.

Here is a play for Christmas time That's told with lines that mostly rhyme The tracks are in very good condition The story runs smooth - almost no omissions Fairy Tale folks are here at hand And a couple from Alice in Wonderland It's the adventure of John and the Man in the Moon Christmas is coming - Better listen real soon! -Whiskery Bill the Squirrel

Hmmm...

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