Comments: Well this story starts off with so many questions as to what is happening and has happened. Santa Klaus is the same character from the first series but he is in the present now not the past. A very brief explanation is given.
Klaus is back and already has a mission.
The snow and ice covered wooden puppets are drawn to look amazing. These creatures are shown as evil minions.
The Witch of Winter is a foreboding figure. She has Geppetto and now Klaus as well as her prisoners.
We learn here the Shining People from behind the Northern Lights gave Santa knowledge on how to bring inanimate matter to life. This is a new aspect to his abilities. He also has three magical runes.
The Witch of Winter wants to conquer all. She has her army of magical wooden snow covered soldiers and Santa well he also has a small army of carved wooden figures.
There is lots of emotion in this story. It is true heart felt and touching.
You just have to see this version of Santa’s sleigh. It is an amazing sight.
The ending to this tale of Christmas is a wonderful one that will have you believing in Santa Klaus.
