Other - 09/30/2024 A thoughtful creature of lore and a troop of empathetic scouts bring the idea of a special Valentine’s Day delivery to a whole new level. Bigfoot, who’s not a fan of loud noises and often feels lonely while keeping out of sight in the forest, knows the lift that a piece of mail can offer. That’s why he’s made Valentine’s Day cards to send to his network of equally solitary mythical pen pals, including Scotland’s Nessie, who "stays deep underwater" to avoid notice, and Puerto Rico’s Chupacabra, a gardener who works solo at night. But on the way to the post office, Bigfoot unintentionally frightens some human scouts on a camping trip and nearly derails the plan. Luckily, a trio of campers who "always sit apart from the rest" whip out a laptop to recruit fellow scouts globally and deliver Bigfoot’s cards to unconventional addresses ("Mothman, the Grassy Hill"). It’s a spunky blend of silly and sweet that will serve as an introvert’s holiday treat. Human characters are portrayed with various skin tones. Ages 3-7. (Dec.) - Copyright 2024
