About this listen

One boy and his toy are about to change everything....

Jack loves his childhood toy Dur Pig. DP has always been there for him, through good and bad. Until one Christmas Eve something terrible happens - DP is lost. But Christmas Eve is a night for miracles and lost causes, a night when all things can come to life...even toys. And Jack’s newest toy - the Christmas Pig (DP’s annoying replacement) - has a daring plan: Together they’ll embark on a magical journey to seek something lost and to save the best friend Jack has ever known....

A heartwarming adventure about one child’s love for his most treasured thing and how far he will go to find it. A tale for the whole family to fall in love with, from one of the world’s greatest storytellers.

Story was a wonderful Christmas tale and my kids were enthralled and still talk about it.

The narrator excellent and the some of the cast were also good. I’m not sure if it was the editing or the cast but sometimes if felt like some of the ensemble didn’t know what was going on. Felt a bit disjointed in parts. Still better than me reading aloud tho

Oh my gosh it was such a thriller at times I was like WHATS GONNA HAPPEN NEXT??? The first few parts were quite sad and made me cry a little but it had a little message hidden in there for the younger ones 😀 but when they went into the lost realm is when it got interesting 🤔 overall it was AMAZING 😻
