Disney-Pixar animation featuring the voice talents of Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Octavia Spencer. On his 16th birthday elf Barley (Holland) is given a magical staff capable of bringing his dad back from the dead for one day. However, when the spell goes awry, Barley and his brother Ian (Pratt) set out on a quest to finish the spell and spend one more day with their dad. They seek out the help of manticore Corey (Spencer), a fearless adventurer, who sets them on the right path, but it's not long before the boys find themselves in a whole lot of trouble, with their mum (Louis-Dreyfus) following closely behind, determined to save them.
