the Madrigal family lives in a magical home in Colombia where each member has a unique gift: from shape-shifting and talking to animals to curing ailments with baked goods.

“I grew up in the ‘70s, so we watched every holiday special that came on, every year. As someone who is now grown-up and has made a few holiday-themed, musical episodes of animated television, I feel indebted to the strange world of those TV specials: the deeply melancholy Charlie Brown specials, the deeply strange Rankin/Bass stop-motion Christmas specials, especially“‘The Grinch’ was unique in that it was the coming together of two towering pillars of entertainment: Chuck Jones and Dr. Seuss .
