Based on the beloved book series, the film follows the children as they use their unique talents and intelligence to outwit Olaf while being passed between different guardians. The story explores themes of resilience, family bonds, and finding hope in dark circumstances, while maintaining a darkly whimsical tone that doesn't shy away from discussing loss and hardship with younger audiences.
