SARAH CHALKE DONS HER ELF HAT FOR “DISNEY’S PREP & LANDING”

Disney’s Prep & Landing is the untold story about an elite group of elves who are an advance team for Santa prior to the big flight around the world each Christmas.  The elves enter the house early and insure the home is ready for the big guy’s arrival. It’s a new take on the Christmas theme headed up by John Lasseter (Toy Story), who is the Chief Creative Officer in charge of Disney and Pixar animation.
SCRUBS star, Sarah Chalke stars as Magee, a coffee-guzzling, fast-talking elf in charge of coordinating the other elves who will be scooting down the chimney before Santa.  Chalke admits there were similarities between Magee and her.  For one, the actress is a caffein addict and has to really restrain herself from ingesting too much in one day.  She’s also a rapid-fire speaker who forces herself to slow down while she’s performing.
But, that wasn’t the only reason Chalke was attracted to Prep & Landing.  She knows Christmas stories take on a life of their own well after the initial run.  To be part of a future holiday tradition was an opportunity Chalke couldn’t pass up.
