RICHIE RICH’S CHRISTMAS WISH
America’s richest kid is back with more fantastic toys and incredible adventures. When Richie Rich’s nasty cousin Reggie Van Dough causes Richie’s sleigh full of orphans’ Christmas gifts to run down pedestrians, attack neighborhood homes and fly past the orphanage, Richie (David Gallagher) wishes he was never born. But he gets more than he bargained for when Professor Keanbean (Eugene Levy) invents a wishing machine that magically transports Richie to an alternate universe where Reggie rules with an iron fist, Richie’s personal valet Cadbury is a heavy-metal roadie, his robot-servant Irona is a fire-breathing cyborg and Richie’s loveable dog Dollar is forlorn. Through an action-packed chase and museum heist, Richie and his friends race against time to outwit Reggie and find the wishing machine so Richie can return to reality and save Christmas.

THE DOG WHO SAVED CHRISTMAS

The family takes a liking to Zeus, but heads to Grandma’s house for a Christmas visit discouraged. While away, two inept thieves (Dean Cain, Joey Diaz) break into the Bannister’s home. Chaos turns to comedy when Zeus realizes his true guard dog potential and attempts to outwit the intruders – beating them at their own game.
