From AudioFile:

Merciless Marvin ³The Magnificent² Mouse has found the perfect home for winter--Macy's department store. He and his gang nibble the cheese, ride the model train, and take up residence in a dollhouse in the toy department. All is going wonderfully until the store's beloved Santa, Mr. Dunderhoff, disappears. Then it's off to the races to find Santa and save Christmas by employing yet another one of Marvin's ³bold, foolproof new plans.² Daniel Bostick and the gang at Full Cast Audio are pitch-perfect at voicing these comic characters as if they were smaller, kinder Sopranos. Kids will love this adventure, and, most likely, a number of grandparents will want to listen to this instant Christmas classic, as well.
