I legitimately thought this was the sequel to Legend of the Guardians, that Zak Snyder owl movie, and was incredibly confused when I saw the headline and poster.

Yeah it's gonna be a tough one to sell because of that. Unfortunately DreamWorks had this project in development way before Snyder gave me owl laden nightmares

This sounds like a sequel to a really bad Mexican Christmas film entitled Santa Clause that was lampooned on MST3K. The demon's name is Pitch and everything.
