What it is
In this Pixar animated film, two elf brothers, Ian and Barley Lightfoot, are given a gift left by their late father: a magic staff and a spell that can bring him back for one day. The spell goes wrong and restores only his lower half, so the brothers set out on a quest through a suburban fantasy world to find a way to finish it before sunset.
