## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A film that somehow assumes toys need to be believed in like deities. An 11-year-old babysitter stumbles into Toyland during a blizzard for a wedding she definitely wasn't invited to. The closer wonders if the Toymaster’s requirement for faith doubles as a metaphor for retail.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful
