About this item
Imagine James Marshalls The Stupids celebrating Hanukkah, and youd get the Latke family!Lucy Latkes family is just like yours or mine. Except that theyre potato pancakes. And also, they are completely clueless. After lighting the menorah and gobbling the gelt, Grandpa Latke tells everyone the Hanukkah story, complete with mighty Mega Bees who use a giant dreidel to fight against the evil alien potatoes from Planet Chhh. Its up to the Latke family dog to set the record straight. (To start with, they were Maccabees, not Mega Bees...) But hell have to get the rest of the Latkes to listen to him first!
