REVEALED: The theme of tonight's Late Late Toy Show is confirmed
Tonight's show will be a problem-free philosophy
Ireland's favourite night of the year has arrived and takes place tonight. A night of magic and mischief, brimmed with song, music, and toys, and a time for the family to gather around the fire and kick off the Christmas season together.
It's the Late Late Toy Show and the theme has been revealed.

RTE said: "After a year where children were restricted in play and socializing with their friends, they will get a very special invitation to step into the sun as the theme of this year’s Late Late Toy Show takes inspiration from the Disney classic, The Lion King.
"The night looks set to live the Hakuna Matata 'no worries' philosophy with children ruling the jungle in the studio and at home, for the most exciting TV event of the year.
Ryan and The Late Late Toy Show elves will have a few surprise delicacies up their sleeves that will be sure to make you roar! There's more to see than can ever be seen, as they have been on the pulse of the latest and greatest, and hottest new toys in the kingdom. We hear whispers that Fidgets, Pop-its, and a Labradoodle called Moji are among the top toys on this year’s toy list.
Ryan Tubridy said tonight's show isn’t just a theme, it is a movement and every child can leave the house, the room, and leave the kitchen and 'roam free in the jungle of their families because they are the boss tonight'.
