About the Show:
It's Christmas! When the little stuffed Rabbit shows up under the tree, the other toys laugh at him. But Skin Horse, the shabbiest and wisest toy in the nursery, tells him to be patient. Velveteen Rabbit becomes the Boy's true friend, staying by his side through thick and thin. During his illness, the boy has exciting dreams of going to the sea where he and his toy Rabbit have a comic, swashbuckling adventure. At last, the hopeful Rabbit meets the Nursery fairy who uses her magic to make him Real.
