SUMMARY:
The Velveteen Rabbit is an entertaining live action and animated adaptation of the worldwide bestselling childrenâs book by Margery Williams. First published in the early 1920âs, The Velveteen Rabbit was awarded the IRA/CBC Childrenâs Choice award and has continued to capture the hearts and imagination of children and adults for nearly a century. Toby Morgan (Matthew Harbour) is a fun-loving boy with a vivid imagination. He is forced to spend the Christmas holidays with his very strict grandmother (Una Kay). Tobyâs father (Kevin Jubinville) is a successful businessman who has been emotionally withdrawn ever since Tobyâs mother passed away. His grandmotherâs house is big and lonely until he discovers the ãmagic atticä ö that used to he his fatherâs boyhood playroom. Much to his surprise, Toby finds a present left for him by his mother -- a stuffed velveteen rabbit. He hugs the rabbit and as he cries, his tears magically transform the rabbit into a playful animated Rabbit. And so begins Tobyâs amazing animated adventures in the atticâs enchanted world with Rabbit and all of their new toy friends: the impulsive Horse (voice of Jeff Bridges*) and the wise but nervous Swan (voice of Julie Andrews*). Rabbitâs one wish is to become a real rabbit someday. Tobyâs one wish is for his father to join him for Christmas. With help from the courageous Rabbit, Toby wins over his grandmother and survives a serious illness to reconcile with his father, who does make it back in time for Christmas. And the power of Tobyâs love ultimately makes the Velveteen Rabbit real after all. This is a perfect film for any child whoâs ever thought that maybe, just maybe, his or her toys have feelings. Itâs time to believe·
