Plot Summary:
All You Need to Do Is Believe
Inspired by the classic tale by Margery WIlliams, The Velveteen Rabbit features the voices of Golden Globe® winner Jane Seymour with Emmy® Award winner Tom Skerritt and Academy® Award winner Ellen Burstyn.
Toby Morgan is a young boy, but feels the loneliness of his strict grandmother and increasingly distant father. His discovery of the “magic attic” offers a safehaven where he finds a stuffed rabbit his mom (Seymour) left him before she passed-away. His tears transform the rabbit into a playful animated Rabbit and his amazing animated adventures begin. Rabbit’s one wish is become a real rabbit someday, and Toby’s wish is to have a happy, supportive family again. Through lessons learned with the help of a Swan (Burstyn) and Horse (Skerritt), and the transforming power of love, both wishes come true.
