SYNOPSIS
When two children, Tammy and Timmy, are out of their toy room, their toys come to life! The Steadfast Tin Soldier falls in love with the beautiful ballerina and vows to protect her from the evil Jack-in-the-box. They encounter several toys along the way, like a train that “thinks he can” and a book who’s missing a page. Employing the help of a helpful gutter rat named Riley to find their way back to the toy room after Jack pushes them out the window, the Tin Soldier and the ballerina embark on a journey of friendship, love, courage, and acceptance.
