              "THE STUFFED ANIMAL"


                                          Synopsis
One Christmas eve, Cindy Kim, while walking her large dog, Furf, encounters Miss Abigail Grace, the proprietor of a little shop known as the “Stuffed Animal,” on a street corner near her shop. Cindy inquires if Miss Grace recalls buying a doll that Cindy's mother had put in a yard sale years ago— a little ballerina doll.

When Miss Grace asks "Why?" Cindy tells her the story of her favorite doll, Sabrina Ballerina, and asks if she might buy her back — if Miss Grace still has her.

Miss Grace agrees, and takes Cindy into her nearby shop which Miss
Grace explains is really a "hospital" where she restores discarded dolls and teddies that she believes were once the favorite companion of a little boy or girl.

Once inside the shop, Cindy meets Tommy, the toy soldier, Susie, the teddy, and the other dolls and plushes that Miss Grace has restored.

And thus begins a magical Christmas adventure in which, for one night
the dolls and teddies come alive to tell the stories of the children they loved ... until Ms. Cage enters, misbehaves and nearly ruins everthing.
