Every family has a toy that’s been loved almost to pieces.

A faded teddy. A well-worn rabbit. A faithful friend hugged, dragged, dropped and loved through every adventure.

The Velveteen Rabbit tells the story of how one toy became exactly that kind of friend. When a small boy takes him into his arms, everything begins to change.

Brought to life with beautiful puppetry and gentle storytelling, this beloved classic is a celebration of friendship, imagination and the love that makes a toy real.
