The Mouse and His Child

"What are we, Papa?" the toy mouse child asked his father.

"I don't know," the father answered. "We must wait and see."

A tin father and son dance under a Christmas tree until they break ancient clock-work rules and are themselves broken. Discarded, rescued, repaired by a tramp, they quest for dream of a family and a place of their own — magnificent doll house, plush elephant, and tin seal remembered from a toy shop.
