    This was a great Easter TV special. I loved watching this as a kid. I don't remember much (at all, so if I am wrong please forgive me), but from what I remember it was great.

    A young boy named Peter is the main character. An evil tin man named Tin Whiskers (I think) somehow buys the whole town and re-names everything after tin and metal. Peter must save the town/Easter(?). He goes into the woods and meets Mother Nature and she helps him in some way. I do not remember the end, but I would not give it away anyways.

    Overall, it was a very cute holiday special. Hopefully this will be released in the future so I can enjoy it every year. Released March 2007.

    I had the video when I was a kid, I couldn't remember the name until a little bit ago and found out it's on DVD so I ordered it off Amazon. Brought back childhood memories for me, was rather bizarre yet fun to watch.

    I showed it to my sister. I don't think she caught onto the plot very quickly, though I think it would help to not argue about it through logic & PC-ness, it also helps to shut up. Don't try to bring logic and PC-ness into a nonsensical kids' movie, it doesn't work. The couple kinda talk like Yoda.

    Doesn't make a tremendous, great deal of sense, but there is *some* sense in there. Mother Nature sends an enchanted baby who grows into a boy named Peter to help an Amish couple with their problems as they're under the threat of an evil robot named Tin Whiskers. Though, not technically a robot or a cyborg even, he had more of a mechanical suit like Iron Man. With the help of his animal friends and Mother Nature, Peter must save everyone and Easter from Tin Whiskers.

    Like I said, rather bizarre yet fun to watch. And don't try to bring logic or PC-ness into a nonsensical kids' movie, it doesn't work.
