The Mouse and his Child come to consciousness in a toy shop, where they learn it is their destiny to walk around in clockwork circles forever. They fall from the shelf and are sent out with the trash, eventually falling into slavery and the clutches of Manny the Rat. Escaping, they set out on a quest to become 'self-winding'.

I have included a link to ebay, because the number of copies remaining at Amazon is very small at the time of writing - but be warned it is likely that most ebay copies (particularly the DVD's) are bootlegs taped from old VHS copies.
