A misfit teddy bear and his outcast friends find a home in this familiarly themed animated Christmas musical with songs and narration by country singer Trisha Yearwood. Life doesn't start out well for "Tangie" (voiced by Jonathan Taylor Thomas); whose smile is stamped on upside-down in a factory mishap. The frowning bear doesn't make the department store cut before Christmas and winds up in an out-of-the-way shop of seconds and used items run by the kindly Mr. Winkle (Tom Bosley) and his cranky watchdog; Virgil. But Tangie makes the best of things; befriending the other gadgets in the window (a cuckoo clock voiced by David Hyde Pierce; a jack-in-the-box voiced by Howie Mandel; and a mermaid clock voiced by Jenna Elfman). He even wins over the ornery bulldog; who softens up enough to take the crew on an impromptu sled ride the following Christmas. The sweet sensibility of this 46-minute offering will probably most appeal to children ages 2 to 8; especially if they have read the book by Betty and Michael Paraskevas. --Kimberly Heinrichs
