Update! It’s The Christmas Toy.

I read this over at Classic Nick. I don’t remember the name of this special, and it used to be my favorite thing of all time. Anybody have any ideas?

There was a Christmas movies they used to show about toys that came to life and if they were seen by humans they “died”. It had a doll named Apple, a tiger stuffed-animal, a Barbie doll, and an old teddy bear. The story revolved around the tiger and how he did not want to be replaced by any new toys that would be given to his owner at Christmas. Apple tried to stop the tiger from taking the place of a warrior woman doll, who was set free and ran amuck around the house. At the end the tiger and Apple were able to persuade the woman warrior doll back in her box by singing a song on how great she was. The tiger and Apple became better friends then they were before and the tiger learned that just because he was an old toy, did not mean his owner didn’t love him any less. I think this was made by Jim Henson and it was on when Nickelodeon still owned The Muppet Show and other Jim Henson creations.
