The Steadfast Tin Soldier

Inspired by sketches created in the 1940s by a Disney story artist working on an adaptation of a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, director Hendel Butoy discovered he had the perfect plot to go with this lively classical composition. The music itself was suggested by Roy Disney, who remembered the piece as one that his daughter would bounce along to when she was a child. "Immediately we knew that this music and this story were meant for each other," recalls Butoy. Computer-generated imagery blends seamlessly with traditional hand-drawn animation in this delightfully entertaining tale. The story follows the adventures of a brave tin soldier, who overcomes incredible odds to rescue the beautiful ballerina from the sinister Jack-in-the-Box and wins her heart.
