At Christmas, a boy who loves to watch rabbits playing in the garden receives a velveteen rabbit as a gift. |
|
That night, all the toys in the boy's toy box come to life. They tell the Velveteen Rabbit that being real means having parts that move. |

| The Skin Horse, the oldest toy in the nursery, talks to the Robot, one of the new, shiny, mechanical toys. | After the Robot points out how much the Velveteen Rabbit has been worn by playing with the Boy, the Velveteen Rabbit asks the Skin Horse if this will hurt his chances of becoming real. |
 |
   |
| The Skin Horse reassures the Velveteen Rabbit that being real depends only upon being loved, and that even with worn fur, “You'll still be beautiful to him.” | The real rabbits come into the garden and play while the Velveteen Rabbit admires them. |
 |
 |
| The White Rabbit teases the Velveteen Rabbit because he has no moveable hind legs. | Meanwhile, the Boy has become ill with viral pneumonia, and must go to the hospital. |
 |
 |
| The Boy wants to take his Velveteen Rabbit, but the Doctor tells the Mother that the toy should be thrown in the ash can becaise it is infected with germs. | In the ash can, the Velveteen Rabbit believes all the dreams of being real are gone forever. |
 |
 |
| However, Fairies appear and dance in the garden. | The Nursery Magic Fairy tells the Velveteen Rabbit that she is now real, and can run and play with the other rabbits. |

 |
| When the Boy returns from the hospital, all his toys are waiting in the toy box—except for the Velveteen Rabbit—but a rabbit that looks just like her is playing outside in the garden. | Directors Jodi and Jenn. |
