I am a child of the 80s, and Jim Henson's The Christmas Toy is a must-see during the holidays. I found out that a few years after The Christmas Toy was released, this spin-off series, Secret Life of Toys, was created in Germany and released in Europe and in the US. I never saw this series as we didn't have cable when I was a child. When this popped up on Amazon, I had to order it. The premise is still the same: the toys come alive after the people leave the room. The toys get up to shenanigans but always seem to learn a valuable lesson in the end. The toy room is different as are some of the characters and voices. I was glad to see that Rugby the Tiger is the same through and through. This DVD includes 6 episodes and is labelled "Volume 1" so I assume there are more volumes to follow. I introduced my three-year-old son to the Christmas Toy movie which he thoroughly enjoys. I think all the catchy songs help. As expected, he loves this series too. Well worth the small amount I paid for the DVD. I would recommend it!
