A young boy is given a velveteen stuffed rabbit as a Christmas gift, who promptly becomes forgotten in lieu of other "modern" and mechanical toys. What the rabbit longs for more than anything is to be real, but it requires the selfless love of a child. I had somehow never read this story before so this was my first time encountering the material. It's a very touching tale that reminded me of a cross between Pinocchio, Winnie the Pooh and Toy Story.
(I'll be honest, I mostly reviewed this for inclusion in The Bunny Collection.)

I'm not familiar with the story.
The movie looks enjoyable, but I can't shake the feeling that Velveteen Rabbit sounds like a sex toy for perspicacious ladies. o_0
In a similar vein, I thought a "skin horse" was referring to a horse's foreskin.
