Combining puppetry and vibrant graphics, this is a tale about the importance of preserving the environment and protecting endangered species. Originally aired as part of The Jim Henson Hour.

The children make a paperbag puppet, named Datz, to be Ditz's brother. / Raisin concocts a scheme to scare the wits out of Rugby.

Raisin decides it's her turn to be queen. / It's up to Balthazar to save Rugby from Beamland.

Bratty Rat threatens to tell on Raisin. / Hortense has to clean up her mess before the children return.

This series follows the adventures of a close-knit band of six toys: Balthazar, the battered old teddy bear; Rugby, the mischievous tiger; Ditz, the puzzled clown; Mew, the little blue cat toy; Hortense, the rocking horse; and Raisin, the tom-boy rag doll. The toys live in a world all children dream of visiting where their first best friends come to life.

Balthazar discovers there's more to being a leader than youth and strength. / Rugby wishes that Ditz would disappear.
