synopsis
Jon Voight directed and stars in this fantasy about a young boy who begins hanging out with the wrong crowd until he's given a gift of a tin soldier. The soldier comes to life, and uses his steely principles to set the boy back on the straight and narrow. However, the soldier also has a few problems of his own -- namely, he's fallen in love with a toy ballerina. Joining Voight in the cast are Ally Sheedy, Dom DeLuise, Trenton Knight, and Bethany Richards.
