I love how everyone in the comments nostalgia describes the show as a fever dream lol I actually really loved the show when I was a little girl, but I thought that the two frogs were a fever dream and now I realize that they were real. I wish there was more programming in classical genres like ballet.
I thought the goblin in the pilot was weird looking bc I grew up watching toy castle first before seeing the pilot episode. I did enjoy watching the pilot and the show. I remember having a crush on the Goblin from the show cause I thought he was cute looking! 🥰
I grew up thinking I'd watched The Nutcracker when really it was this! This was buried so deep in my memory, I'm so glad this has resurfaced it. While the jack in the box character did terrify me, I really enjoyed this as a child.
I've been looking for this exact movie for 10 years now! As a child I would watch it on VHS non-stop and no one knew what I was talking about! Thank you so much for uploading this!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS!! Like many of the others here it always lurked in my memory as something I recalled watching as a child that scared the hell out of me. Ironically I actually really loved The Toy Castle series itself, it was only this special that was terrifying.
Man this episode used to give me so many nightmares as a 5-7 yr old lmao. I was half convinced this was a fever dream as none of my siblings could remember this toy castle special (besides their general fear/dislike of the clown + frogs in the regular show) so thanks for whoever posted this! Glad to see that the warped jester face is still nightmarish AF and not just distorted by my childhood memories 😅
@georgerobertson7010 sorry, I mistyped I meant to put movie lol 😅 what do you mean by pilot though? Like did this feature come out before the series? Or was it just the first movie they made for toy castle?
@georgerobertson7010 Really? That's amazing! I don't know whether to be relieved or bummed that we never got to see more (possibly unintentionally?) scary classic fairytale moments from them. Jester/Jack in this was one of the first truly terrifying memories I have as a four year old. This probably helped shape my taste in horror tbh 😅
@georgerobertson7010 thanks sm for sharing that bit of info! It makes me wonder tho if they had any other plans for more movies based on fairytales or ballets like this beyond what we got that might've been cut or scrapped
I never saw the pilot episode (97 baby) but I’ve been rewatching all the episodes and figured out the source of my love for ballet and classical music ❤️
2007 baby and had it on DvD. The jack in the box freaked me out big time and borderline traumatised me lol. My sister's favourite childhood movie, she was absolutely stoked about me finding it on UA-cam🥺 No wonder she's so passionate about dance and music
My siblings and I watched this from entrance of the tv room, we were *that* terrified. I was only recently able to get over my fear of that jack in the box, I thought he was coming for me. I swear how was this for kids? Even now I'm trying to hide in the comments in case of any frightening appearances.
I only saw bits of it as a kid, I recognized a ton of the characters from Toy Castle but I never knew what it was called, thought it was a life stage performance at first. I didn't see the goblin nightmare scene so it didn't really scare me. But looking at the special now I can't help but see the similarities between the goblin and Marilyn Manson 😂
I read a book retelling of the steadfast tin soldier and I was like. Wait I remember a show growing up similar. I also thought this was a dream. Core memory unlocked.
This is the biggest fever dream for me. I remember the sewer scene giving me nightmares as a kid, but rewatching it, I’m shocked the goblin never gave me nightmares. I’m a 98 baby. I watched the show when I was like 4 maybe, so they must’ve replayed this randomly one night. I remember being excited for it.
Omg I can't believe so many people were going through this with me, I knew I didn't make it up!!! LOL, I remember that sewer scene so well cause it made me like sick to my stomach
The night I saw this I had my most vivid nightmare about that goblin being perched, human size, watching me in my room. Due to the goblin in the show itself not looking like this one, I had thought I dreamt up the whole thing.
In This Special, Goblin Was A Villain And He Looked Very Scary And Creepy, But In The Toy Castle, He Became A Good Guy And He Doesn't Look Scary Or Creepy

the goblin gave me nightmares as a kid. thanks for uploading this. thought it was a fever dream for a second lol
Man. So many of those characters freaked me out
SMOKEFRMDA6IX I am guessing the goblin must have been sum sordov demon on this old movie or tv show.
I feel bad for the jack-in-the-box, he wanted true love.
He’s a villain
Same! He traumatized my nightmares, too. Kudos to Louis-Martin Charest for being legitimately terrifying.
Thought this was a fever dream, this movie imprinted on me (94 baby) probablty I watched this on TV at some point lol thanks for uploading

It’s actually not an episode it’s a pilot movie for the toy castle

@@fuzzysocks229 this came out before the toy castle tv show did

no its a terror clown
I'm a 97 baby and saw this special air sometime between 2001-2003. Gave me nightmares
2007 baby and had it on DvD. The jack in the box freaked me out big time and borderline traumatised me lol.
My sister's favourite childhood movie, she was absolutely stoked about me finding it on UA-cam🥺 No wonder she's so passionate about dance and music

I loved this play as a kid they were all amazing dancers ❤
Absolutely loving the comment section, glad to know i wasnt rhe only one that thought rhis was a fevwr dream lmfao
This is the biggest fever dream for me. I remember the sewer scene giving me nightmares as a kid, but rewatching it, I’m shocked the goblin never gave me nightmares.

NO WAY, I've been looking for this for years! Thank you for posting!
The Tin Soldier It’s A Story Of Romance Drama Suspense And Magic.
The bird is stunning
Omg I can't believe so many people were going through this with me, I knew I didn't make it up!!! LOL, I remember that sewer scene so well cause it made me like sick to my stomach
The funny part is, PBS would air this dead earliest of the early mornings running line up.
The dancing is what I always loved
Thank you so much for uploading this!
This creeped me out so much as a kid!
The way the stage changes from the castle to the sewer so cool
Welcome back
This specific episode had me in tears, while scared to move from the couch because it played during summer in the middle
Of the night
I saw this movie on VHS at my grandparents house and it creeped me out so much I was honestly hoping this was a fever dream but nope
we are not scared of the gobin
me too
#affirm
I remember watching this back when I was younger
Like the creators of this show didn't have to go that hard with the traumatizing jack in the box design but they really went all out for it lol
Have you noticed that some of the rats in this special are wearing the same clothes the Mouse family wore in the Toy Castle TV show?
The night I saw this I had my most vivid nightmare about that goblin being perched, human size, watching me in my room. Due to the goblin in the show itself not looking like this one, I had thought I dreamt up the whole thing.
So the movie came first and then came the show the toy castle
Ohhhh ok so this is a movie from the show ok I get it now , this is so cool
In This Special, Goblin Was A Villain And He Looked Very Scary And Creepy, But In The Toy Castle, He Became A Good Guy And He Doesn't Look Scary Or Creepy
The Rats Were Replaced By The Mouse Family In The Toy Castle Because The Rats Were Too Creepy And Scary
"Where are your papers?!"
It's like he's in prison or something 😂

Wait a dang minute these arent the oh cast from the show i have never seen this in my lifr
When I watched the toy castle when I was little when the movie of the tin soldier when evil gobin had turned in a nice
The Frogs Were Unnamed In This Special, But In The Toy Castle, They're We're Named Fredrick And Frieda
Fredrick and Frieda were also siblings in the toy castle unlike in the movie
I’d the china doll really a women ??? I have wondered the for years
In This Special, The Clown Had Creepy Make Up, But In The Toy Castle, It's Not Creepy
The girl frog was everything to me I wanted to be her so bad
The rats 🤣
I still have nightmares abut the goblin and I feel likes he’s adult it me but my mother that died of lung cancer saves my life every time
