The Toy That Saved Christmas (1996)
The Toy That Saved Christmas is the first holiday special in the VeggieTales series. It was released in October 1996 on VHS and DVD on September 15, 2002. The episode presents the Biblical story of the birth of Jesus as the true meaning of Christmas. It takes place in 'Dinkletown' where Mr. Nezzar disguises himself as Santa Claus in order to get children to believe that Christmas is about receiving more toys so that he can make a fortune selling his best toy; Buzz-Saw Louie, a doll that has a Buzz Saw built into his right arm. However, one of the "Louie" dolls doesn't like this idea and sets out to foil Nezzar's scheme.

Famous quotes containing the words toy and/or saved:
“... Everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It’s easy to see without looking too far
That not much is really sacred.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
“[M]y conception of liberty does not permit an individual citizen or a group of citizens to commit acts of depredation against nature in such a way as to harm their neighbors and especially to harm the future generations of Americans. If many years ago we had had the necessary knowledge, and especially the necessary willingness on the part of the Federal Government, we would have saved a sum, a sum of money which has cost the taxpayers of America two billion dollars.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
