  2. Fact Sheet

Christmas Eve. How will Panda, Clown, Robot, Elephant and all the other toys abandoned on a public rubbish tip discover the happiness of being given to a child? Fortunately and quite by chance they are found by April, the kindly doll, and the Sandman, whose only wish is to give the little ones, who were sure they had been forgotten, a fabulous Christmas.
