A collection of bizarrely original animated stories from scripts written by young children. Emulating the approach of New York’s 52nd Street Project and London’s Scene & Heard theatre groups, the film is voiced by professional adult actors and directed to render the children’s dramatic intentions as sincerely as possible. Premise: Woody, the box of matches, dreams of becoming a lighter. In the Mexican desert he encounters Antus, an untrustworthy cactus, who claims he can help him fufill his ambitions. Together they journey to The Land of the Freeze – the North Pole – where a surprise is in store for both of them.

Best known for being the narrator in all those Leon's Commercials. But to me, Harvey was best known for playing Sam in The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police, and also played Mario's and Luigi's arch enemy Bowser Koopa on DiC Entertainment's cartoon version of Super Mario Bros. (notably, he is the first English voice actor for the character). Playing Bowser in all three Mario animated series, he is the only voice actor to appear in all three series as the same character. Harvey also did the voice of Mr. Mushnik on Little Shop, loosely based on the movie Little Shop of Horrors.

Harvey Atkin has appeared in more than 75 films, and has appeared hundreds of times in episodic television shows. He has done voice-over work in literally thousands of television and radio commercials, for which he has won three Clio awards.

He is also well known as the desk sergeant in the television series Cagney & Lacey, and as the hapless, heavily sleeping camp director and practical joke victim Morty in the 1979 film Meatballs (in the film, the characters call him "Mickey" to annoy him), for which performance he earned a Genie nomination.
