Pretzel

From the studio that brought you "An American Tail" and "The Land Before Time" comes the happily-ever-after story of Pretzel, based on the book by the creators of Curious George. Pretzel is the longest dachshund in the world, and the lengths he goes for puppy love. One morning in May five little dachshunds are born. But one grows up to be the longest of all! Pretzel easily wins a blue ribbon at the dog show and the admired of everyone – everyone except Greta, the little dachshund across the street, who doesn't care for long dogs. But Pretzel is able to use his unique gift to win Greta over, and before long they have puppies of their very own.
