The Blinkins are GREAT!!! This needs to be on DVD!

I can not remember everything about this movie/featurette (since it has yet to be released on DVD), but here is the basic plot.

The Blinkins are fairies who live in the forest. One day as they are collecting food for winter, they come across a young girl's doll. They decide to take the doll home. The scene cuts to Grog the frog. He meets up with the bear, who can not think of anything but food for winter. I believe that Grog gives the bear the idea to take food from the Blinkins. Grog and the bear give the Blinkins until midnight (or nightfall)to collect more food and prepare it for the bear.

The Blinkins and Mr. Benjamin the owl must then think of a plan to keep their food and get rid of Grog and the bear. I will not give away any spoilers, but the Blinkins spend the rest of the day formulating their plan and putting it into effect.

This is a GREAT cartoon. I loved it as a child, would love it now, and I would love to get this on DVD to watch again.
