Falstaff. The Merry Toys of Windsor
Scattered around Windsor's bedroom, his toys don't stand still! They meet, chase each other and never get bored. Also because there is no shortage of jokes, and behind every prank there is always the old robot Falstaff, once the family's favourite toy, now put aside, all rusty and dusty, but eager to get back into the hearts of the children at home, and willing to do anything to do so. His latest idea is a scam involving the two newcomers, Alice and Meg. Fresh with purchase as they are, all he has to do is to make them fall at his feet to get back into the family's favourite toy cupboard. They may be dolls, but they don't intend to be made fun of, on the contrary!
Thus begins a whirlwind of pranks and disguises that will also be an opportunity for all the toys to learn to joke, but with respect and without taking anyone for granted. On the contrary, by going beyond differences and stereotypes, it will be a time for them to discover that they are much more alike than they imagined.
LABORATORY
