Run away to the circus with Toby Tyler!

In the tradition of the best Disney live action films, Toby Tyler doesn't disappoint...and it's a real memory-maker. Disney discovery Kevin Corcoran - who appeared in more than a dozen Disney films in the 50's and 60's (Swiss Family Robinson, Pollyanna, Old Yeller) - stars as an orphan in a foster home who runs away to join the circus when he believes his uncle and aunt no longer want him.

Based on the children's book Toby Tyler, Or Ten Weeks With A Circus by James Otis Kaler, Toby meets Ben, Sam the circus clown, and Mr. Tupper (a conman of sorts). Tupper aims to take advantage of the wide-eyed Tyler by giving him a job selling concessions at the circus. Predictably, Tupper takes advantage of Toby by keeping him in the dark about his rights and his uncle and aunt\'s true feelings, while also making him think he\'s indebted to Tupper for giving him the opportunity to help him line his pockets.

The real fun begins when Toby meets the mischievous Mr. Stubbs - a frisky and playful chimpanzee! Together they fall into hilarious jams and scams that are more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Get your peanuts, popcorn, and candied apples, then jump into a classic Disney three-ring circus that will have the whole family in stitches!
