The Best Christmas Ever! (1990)

Just five days before Christmas, when Poofer the Elf tries to help his best friend Gusty the Elf, he gets lost and winds up in the home of the Smiths, a loving family, and meets their caroling neighbors as well. He and the Smiths journey to the North Pole in an effort to aid Gusty, who has grown unexceptionably clumsy. After the elves, and even Santa Claus himself wrestle with the issue, Susie realizes what's wrong - Gusty needs a new pair of glasses. This story encourages children to wear glasses (if they need them), but also has subtle messages about cultural diversity, helping others, the importance of working together, the importance of wearing a seat belt and helmet while traveling, and that an adoptive family can be as close and loving as any other.

Wee Singdom: The Land of Music and Fun (1996)

Wee Sing characters Punchinello, Sillywhim, Little Bunny Foo Foo, Weeber, the Snoodle Doodles, and Trunky (originally Tusky) who are all seven from the earlier Wee Sing Videos, ride the Wee Sing Train to Singalingaland where Singaling the humanoid monster-like mascot with yellow-colored body (voiced by Mikey Moran) and Warbly the bird-like mascot with green-colored body (voiced by Maureen Robinson) are hosting a big musical party called "The Wee Sing Festival". Singalingaland also happens to be an extension of Tim and Annie's game board. However, the main guest of honor (a singing rainbow, voiced by Diane Reynolds) is missing, so as each character performs his or her respective performance, Chugalong the Engine and Cubby the Caboose are sent to go look for her by asking a cirrus, stratus, cumulus cloud where she disappeared too. Eventually, she is found after Tim and Annie find her on their gameboard playing with their cat, Staccato, and as a reward, they are invited to attend the Wee Sing Festival, and the singing rainbow is able to perform her special color song.
