A toy train teaches a sleeping child the rules of the rails, and the film means it with complete sincerity. The hybrid of live action, traditional animation, and stop motion creates something that feels like a memory of something that never happened, a dreamlike gentleness that sits closer to silent cinema than modern children's media. Six minutes of pure comfort, where the only agenda is showing you what wonder looks like through a child's eyes.

A father gives his young son a toy train, and the boy loves it. When he drifts off to sleep that night, the train springs to life and crawls into bed beside him, pulling him into a dream about how to behave properly on a train. The short film mixes live action, traditional animation and stop motion. A conductor goes about his work while every character appears as an animal in human form, and the humor turns silly: hippo ladies in dresses struggle to squeeze into the cars, and other passengers play jokes and stir up chaos.
