    Charming nightmare fuel

    A boy finds an invisible friend the adults think it's imaginary, it turned out to be more real than they thought.

    I thought it was going to be moral lesson of a boy coming out of his shell or facing his nightmares at his first day of high school. In fact a creepy rat human hybrid was following him. If I watched this as a kid I would certainly get nightmares. Couldn't they make the creature a little more appealing?

    brill film !!!!!!!

    This is a great film takes me back to my childhood. Only one problem I cant seem to find a copy of it anywhere? If anyone reads this I would love to hear if you know of how I can get my hands on a copy! Its such a funny film, I have lots of great memories sitting watching it with my big brother. I would love to see it again in all its glory that I can remember. I would also like a copy to show my children when I have any. I have most of my friends looking for a copy all over the web but so far no good , Its an absolutely fab film!!!!!!! I think it should be back on at Christmas instead of all the same old films!!!! Thanks A very BIG fuzz bucket fan

    A Masterpiece of Cinema

    In the beginning, God made Man and Woman. This was a mistake, as he clearly should have made Fuzzbuckets' too, with their creepy faces and patchy hair on their bodies. Fuzzbuckets come from down under the ground and are secretly living among us right now, as every day a Fuzzbucket magically wakes up out of his/her home and turns invisible and must harass small children in order to get juice to replinish its minerals and become a visible Fuzzbucket again. The spell is only officially lifted though, when a Fuzzbucket makes it back home before dark, unless the case of commercials, in which case early morning. The T.V. program of Fuzzbucket, which is not only obviously brilliant, but inspiring and one of the best programs of our time, is also a true story. Fuzzbucket's are real and should be treated with the respect of our Disney channel counterparts, by making sure we tell them we love them, and after immedietely hating on them until they reappear again. He goes around and watches cartoons and believes he is Santa claus and gives kids whom he harasses gifts to give to their parents, if not directly already. This case of Fuzzbucketitis- as it is known in their world- is very common and should be treated with about as much respect as Fuzzbucket has for waxy draw's and tunes. Fuzzbucket is a masterpiece of cinema, that has stood the test of time as well as Michael Jackson. Here's hoping the release of Fuzzbucket 2: The Bucketening will come out soon, but until then, enjoy this beloved family classic on Disney +

    Childhood magic

    My sister and I had a copy of this on video tape when we were little and used to watch it all the time. We have no idea where it is now and would love to get hold of another copy! Please let me know if you manage to find a copy of this as I would really appreciate it - as well as everyone else on this page! I have even tried emailing Disney and also asking someone I know who works for them, but with no luck! It's such a lovely little magical film - it's the kind that makes you feel good and all nostalgic, and also (from what I can remember!), will make you shout along with the little kid - FUZZBUKEEEEEEETTTT!!!... - at the end!

    Early Mick Garris short film is fun homage to "Harvey"

    Oddball episode of The Wonderful World of Disney from the 80s that I caught on TCM as part of a double feature with Disney's original version of "Pete's Dragon." Both films feature a young boys with an invisible friend no one else believes is real. Compared to "Pete's Dragon," this film is more "Harvey" in that for most of the story you don't know if this it's an imaginary friend or if Fuzzbucket is real (because what self-respecting creature would name itself Fuzzbucket). This episode was written and directed by Mick Garris, who was a regular writer on Steven Spielberg's "Amazing Stories" (he'd later go on to create the brilliant "Masters of Horror" anthology series) and this episode feels very much in the vein of Spielberg's series, primary telling family friendly Twilight Zone-style of stories. The cast includes a few recognizable faces, including Joe Regalbuto (Frank from "Murphy Brown"), John Vernon (Deal Wormer from "Animal House"), and an unrecognizable Phil Fondacaro (the troll from "Troll") as Fuzzbucket. Nothing brilliant, but it's likable and will entertain.
