'Oh man! Go find someone to help you get better. Christmas is around the corner. You know... nobody buys toys after Christmas!' said Superhero when Chubby -- a teddy bear with a wool pullover and no pants -- felt unwell. Chubby embarks on an adventure through a La La Land toy store, discovering cancer, leukemia, chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation. He surprises us with a fun trip in a yellow toy Beetle, with friends, and his own Happy Ending.
