Some kids are frightened of the things that go bump in the night. Willie is one of those kids. Although Willy is an amazing kid, he has an astounding imagination that sometimes creates very scary creatures. When his parents tell him they are moving, the monsters return. In his wishful but unrealistic thinking, Willy needs someone to save him. This is when his childhood teddy bear, Gooby, comes to life to save the day.

This is not only a movie that deals with the things that frighten children but also it is a story that may teach parents a lesson or two. This is truly a movie for the entire family. There may be some parts that are a little frightening at first for small children but not much different from some cartoons. Dove awards the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to “Gooby”.
