Pufnstuf
A musical adventure of Double-Stuffed proportions!
A whimsical, colorful puppet-filled musical fantasy where a boy and his magical flute find friendship and safety on a magical island despite a cartoonishly villainous witch's schemes.
Jimmy (Jack Wild) ventures to Living Island with his magical, talking flute, Freddy. Once there, he befriends many of the island's inhabitants, but the evil Witchiepoo (Billie Hayes) is determined to steal Freddy the flute away from the boy to impress the visiting Witches' Council and win the Witch of the Year Award.
