Synopsis for the Cartoon Special Goodnight Moon & Other Sleepytime Tales

Everybody's favorite bedtime story, "Goodnight Moon," comes to life. Along with other beloved animated tales and lullabies, children and stars come together in a delightful exploration of the nighttime world. Children offer wise and witty reflections on a host of sleepytime topics, from the comfort of "blankies" to Native American dreamcatchers, from monsters and nightmares to the mysteries of dreamland.

And since it's nighttime, the stars are out: Susan Sarandon narrates "Goodnight Moon," Tony Bennett sings the swing classic "Hit the Road to Dreamland," Lauryn Hill lends a new rhythm to the rhyme "Hush, Little Baby," the many voices of Billy Crystal bring "There's a Nightmare in My Closet" to animated life, Natalie Cole tells the tale of Faith Ringgold's "Tar Beach," Aaron Neville sings "Brahms' Lullaby," and Patti LaBelle performs "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."

It's a special night for all the family to snuggle up and share in the pleasures of dreams, lullabies, big hugs, goodnight kisses and... "Goodnight Moon."
