Synopsis
Eckhart and Brigid, with the help of Laddy the dog, discover a nearby dump full of treasures that soon becomes the community amusement park for everyone to enjoy. But not for long! Boss Mouse employs the muscle of local rats to enforce his control over the park: two hours of play in "Boss Mouseland" will cost each mouse two hours of work for Boss Mouse. Boss Mouse convinces two Junkyard rats to help police the community into paying. Soon, Boss Mouse slips up, he's caught in his own game, and his life is on the line. No matter how much Eckhart dislikes Boss Mouse, Boss Mouse's life is more important than an amusement park. Timidly, Boss Mouse must give the dump back to the community, because Eckhart saved his life, so they may all enjoy it for free.

Production notes
Eckhart celebrates the pioneering spirit, and the joys and challenges of growing up in a beautiful, magical place called Prince Edward Island. The family series explores really big themes from a very small perspective- that of a mouse named Eckhart, who is full of irrepressible wonderment about the mysteries of his world. A cast of colorful characters joins Eckhart: Grandpa Tomis, mother Clara and sister Mavis; Bridgid and Sweeney, the barn mice; Boss Mouse and his henchmen Ned and Shorty; Madame Thel; Sir Roswald the skunk; Winnie the horse; and many others.
Thirty-nine episodes are planned.
