Synopsis

Felecia the fox is unlike any other fox. She has given up the awful habit of eating small animals for a more civilized life as a vegetarian. While looking for a new home, Felicia is befriended by Eckhart and all the mice of Crumbfest Cove. But when a rift develops between Felecia and Sir Roswald, Eckhart must choose between his friendship with the skunk and a fox in sheep's clothing.

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.

Spun off from "The True Meaning of Crumbfest," an award-winning 1998 Christmas special.

Based on David Weale's "The True Meaning of Crumbfest," which first appeared in "An Island Christmas Reader" in 1994.
