Synopsis

In this delightful retelling of the classic tale, a freshly baked Gingerbread Man leaps from the oven and dashes through the countryside, evading a host of pursuers—including a little old woman, a little old man, and various farm animals. With each encounter, he boasts, 'Run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!' But can he outsmart the cunning fox waiting at the river's edge?
