Plot synopsis[]

Telly feels left out when all the other kids at Gina's day care are going to the circus and lies that his uncle is a ringmaster. After Gina reads the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," Elmo has a dream of the story where the boy, named Leo, learns his lesson. When Telly's uncle (Dennis Quaid) drops in for a surprise visit, Telly admits the truth.

Notes[]

  • Prior to commercial release, the video was titled "Telly Tells the Truth." A promotional demo VHS was produced with a slightly different cover (with a circus poster in place of Elmo), though the contents of the video refer to it by its final title. The video also opens with a different title card read by a male voiceover, whereas Telly reads the title in the final version.
