Until a name mix-up at the bus-boarding area sends the boys to each other's destinations, and while Eddie gets a taste of the good life, Frederick has to deal with being without all his usual comforts. Eventually, they both learn some valuable life-lessons.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jason Weaver voiced young Simba in The Lion King the same year, making this his actual less-famous 1994 project.
This aired on ABC as part of their 'Wonderful World of Disney' revival, part of a brief 90s boom in family TV movies that treated kids like they could handle actual themes.
