Fuzzbucket

Fuzzbucket is a 1986 American fantasy adventure television film written, produced and directed by Mick Garris, starring Chris Hebert as Michael Gerber.

Phil Fondacaro physically portrays Michael's invisible friend, Fuzzbucket, while Hal Smith provides the character's voice.

The film also stars Joe Regalbuto as Michael's dad, Wendy Phillips as his mother, Robyn Lively as his older sister, and John Vernon as the Principal.

Michael Gerber is an awkward young boy who is about to start junior high and has no real friends.

In the first act of the film, both the viewer and every character except Michael is left to make the assumption that Fuzzbucket is an imaginary friend.

The two friends share a heartfelt moment in his treehouse when Fuzzbucket traces their hands with crayons, a ceremony that makes them blood brothers.

Fuzzbucket thanks Michael for "saving his life," taking his hand, kissing it, and making a strange slurping sound.

They set their gifts aside and share an intimate moment, when the camera pans to show Fuzzbucket sneaking away from the house.
