Three years of award-winning films finally come together in this program where little characters discover big courage. The little mouse might be able to outsmart the other animals in the forest, but what happens when he’s faced with the giant Gruffalo itself? Will Morris Lessmore find a way to fix his black-and-white world, or is the color lost forever? And can a penguin find its way to the South Pole before it’s too late? These characters don’t let the big world keep them from following their dreams!
