In this series of shorts unexpected friendships and encounters place our characters in unusual circumstances.
Leaping out of the pages, these characters come alive. In one short, based on the Julia Donaldson book, when a tiny snail meets a humpback whale, the two travel together to far-off lands. It's a dream come true for the snail, who has never left home before. But when the whale swims too close to shore, will the snail be able to save her new friend? Narrated by Diana Rigg. Then in the final short, a city boy has an unexpectedly magical encounter with planet Earth one day at a museum and takes this experience outdoors for a brand-new perspective. Based on Oliver Jeffers best-selling picture book, Narrated by Meryl Streep.
