Adventure often brings reward, but sometimes it also brings challenges. In these shorts, we can watch as our protagonists venture out in the name of discovery and family.


In this collection of shorts, characters find that family is sometimes found where you least expect it, especially after an adventure. In one short, the lives of four lively Arctic hares discover a strange new creature - a chihuahua left behind by a cruise ship passenger. Can they take care of it? In another short, we discover that being born during a storm is never easy, much less having to take care of a sibling - and finding Mama, as well. One little owl sets off to do just that.


Shorts Program Duration: 57 minutes


Themes: Identity; adventure; persistence, courage; family is who you make it, new friends.


Language: This program is presented in English, Nonverbal and French with English subtitles.


Geoblocking Notice: This program is only available in the Chicagoland area.
