The latest from the award-winning studio Magic Light Pictures is a beautiful story of an unlikely friendship, that begins when a snail that longs to see the world hitches a lift on a humpback whale’s tail. Together they go on an amazing journey, past icebergs, volcanoes, sharks, and penguins, experiencing a wonderous celebration of a lush and diverse natural world. Recommended for ages 5 and up.
