KOYAA THE EXTRAORDINARY

Category: Edition 2011

Synopsis

Koyaa tackles everyday situations in his own wacky way. In the morning, he wants to tie his shoes but the naughty laces won't listen. Luckily, he's not alone on the remote mountain ledge: when things start getting crazy, his friend the wise Raven is always ready to help.

 

Sinossi

Koyaa affronta in modo stravagante situazioni quotidiane. Al mattino vuole allacciarsi le scarpe, ma i lacci disobbedienti non vogliono ascoltare. Per fortuna Koyaa non è solo nella sua terrazza su un monte remoto. Infatti quando le cose cominciano a comportarsi in modo folle, il suo saggio amico Corvo è sempre pronto ad intervenire.
