IN THE FOREST OF HUCKYBUCKY

Category: Edition 2017

Synopsis
Claus Climbermouse, Morten Wood Mouse, Mister Hare and all their friends dwell in the Huckybucky forest - a nice place to live, but the tiny animals always have to watch out for some of the bigger ones. Marvin the Fox in particular has an unfortunate tendency to try to devour all the mice crossing his path. As Horace Hedgehog attempts to eat Morten’s grandma, he tries to pass a law for all the animals to agree to be friends and stop eating each other.
