Unlikely friendships are at the centre of the programme for ages six and up, bringing together creatures and worlds that were never supposed to meet. A tiny bottle opener makes peace through shared music with a group of mice in a magical, dreamlike stop-motion setting (Tin Tune). A human protagonist aches with loss after a giant rat disappears (On the Mat Outside my Door). And a bear follows her friend – a migratory bird – on a fairytale journey south, driven purely by longing (The Bear and the Bird). Each story finds richness in encounters with the unfamiliar.
