PHOTO COMING SOON

Stuck inside a toy crane game, a lonely toy hippo meets a buff-colored owl named Calypto, as well as a pig and a goat. The animals work together to help the hippo overcome his broken spirit. Together, they teach him the meaning of true friendship, how to embrace opportunities as they come, and not to fear life on the outside of the toy crane game. 

However, when Harley is captured as a prize, he’s not sure he wants to leave his friends behind, not until he sees something in the face of a little girl that gives him hope for a wonderful life ahead. 

The toy hippos’ life is about to change in ways he only dreamed about, but can he find the strength to “let go” of the life he knows, leave behind his only friends? 

Can this once rejected, reclaimed, teased and bullied, lonely hippo trust his friends, believe that his biggest adventures in life will begin when he leaves the comforts of his toy crane game home? Can his friends help him understand that to claim your own dreams, sometimes, you have to fall?
