Three Capybaras on a City Quest (vol. III)


A sloth, three friends and a jungle of surprises

While searching for a missing baby sloth, the three capybaras Emmy, Tristan and Raul accidentally end up on a truck – and find themselves in the heart of the urban jungle. Far from the safety of their zoo enclosure, they must navigate a world full of cars, flashing traffic lights and, even worse, people. And worst of all: no scheduled feeding times!

With humour, courage, and a good dose of luck, the trio tackles the chaos of city life – and discovers the true meaning of friendship and helping others.

A fast-paced, funny adventure full of heart, suspense and irresistible animal charm.
