The Gruffalo: The magical tale of a mouse who sets out on a woodland adventure in search of a nut. Encountering predators who all wish to eat him – Fox, Owl and Snake – the brave mouse creates a terrifying, imaginary monster to frighten them away. But what will the mouse do when he meets this frightful monster for real?

Stick Man: A happy-go-lucky father’s epic journey to make it home in time for Christmas, with a little help from Santa. Stick Man’s enduring efforts against setbacks will make sure that there is not a dry eye in the house!
