PLOT : Gino is a small crocodile living along the banks of the Tiber, but the other river animals see him as a stranger—except Thomas, a quirky seagull who befriends him. Struggling with an identity crisis, Gino seeks guidance from Ofelia, a wise owl, with Thomas and Claire, a wild and sinuous cat. Along the way, they stumble upon a sinister plot by Willow, the ruthless leader of the rats, who has declared war on humans. With the help of some large animals from the Rome Zoo, the trio sets out to stop Willow, embarking on an adventure filled with action and humor.
