In
the small community of Busheridoo, five young wombats practice
long hours with their band, hoping for musical stardom. Wendy,
the lead singer, songwriter and motivator of the group often
finds it hard when the other members don't want to work as
hard as she does. However, when news of a fabulous talent
contest run by a famous blues singer and piano player reaches
the furry ears of these big-time hopefuls, it seems nothing
will stand in the way of their dreams. Nothing that is, except
a big old lizard with his own ideas about what stardom can
bring.
In
this tale of dreams, friendship and making music, five little
critters learn that fame isn’t everything... but friends certainly
are!
