Based on the timeless picture book written by Julia Donaldson, this animation film tells the wonderful tale of a little mouse who goes on an adventure through the woods to find a nut, but comes across a fox, an owl and a snake who all want to eat him. In order to stay alive the clever, quick-thinking mouse makes up a monster bigger than all of them named the Gruffalo, who, he tells the predators, is his friend and would like to eat each of them.
Silly predators, the Gruffalo isn't real, he's just made up....or is he?
