Summaries

Two schoolchildren learn valuable life lessons from a buffalo, a red-tailed hawk, a bobcat, and a prairie dog.

Follows the adventures of eleven-year-old Zach Nichols (Pamela Adlon) and ten-year-old Annie Redfeather (Kath Soucie) as they suffer pain from issues involving other children. To solve these problems, they seek council from a group of anthropomorphic animals whose names come from the Greek - Plato (Kevin Michael Richardson), an old and scholarly bison; Aurora (Gillian Barber), a wise red-tailed hawk; Socrates (Frank Welker), a rambunctious and wisecracking bobcat; and Aristotle (Jim Cummings), a feisty and bookish prairie dog. This ensemble teaches the kids virtues by telling them stories from the Book of Virtues.—Nate S.
