Synopsis

Pete the Badger's peaceful day is disrupted by a tiny fly, which soon becomes a swarm, bothering all the woodland animals. In an attempt to rid their home of these pests, they capture every insect. However, this leads to unforeseen consequences: no one is left to clean up waste, and the forest's fruit supply dwindles. Realising their mistake, Pete and his friends learn the vital role even the smallest creatures play in maintaining nature's balance.
