The remainder of the characters form a ragtag squad of forest and jungle animals. Adding to the fun and excitement is Danila Medvedev lending his voice to a wolf, who is not as intimidating as one might expect from this species, but is instead a source of empathy and humor.

Upon realizing their unfortunate mix-up, Mic-Mic, Oscar and their newly assembled band of misfit animals embark on a life-changing journey across the globe to deliver the panda cub to his rightful parents.
