WANDER TO WONDER

Wander to Wonder is about the demise of a popular seventies kids TV series with the same name, featuring three furry characters, Mary, Billybud and Fumbleton who live in The Wondering Tree. The show's creator and presenter, Uncle Gilly, meets the characters in each episode to teach them about the world.

During the film, we find out that the three furry characters are actually tiny little human actors that have been playing these roles for over 30 years and have never been allowed out of the studio.

After the death of their creator, they are left to their own devices and food is running out. Without Uncle Gilly, the family falls apart. With their slowly decaying costumes and growing hunger, they continue to make increasingly strange episodes for their fans. One day it all goes terribly wrong, and they lose everything they once knew.
