From Chris Moll, the award winning producer of Wallace and Gromit – the Wrong Trousers, comes the delightful stop-frame comedy adventure. Meet Sludger, an unloved aardvark whose awkwardness cannot hide his amazing rhythmical ability.
Together with his canny caterpillar companion Feldwich, he embarks on an adventure to the glamorous and exotic Beak City that will see friendship and talent finally triumph as Sludger transforms into Hamilton Mattress, drummer extraordinaire, who brings music, colour and joy back to his tribe.
