Benjamin Bat (6+)

Benjamin Bat (6+)

You won’t believe it, but Benjamin Bat, the hero of this animation, is afraid of the dark. That's pretty awkward for an animal that normally lives in the dark. During the day, he risks his life scavenging for food as he needs to watch out for the sun and scary birds. To complicate matters even further: he falls in love with a tropical songbird which makes things more exciting!
