The Animated Adventure
An animated special for all the family about Tabby McTat, based on the picture book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
In the bustling heart of London, Tabby McTat (Sope Dirisu), a singing cat, and his busker friend Fred (Rob Brydon) entertain passing crowds, and the pair are 'purrrfectly happy'. One day, while Tabby McTat takes a stroll, he stumbles upon a friendly feline named Sock (Susan Wokoma). Then fate takes an unexpected turn when a thief steals the buskers' hard-earned money.
