Synopsis
Orson is a pig living on a farm with his friends, arrogant yet gold-hearted Roy Rooster, scaredy cat duck Wade, adventurous chick Booker, sentient egg Sheldon, sheep siblings Bo and Lanolin, and kitten-puppy duo Cody and Blue. Orson finds his life perfect... or so he thinks. When he sees old photos of him as a young piglet with his parents Richard and Lara, he suddenly remembers them as they have moved to a different farm from far, far, far away, and, determined to see them again for a heartwarming reunion, gathers himself and his friends to prepare for the long journey awaiting.
