Synopsis

A hilarious adventure set on the African plains.

The richest crocodile in the world lives in Africa in a huge mansion filled with books and beautiful flowers. He has cars, motorbikes, helicopters...and a giraffe-butler. In fact, he has everything that anyone could possibly want...except friends. One day the crocodile looks out across the African plains and sees all sorts of animals having fun, sploshing around in their waterhole, laughing and playing hide-and-seek. He lures the animals to his mansion, writing 'Come to Croc's' in the air with one of his aeroplanes. They party, swim in the pool and watch films in the private cinema. But, despite all the excitement, the animals decide to return to the waterhole where they really belong and where everyday is a new adventure. And they are joined in their natural habitat by a new group member... the crocodile!
