My Big Big Friend (52 x 11’) -- The imaginations of children are truly incredible. In their imaginations, kids can go anywhere, be anyone and do anything. And sometimes their imaginations can even create new playmates; which is exactly what happened to three young friends; Yuri, Lili and Matt. My Big Big Friend is an engaging animated series for kids 3-5 where BIG problems shrink down to size with the help of a big, big friend.
